Yesterday I was thinking about the 80's and immediately thought of the bands A-Ha and Depeche Mode. Who do you think of right away? Thompson Twins pop in there pretty quickly and then I visualize images from MTV of them...I was right there when MTV began and it was so cool. They had a rocket taking off as their commercial and 2 DJ's I think. There were no shows, just music. I remember one time I was babysitting and my brother Brandon came along. That night MTV was having a Madonna True Blue music video contest. That night we heard that song play over and over and over 100's of times, with different video's. I was so sick of the song but I couldn't quit watching the video's. I was 13. I would walk over to my best friend's house and we would listen to Depeche mode, breathe in incense and smoke pot. Young huh? My life was crazy back then. We also had this Indian friend Umperkosh who was CRAZY for Madonna. He was probably 11 or 12, super dark skin, new to the US with broken english. He was hilarious. I had a huge poster of Madonna in my room on my ceiling and when he saw it he shrieked like a girl grabbing his chest and swooning over her trying to touch it and kiss it. He was obsessed. I had another friend Holly that was totally obsessed with Nick of Duran Duran and copied his exact hairstyle everyday. He was a part of our daily conversations, I got to know a lot obout him. Through my brothers I was forced to be subjected to RATT and Motley Crue and such. Back then I couldn't stand the butt rockers and would give them so much shit! Now I love em

So it's summer time officially which means that the pool is up, the gardens are growing and camping is in the immediate future. Burning Man is also coming up soon...end of August.



Last week I had SO much fun at Gasworks Park rolling down the hill. We had so much fun during the day that we went back that night under the full moon and rolled down while the sprinklers were going and got soaked! I have never been so dizzy for so long! And of course we played frisbee. Everywhere we went.

(the images are too big, so right click to see the whole thing)







We saw this dog while we were there and when he ran he got long and when he just stood there he was short again. Wiener dog- regular dog. SO hilarious. I thought my eyes were deceiving me but Tanya saw it too. This was the coolest dog I have ever met. The only dog I ever saw that was a cartoon in real life.





We were drinking Southern Comfort, which is I actually think tastes disgusting...as you can see!



Haha! Not so good eh?
