Record Store Day...

I'm so sad. Today is Record Store Day and instead of being able to wander around my favorite record shop I'm stuck at the library working.  It sucks because by the time I get off nothing cool is going to be happening. I always have to work when fun stuffing going on.

Anyways, for any of you interested here is some information on Record Store Day...

The original idea for Record Store Day was conceived by Chris Brown, and was founded in 2007 by Eric Levin, Michael Kurtz, Carrie Colliton, Amy Dorfman, Don Van Cleave and Brian Poehner as a celebration of the unique culture surrounding over 700 independently owned record stores in the USA, and hundreds of similar stores internationally. 

This is the one day that all of the independently owned record stores come together with artists to celebrate the art of music. Special vinyl and CD releases and various promotional products are made exclusively for the day and hundreds of artists in the United States and in various countries across the globe make special appearances and performances. Festivities include performances, cook-outs, body painting, meet & greets with artists, parades, djs spinning records and on and on. Metallica officially kicked off Record Store Day at Rasputin Music in San Francisco on April 19, 2008 and Record Store Day is now celebrated the third Saturday every April. 


I hope that someone gets to enjoy the events of today!


Any of you guy collect vinyls? If so, how many do you have in your collection? I'm interested in know what other people have.

Lazy Sunday...

I've been super lazy all weekend long, especially today. All I managed to do today as of thus far was have brunch with Justin and wander around my favorite record store for a bit before heading back to Justin's apartment, which is where I am currently.

In honor of my lazy day here is Lonely Island's "Lazy Sunday" an SNL Digital Short from 2005.

Crappy Day...

If you follow me on Twitter you know that I had a pretty crappy day. It all started out when I left my house late and noticed that I only had a half a quarter tank of gas. So I have a mini freak out and I drove as quickly as I could to a gas station and filled up my tank and booked it to work.

I ended up ran into the library just as the custodian was about to unlock the door the public uses, so punched in and ran up the stairs because I didn't know if anyone was in the Youth Services Department. While running up the stairs I tripped and ended up hurting my wrist as I was trying to not bust my face open. So I ended up spending the entire morning icing my wrist.

On top of my injury we had to deal with "Julia" calling in sick claiming that she had a stomach bug, which was a pain because "Amy" and have two big program on Wednesday mornings -- Which I couldn't help with because of my wrist.

After a painful and blah morning my Department Head came in at 1:00pm and I recounted the entire morning for her and made sure she knew that "Julia" called in with a stomach flu, yet she told "Amy" that she might come in for her program later in the day (If you have a stomach flu you should not be able to come in later in the day, she is such a liar).

When she found this out she called her house. Got no answer. Then she tried calling her cell. She answered and apparently she was outside in the parking lot about to walk into the building. Our Department Head told her she needed to get back in her car and go home because she would not let her get anyone else sick. This all happened while I was out to lunch with Lenni.

When I got back from lunch I found out about that and that "Amy" left work for the rest of the day because both of her parents had a stomach bug also. Now why she had to leave makes no sense to me. When someone has a stomach flu/virus there is nothing anyone can do about it, it has to run it's course. Apparently "Amy" is stupid and doesn't know this.

The funny thing about the "Amy" and "Julia" situations was that "Marie" and I called all of this happening in the morning. "Marie" said that she'd thought that "Amy" would leave midday to deal with her sick parents and I told "Marie" that "Julia" would try to come in at some point in the day because she used up all her sick leave.

Because of what happened with those idiots my Department Head was super pissy (She was kinda pissy when she walked in and it didn't help that I was hurt and reusing to do "Julia's" afternoon program) and was kind of a bitch for the rest of the day. So, I spent my day in pain with a bitchy boss. It sucked.

The only nice thing that happened today was that "Favorite Page#2" came in with a belated birthday present for me. He got me an LP of Adele's album 21, which I really want and was super happy to get. So that was the silver lining of my crappy day.

365 Days Of Pictures: Day 334...

On The Hunt...

I had the best day out with "Favorite Page #2" today. The two of us spend the entire day bopping from thrift store to thrift store and from record store to record store to see what LP's and 45's we could find -- Yup, we're both dorks with record players. It was so much fun and it was just nice to be able to go into those kinds of stores with someone who appreciated them and wouldn't get bored while one hunts around for crap. We enjoyed ourselves so much we decided to do it possible once a month if we were both free on the same day. I can't wait for our next trip!

I actually have more 45's but I have no idea what they are because I bought bags full of them from the thrift stores for $1.00. I buy them like that because you never know what you're gonna get and I've been surprised by what I've gotten.
