That smell?

revidThat's the odor of my credit card smoking from overuse today. But unlike termite abatement and deck repair, at least I'll be having fun when the smoke clears.
I booked airfare and hotel for 7 days in Cozumel, Mexico over Thanksgiving week. I got invited to fill up the roster on a trip with a small but great group of divers who head there every year. We should get to go to dive sites that the cattle boats don't go to, and I haven't dived Coz in 15 years, so I'm very excited about this trip.
Then I got a text from![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
feels_like_fire who heard a rumor from a co-worker that Alkaline Trio were going to play in Davis on 6 June, and could I pleasepleaseplease check and see if tickets were on sale. Well, there was no Davis show listed, but lo and behold, AK3 are playing a local venue a whopping 12 miles from my home the previous day! So, god bless the internet, and conveniently I hadn't even put my card away from the dive trip purchase yet.
In Green Day news (such as it is), as expected, the article in today's NME had nothing that we hadn't already heard. However, I actually appreciated the author's outline of where Green Day are right now and how they got there. I thought it was well thought out and articulated. The scans can be found over on Green Day Authority.
Is it possible for human beings to "jump the shark?" Because if so, Pete Wentz and Ashlee Simpson really and truly have.
I think the kid with the dreads goes home on American Idol tonight. Blondie went home. Dreads goes next week. I still continue to be madly in love with David Cook, who has more talent than the other four combined. But could they please let him sing a song from this century?
Yeah, so what if he's young enough to be my son? Stop looking at me like that!
