This weekend, I headed out to Poulsbo to see my good friend Lisa, in the States from Norway for a visit. Much beer was consumed. At one point, I was holding a banana slug and trying to educate someone on the beneficial role such creatures play in your garden (pro-tip: banana slugs are carnivores that eat those black slugs that get all up in your vegetables). So definitely a good party. And this morning, we stopped at J J's Fishhouse for some of the best fish and chips ever. Seriously, them shits is delicious. Great to see you again, Lisa; had a blast, and can't wait for the next time!
In other news, the job search continues. I had an interview, but I think I kind of fucked it up. Didn't lie when I should have. In any case, didn't get the job. I soldier on.
I kept thinking about posting something about the bullshit manufactured crisis over the debt limit, but the whole thing was so fucking stupid that I just couldn't bring myself to do it. Suffice it to say, shit didn't need to happen, and the American people got screwed, even if half of them are too goddamn dumb to realize it. Why poor people vote for Republicans is beyond me.
Finally, I discovered that Lollapalooza has been live-streaming concerts all weekend. Awesome. I managed to catch the Foo Fighters' set and holy shit, do they kick some asses. They've never been my favorite band ever, but they've always been solidly good, and they apparently do a hell of a live gig. Now I'm just hoping I can get employed and get the money to see them in Vancouver before that shit sells out.
(I would put up a Foo Fighters song to close out this post, but they're still going, and I really don't want to turn off the volume on "Everlong.")
Edit: Here's the vid of the aforementioned "Everlong":
