#119 - st. patty's day


who knew green beer on st. patty's day would be so hard to find? last year mike and jeremy and keane and i went around looking for some green beer, we figured mai tai bar would be a safe bet but we got there and there was none! what's up with that? we looked around all over but finally gave up and just went to eat at bubba gumps. but it was st. patty's day and we felt defeated so we asked the waitress if she knew anywhere else we could get green beer and lucky us she was so nice she made us some green beer special.

so this year, my friend jill invited me to the block party downtown. perfect place to get some green beer right? i thought so. walking around (actually trudging through masses of drunk white people) none of the beer stands (which were like only 10 feet apart from each other) had green beer! finally we saw some girl with one so we asked her where she got it and she led us all the way through the street to the ONE stand that was making green beer.

way worth it.

pretty cool though, tons of people, kinda lame but that's how st. patty's day should be spent right? speaking of, irish girl did pretty good on american idol tonight i thought... don't know why simon didn't like it. but she was about the only one i liked, i guess i'm not a beatles fan because i thought all the songs were way crappy. the only beatles songs i know and actually like are "let it be" and "yesterday." i was surprised that no one picked "yesterday" last week. and what's up with the double theme weeks? LAME! and they proved it too because everyone was crappy tonight. only i like the irish girl and little bro (he should've sang "yesterday," i bet that would've been sweet), but since i didn't recognize his song and since it's st. patty's day i'll post irish girl. well... i didn't know her song either, but i kinda recognized it because the beginning is like the end of that lame "boyz in the hood" song... "punk ass trippin' in the dead of night.... hommie scored a key, he's gonna fly... punk ass fly." haha.

haha they were passing those things out! it says guinness :)

y'know i love the beatles. love love them! they could have a year's worth of AI with just beatles songs. i really like "blackbird" and she sounds awesome. ever see the movie "I am sam"? the soundtrack is all beatles covers, love it. the simplicity of their music makes you think you could easily sing it, but you can't.
