the new ra ra riot album the orchard. it’s mind-blowing. really. i’ve listened to it 4 times within the past 16 hours. it’s only $3.99 on amazon mp3 today so take the risk and buy it. best $4 i spent all summer….
beekeeping. i bought some honey from a local farmers market today and i am so completely impressed. i’m signing up for beekeeping classes this year for sure!!!
the weather has been more than agreeable if i must say.
it feels like fall.
fall!!!!
i do adore it!
only 1 more week until we move into our new chateau!!! this one for good. and only 17 days until i have my computer! im already emailing myself websites and bloggers and designs! i can’t wait until i get my computer back! this blog is going to be rockin! new designs! new music! i must have over 40 emails to myself for blogs for you. i’m telling you, just hang in there a little tighter and i’ll finally stop talking about myself and move onto prettier things.
alicia and i are in the process of coming up with a name for the new place. we have a few in the works but alicia isn’t fond of them yet. any ideas?
i also have some things on my schedule for the next month that i’m excited to share with you!!!!
in other news, i saw a film the other day that was extremely beautiful and exquisite and made me miss tennessee.
it’s called get low and its about a hermit who decides he wants to throw his own funeral and attend it. it was really lovely, in my top ten of the year for sure.
i highly recommend it.
anywho, that is all for now. i am so excited about this weather! i hope it stays this way. i hope you are well too.
after being insanely sick for two days and not eatting anything in 60 hours, i feel slightly normal again! yay yay yay! this makes me so happy happy happy!!!!
being sick and working and missing tears for fears concerts and reading and writing blogs about imperfection do not help all at once.
sorry for the blah blah posts this week, but i guess we all need those weeks every now and then.
i have plenty of good news though and the good news is this.
1.) i actually WANT to eat something. i don’t get sick at the thought of food. so i think lunch today is going to be the best ever. i don’t care what it is.
2.) in 2 weeks i’ll be in my new apartment! with my room!!!! in 3 i’ll have my computer and my bed and my books and vinyl and dvds. and in 5 i’ll have mr. amadeus!!!!! oh joy!
3.) it’s the weekend!
4.) okay, so i missed tears for fears and $100+ is down the drain. the next time they come around i’ll have a cute boy by my side and i’ll feel brilliant and we’ll dance the night away and it will be magical.
5.) did i mention that i’ll have amadeus soon?
6.) i got paid yesterday and though i shouldn’t buy anything, i think maybe a dress purchase on lulu’s and an order for tom’s shoes might be needed ♥♥♥
let me start off by saying that i think blogs are no place to openly criticize and judge companies. it is never my intention here to negatively shine a light on a company in order for you to avoid their business. i did, however, have a very unfortunate situation with ticketmaster that i somewhat need to vent on and also let my readers know so this doesn’t happen to them. i understand this is company policy and no individual is targeted.
in april it was announced that one of my favourite bands, tears for fears, were going on tour. tears for !@#$ing fears. they are amazing. an evening of singing « head over heels » and « everybody wants to rule the world » sounds like an amazing evening to me.
so the day they went on sale, i bought tickets. i knew i’d be in nyc by then but just in case i checked the box that said « purchase ticket protection in order to recieve a refund in case you are not able to make the event. » i paid $30 extra dollars because you really never know. i also bought 2 tickets because i thought that would be plenty of time to meet someone cool and ask if they wanted to come with.
well two weeks ago i realized i had to work and i also needed the money. so i struggled with myself and called the insurance company to have the tickets refunded.
in order to have a refund on tickets there must be either a.) your death b.) death of your spouse c.) cancelation of fight on the day of the event and other bull!@#$ reasons.
why do they not tell you this when you buy or right before you buy the protection plan? no where does it say « pay $30 in case you die so you can have your tickets refunded. »
i called ticketmaster and explained the situation, they put in a refund request that was, of course, denied.
that’s fine, i thought. i’ll just go by myself. i’ll still have a good time. well within the last 48 hours i’ve somehow gotten a virus because i’ve been insanely sick (they even sent me home from work.) i have called every person i know and i am not able to sell them on craigslist because im not able to meet someone and hand them over the tickets.
so here i am. incredibly sick. and out of $105, while one of my favourite bands is playing 10 miles away and i’m not there.
there’s two purposes to this blog. 1.) don’t by the ticket protection plan. 2.) i really think ticketmaster should have a better return policy.
