Scrambled brains and bands


I woke up, on my own, far too early, considering my alarm clock was already set for an unreasonably premature waking hour. I’m thinking this needs to desist; it’s not very good for my 9-hour work day. My current iPod playlist likely doesn’t help, switching from Fall Out Boy’s “Get Busy Living or Get Busy Dying” to Mozart’s Piano Sonata #15 in C. It feels my neuroticism, too. Haha.

Anyway, I am excited for the concert on Sunday, called River Riot, in Council Bluffs that my roommate, Erin, and I are going to. Featured bands are Blink 182, Fall Out Boy and Panic! At the Disco, all of whom I love. I am also going to the Iowa State Fair on Saturday after I take my practice LSAT. Should be a fun experience and great people-watching, if nothing else. Today is the opening day of the fair, and it’s sure to be sweltering as most opening days seem to be without avail. As always, the fair is bound to “bring out the best” of Iowa, with mullets on both sexes, too-tight tube tops, unnecessary skin revealing … I think you get my point. So many fried foods on a stick, too, including Twinkies, Snickers bars, and pineapple. There’s a reason that Smash, a Des Moines shirt company, introduced a new tee last year that said: “I went to the Iowa State Fair and all I got was type 2 diabetes. It’s not the place to go if you’re concerned with your caloric intake, but they did introduce a “salad-on-a-stick” at the fair last year; I doubt that went over well.
