Railroad Earth at the Catalyst

The last three days have gone by quickly and stressfully. Luckily I have something to look forward to...a concert! I'm going to see Railroad Earth at the Catalyst (my favorite venue) on Friday January 28th. It should be tons of fun. I've been a fan of theirs for awhile, so it'll be nice to see them live. They definitely have a unique sound. Pretty folksy. Well here's a picture of the Catalyst:

They are definitely worth checking out :)

Capitola

Horseback riding went well the other day. My friend's farm (which is really a stable with a garden) is situated in a small grassy valley. Only five minutes of riding brought us out of the valley and into a lightly wooded area. It was quite fun. And for the record, I didn't end up riding bareback.

Anyway, today I am going to Capitola! It's too nice of a day to not go to the beach.

Riding Bareback

I'm going to my friend's farm tomorrow to go horseback riding. I've been making puns about "riding bareback" ever since my friend first started riding. So apparently she's going to try to get me to actually ride without a saddle tomorrow. I'll let you guys know if my coccyx gets fractured.

Coffee and...

I had coffee with the hippie today. We went to a nice independent coffee shop that served overly expensive, bland coffee. But the conversation was very nice. In fact, I think the hippie is growing on me. At the least, I have a new best friend. In other news, I might be driving out to Vegas this weekend. :)

Turned In

The paper was turned in yesterday. Oh what a great feeling!

In other news, I bought some eye drops at the dollar store. I'll let you guys know if I get lead poisoning.

Bonfire

I worked on the paper all day. I'm about 65% done. I'd love to share it with all of you, but more than likely, someone would come along down the line and try to claim it as their own! So you'll just have to believe me that it's good. :)

In other news, I'm leaving for a bonfire in an hour. Time to get out my acoustic guitar and sweatshirt!

Paper Shmaper

Work today was fun. I shuffled papers. I answered phone calls. I made coffee. I had sex on the desk. Ah, the life of a secretary. (Okay, the last part was false) I actually do like my job, though. It just sounds boring when I blog about it...

I also started my paper today. Oh political science, how I <3 you! It's going pretty well though, and I'm hoping to finish before Monday. :) Later tonight I'm going to a bar. I need to blow off some steam. What will I drink? I don't know. But I know what I might drink...which brings me to...

ELIZABETH'S TOP 5 ALCOHOLIC DRINKS OF 2010
1. Black Russian.
2. Sea Breeze.
3. Long Island Ice Tea.

2. Fill the rest of the glass with chilled orange juice.
