I've discovered the secret to weightloss..
Moving refrigerators, pianos and heavy boxes every day for three weeks. The past three weeks has been a packing, moving and unpacking extravaganza while we've been moving into a different house. I've been noticing that my clothes are feeling a bit more comfortable than usual so I weighed myself this morning. Yup, 4 pounds down with no regular workouts. Anyone need help moving any time soon? Actually, I'm hoping to be done unpacking by next weekend so I can get back to my workouts.
In other news...
This past weekend we took a break from the whole unpacking thing and went up to Phoenix for the Fall Frenzy music festival. We got to see Fallout Boy, Blink-182, Flogging Molly and Social Distortion. There were more bands playing earlier in the day but we couldn't stomach standing around in 104 degrees. I like the Bravery and all but dude, 104 degrees! Fallout Boy was really good, better than I expected actually. Someone needs to tell Pete Wentz that summer in Phoenix is a whole lot more comfortable if you're not wearing a black hoodie on stage with bajillion degree lights pointing at you. He complained that it was as hot as lava. They played really well though, even if they were sweating to death in their black jackets. They played a cover of "Don't Stop Believing" which was awesome.
Blink-182 was as good as I expected them to be. They played all the hits and a few non-hits that should've been hits. The juvenile humor will never stop being funny (Tom DeLong dedicated "All the Small Things" to his penis"). It was great. It was everything I wanted it to be.
Flogging Molly was amazing! I don't know what I was expecting but I wasn't expecting them to be that awesome! They were everything that I wanted Dropkick Murphys to be (no offense to Dropkick Murphys, I still blame the crappy sound at crappy Soma). They rocked out non-stop for an hour and a half. I'm a little disappointed that they didn't play "Queen Anne's Revenge" but "7 Drunken Pirates" made up for it. I'd never seen people crowd surfing to Irish music before. I've also never seen anyone drink so much on stage. I'm not sure how someone can drink that much and not fall off the stage. They're definitely really, really Irish. Apparently they're huge in Arizona. They play in Phoenix on St. Patrick's Day every year.
Social Distortion was also great. I don't think I have enough tattoos or smoke enough cigarettes to be a real Social D fan though. We were definitely in the minority with the Social D crowd. By the time they were done, I felt like I'd licked an ashtray *cough* *wheeze* *gag* The music was awesome though and I knew almost every song. I still can't figure out why I've never gone out and bought any of their albums. Must be the tattoo/smoking thing. Mike Ness said we didn't have to go to work today but I decided against staying home, sleeping in, watching cartoons and eating sugary cereal like he recommended. As good as cartoons and cocoa puffs sounded, I don't think that "Mike Ness said I didn't have to work today" would be accepted as a valid excuse.
Anyway, it's back to work, reality and unpacking. Hopefully we'll be all unpacked by this weekend, because it's getting old. I miss my workouts.
