Fighting ye ol' hippie freak-out wrt law school. Blah blah blah, putting it down is too boring for words so I won't waste them. Finals are in a month and I keep on telling myself that I am hella smart enough for this and that even if I'm not applying myself as much as I should that it's not panic time yet. You know, I'm really wise and should listen to myself. I should also study more. None of this is helped by the fact that I'm in the midst of the Monthly Mood Swing (if you know what I mean) but I have dark chocolate M&Ms to help with that particular problem. I might end up missing two days of class this week (today and tomorrow) but it'll all work out. Of course it will.

OK then, enough of that. Saw Old Crow Medicine Show in Detroit Saturday past. They were great but I think I'm getting too old for general admission, standing room only venues. By the second set people started pressing in on all sides and I had to escape the throng or freak out. However, by escaping the throng I got to lean against the wall and watch a bunch of people dance which was really cool. And I got a t-shirt. They misspelled 'Detroit' but it lists a future show in Lawrence, KS so now I have a shirt that has Lawrence, KS on it which more then makes up for any other typos.

Went to the show with my brothers and their housemates and random friends and before hand we went to Mexicantown to have dinner at a great restaurant. As we were paying a photo on the wall caught my eye and I was all, "OMG, I think that's Edward James Olmos!" and I called the Wrestler over and pointed it out to him and he was all, "Buh?" I prompted him with a, "You know, Admiral Adama." and he still shrugged at me. Apparently only my fellow fangirls are excited about the things that excite me. But, still, Edward James Olmos ate in a restaurant that I ate in! You know, that was a pretty good day for fannish connections. The only disappointment was that Old Crow didn't play 'We're All In This Together' (a song I used on my plague!Apocalypse mix) because that would've made the day freaking perfect. Oh! Before I forget, we saw a poster for a group called 'Lez Zeppelin' an all female Led Zeppelin cover band. I can just imagine Dean's reaction to that.

Dean: *punches Sam in arm* Dude! Look at that!
Sam: Just what the world needs, another Led Zeppelin cover band.
Dean: But it's an all chick cover band. That's just ... *glazes over*
Sam: I hate to break it to you, man, but you do realize that they're probably lesbians.
Dean: Yeah, that's what makes it even hotter.
Sam: *rolls eyes*

In summation, fandom makes everything more interesting and the 'normals' out there don't know what they're missing.

I feel like I should have something profound to say in closing but, you know, I'm not feeling particularly verbose or anything like that. So I'll leave you with a word of warning. Apparently running a microwave and a toaster oven off of the same plug at the same time will blow a fuse and then you'll spend too much time trying to figure out which one it was because the fuse box is poorly labeled and you'll end up warming up your crappy left-overs on the stove anyway. Knowledge is power, ya'll. ;-)

You are very, very smart and capable of both applying yourself and kicking the ass of law school. *snuggles*

That whole Lez Zeppelin dialogue snippet? Nearly wet myself.

Love you!

Sorry they didn't play "Together". But ain't they grand? I love those fellers. "Together" has been added to my "West Virginia" soundtrack.

They are pretty freaking awesome. Great show all around and very engaging on stage.

Hmmm, suddenly have the need to turn on some bluegrass.
