One question I get a lot is "how do you find new music?" There are SO many ways in which I discover new songs and band,s but I want to tell you one of my favorite ways to discover new music and share a funny story about the band I re-discovered this week. Every Tuesday, I get really excited as I drive to the office. Why? It's new music Tuesday! This is the big day when all the bands release their new CD's/Albums/Singles/whatever-you-want-to-call-them. I remember the time when I would go to the local record store (or, let's be honest, the local Best Buy) each week ...
BlogFrog Ladies
I haven't written about BlogFrog on here since I started, but if you follow me on Twitter, you have seen the countless tweets about #blogfrogbuddies or #overheardatblogfrog and more where I am just gushing about what a great team we have here. Here is proof of some of the amazing women I work with, taken at Brianne's reception last week: Aren't we adorable and fun? I think so! Also, did I mention that BlogFrog is hiring? Check out all of the great positions we have available. You can't say you wouldn't want to work with such a fun crowd!
That post in which I declare I will start working out
Except that it has now been 11 weeks of working out! Proof here: Instead of writing about this way back when I started Pilates, I waited. Mainly because I had people like LeVar and my mom who didn't think I would commit and continue. To be fair to them both, there is a lot that I start and don't finish. Blogs. Movies. Knitting Projects. Books. Working Out. The list is long, but I am proud to say that this blog isn't going by the wayside, and neither is Pilates! I am attributing my love of Pilates on a few factors: The teachers there are amazing! Most of my lessons ...
Rocket Summer – Take Two!
Remember that time that I was an idiot and locked my purse in my new car with my ID, credit cards and, of course, the spare car keys? Yeah, that was a fun December night. That was the same night that The Heyday had a show at Marquis Theatre opening for Rocket Summer. I somehow made it out of my car with the tickets to the show (thank god) and my camera (I had a photo pass). After a quick call to USAA, I had a locksmith on order, to show up in about an hour and a half. Since I had time to kill, and ...
My Brother is Awesome
I just have to share this with everyone, because I think it's awesome. Stefan covers the Deadmau5 remix of Foo Fighters Rope on drums: Try and tell me that he is not talented. </bragging>
FoCoMX 2012 – Monika’s Schedule
I've been both attending and volunteering for FoCoMX for the past 3 years Here are just a few videos from FoCoMX that I have taken over the past few years. I know I have many more, but sometimes I get overwhelmed with the number of photos and videos I take, so I will try to add more over the coming days. There are so many bands participating this year, it has been really hard for me to come up with a schedule. Below is round one of my tentative schedule for the weekend. I know it is lofty as many of the bands play at the same time, ...
It’s that time of year…
No, not Spring, or even Baseball season, it's time for me to become a blonde once again. It's been a good 6 months since I did this: It's time to go back to this! Now, the problem is, what shade of blonde do I go? I've started a pinboard of ideas, but want your opinion! How blonde do I go?
Social Queen
No, I am not talking about myself here. Aimee shared this video with me early, and I cannot get over how creative it is, and how I relate to it (with the social networks at least). I haven't really paid attention to the movie/trailer for Mirror Mirror at all, but this video definite piques my interest! Plus, this video showcases my exact frustrations with Skype! (Stupid Snow White, I mean spammers). Does this make you want to see Mirror Mirror?
My time spent in Gmail has doubled
And not for a good reason! Who knew that such a 'small' change would alter the amount of time I spend waiting for Gmail to load. Can you see the difference between these 2 screen shots below? It is a very slight change... Did you figure it out? Yeah, it took me a minute too. They changed the Gmail icon in the top left corner into a Google logo. "So what," you say? Well, that also changes where you are linked to. For the past few years (hard to tell how long it has existed there) you could click on the Gmail and be taken to your inbox. Now? ...
Grammys – Stop Treating Us Like We Do Not Matter!
I am fortunate to live in such a great state. I am even more fortunate to be visiting my Grama in Arizona this weekend! However, the Grammys have decided to treat us all, in the Mountain Time Zone (edit: and Pacific Time Zone), as people who do not matter. Why? Because we are the ONLY time zone(s) that does not get to see the Grammys performed live! Why does this matter? In case you didn't realize, it is 2012. If you are 27 minutes late with the news, you are old school. Add another 33 minutes on to that? Chopped liver. So, why do the Grammys insist ...
