I need to buy a pumpkin

So Muse was fantastic. Chris and Nathan drove to my house and we took the lightrail up to Target Center from there. It turns out they had already eaten so we stopped at Jimmy Johns so I could get a sandwich and waited for Jeremy and Kyle. They arrived, we went in and found our seats, and then the opening band played (Passion Pit). They were decent - the lead singer sounds like a girl in my opinion - not that that's bad, just an observation (the lead singer is male btw). They got off, and then we all had to wait like 30 minutes for Muse to come on. Seriously, the crowd got so bored we started doing the wave... at a concert... wtf? After that went around a couple of times they finally turned the lights off and started. Had a great entrance - these building looking things just dropped the sheets covering them to reveal Muse playing in the middle. It was crazy! They opened really strong - Uprising, Knights of Cydonia, Supermassive Black Hole, and Hysteria were all played right away. They were great live too - not that it's a surprise but you just never know. It was different enough from the CD that you know they weren't lip syncing but still really good. So the concert was great, but eventually it had to end. When it did we all had to wait in a ridiculously long line to buy lightrail tickets which meant we missed the train and had a half hour wait for the next one. So the boys got hungry and decided to stop in the small pizza place across from the station. Cardboard-looking and tasting pizza was purchased (along with a drink for me) and awkwardness took place inside the shop (owners trying to throw some teenagers out... yea). Eventually got on the train and home. Was a good night.

On Wednesday around 6pm Vicki and I met at DQ and picked up an ice cream cake for Sybylla for her birthday and then delivered it to her house. She was completely surprised (she claims not to have been but she totally was). We interrupted her making dinner, but made her dive into the cake so we could have a piece as well. Stayed for about an hour but then had to let her get back to dinner.

Thursday I went back to Sybylla's house after work and watched her finish making another birthday cake. It was delicious cake but the frosting was less than fantastic. We hung out for awhile but then I went home.

Friday was a whole lot of nothing. People wanted me to go out and do stuff and I was like, no. Instead hung out with Nathan for awhile and accomplished nothing.

Saturday I was supposed to go in to work for an hour but my coworker went in earlier and did it herself. So I did nothing all day until later that night when I went out to see Wallstreet 2 with a friend. It was okay, I guess I was expecting a bit more action, not to mention Shia LaBeouf just seems too young to be playing an adult role. Apparently it's better if you've seen the first one, which makes sense. All I keep seeing is Louis Stevens from the old Disney channel show. Good times.

Sunday was a lot more nothing, other than discovering that my roommate cooked and ate my cinnamon rolls. Grrr. Also discovering that USA was playing all three Pirates of the Caribbean movies in a row... curse you television! Of course I "watched" all three...

Monday went in to work for about an hour (it was Columbus Day!) and then went down to the Mall of America to meet up with mom. She just drove Sara back up to the U and we met there for some tasty lunch at Arby's. I also went to Best Buy and bought 2 Muse CD's (Absolution and Black Holes and Revelations). Afterwards I had to drive Sara's cell phone (which she left in mom's car) up to her at the U and then back home for some quality time with my room. Went for a walk somewhere in there - was gorgeous outside. The whole weekend was in fact. Last October was all rain and (yes, believe it, I was walking to work through it) snow. This October has been beautiful so far! Of course I probably just jinxed it, but oh well.

Today I woke up, came in to work, dosed 17 animals, wondered where my coworker is (still wondering in fact), updated my blog, and will now be departing to try to find my coworker/s.
