Back To School!

I have been god-awful with updating this thing. I forget about it even though the link to this blog is right there, clearly displayed on my favorite links bar. I am officially lame and lazy. *sigh*

Anyways, summer was pretty awesome. There were a few rocky issues, the latest one being between my father and my boyfriend. That is almost settled so it really isn't a big deal. All of the other stuff was drama that didn't involve me directly but fairly close...

I attended my first BUMBERSHOOT this past weekend which was really quite a strange experience. Yeah. I saw All-American Rejects (leader singer is a douche, left after three songs), OS Mutantes (AMAZING Brazilian 60's rock group), The Black Eyed Peas (despite their technical issues, put on a totally solid show), Franz Ferdinand (way intense, loved it) and a bit of Modest Mouse (kind of a blur, left at the beginning because we were super hungry). There were other groups that we caught bits of while wandering around including a group called Massey Ferguson which reminded me a bit of Rascal Flatts. The artist booths were kinda neat to check out. I found two paintings that I really want to buy at some point if at all possible. The first one is here http://www.impsandmonsters.com/tributes.html and it is The Mad Tea Party. There is something about the way that it is painted that makes me super happy. The other one is also from the same artist and is http://www.impsandmonsters.com/imps1.html. It is title Reunion and is just bursting of adorable happiness.

Otherwise I am thinking about apartments and getting a job close to school... but it doesn't look like even a remote option at the moment. I want to though. It would be nice though to be on my own and learning to live as an independent adult finally. We shall see what happens once this school term is over. Right now I am hanging in the computer lab waiting for my Profiles of Disease class to start. I have a full class schedule again with 18 credits, but I can handle it no problem.

P.S.: So why Madi Bo? Well.. I was sitting here trying to figure out what my pen name ought to be for this site. I was looking at my facebook and started to sing a little song that my friend would to me during rehearsals for our high school production of Fiddler on the Roof. "Madi-bo-baddie... Oooo Madi, you a baddie". And it hit me. Madi Bo. Genius. I think.
