i can't be invisible. but i can kick your ass.

another great weekend... with fantastic news!  i've been a bit bummed out that i'll be missing halloween this year due to a wedding.  but then, just this weekend i got invited to a superhero birthday party in june for my friend tim!  could it be any better?

the plan is to head to tim's apartment in allston, then head out to the bars, and then back to tim's for more fun...dancing...cake eating.  i've already started gathering the pieces to my costume, but i'm sure you all know who i'm dressing as: 

i'll need this:

perhaps these:

i'm most excited about this:

all so i can be..........

hit girl!  I even recruited a big daddy!

it was perfect.

wow.  last night. the jonsi show.  it was perfect. 

all i could think was the 30,000 people at fenway were facing the wrong way. 

sometimes it takes something very simple and clear to show you that the beautiful/stupid/pretty/odd/ugly/heartache/heartbreak/giggles/hugs/fights/kisses/anger/hurt/sad/happy/love/tears were all worth it and over and everything that happens is from now on. 

your feathers are tattered and furled.

oh, my talking bird

though you know so few words

they're on infinite repeat

like your brain can't keep up with your beak

and you're kept in an open cage

so you're free to leave or stay

sometimes you get confused

like there's a hint i'm trying to give you

the longer you think, the less you know what to do

it's hard to see your way out

when you live in a house...in a house

cause you don't realize

the windows were open the whole time

oh, my talking bird

though your feathers are tattered and furled

i'll love you all your days

til the breath leaves your delicate frame

it's all here for you as long as you choose to stay

it's all here for you as long as you don't fly away.

irish magical thinking.

here's some random bits:

we have water back! after 3 days of boiling water, brushing my teeth with gatorade, taking doodoo showers and fearing zombie outbreaks... we got water back yesterday and i am happily sippin' an iced coffee right this second!

I discovered this, the schedule for the lost finale. i'm a lost fan but this seems excessive and slightly ridiculous, no?:

"FYI, here's the remaining "Lost" schedule: After tonight's episode, which is about Jack deciding whether or not to trust Locke, we will have two more new episodes, on May 11 and 18. Then, the five-hour event on May 23 will include a two-hour recap, a two-hour finale, and (after the news) a one-hour post-finale special hosted by major "Lost" fan Jimmy Kimmel."

i mean, really? 5 hours? gross. (i'll be watching.)
*****UPDATE: it's been extended to 5 1/2 hours.  hooray?!*****

did you see conan's interview on 60 minutes? it was sweet. and sad. i dare you to say "meh, who cares, he walked away with $34 million." come on. it was his DREAM to host the tonight show. think about it like this - if you love someone truly and they dump you on your ass but hand you $20 on their way out the door... does it make the break-up simple and painless?

tomorrow night: i will be seeing this man. jonsi. house of blues.  i might cry from excitement.  or i might just get a beer and enjoy it.  we'll see.

iloveyou!

followed the sun til night.

it is beeea-you-tiful outside.  makes me excited! have a great day -

just some pretty photos today.  of things i want. muah!

a rooftop kiss

a new york kiss...

a kiss in my jammies...

a dreamy, underwater kiss...

a kiss from someone who i give the butterflies... and who gives me the butterflies!

...and a kiss from someone who won't let me go.

i'm like the ringleader, i call the shots.

about a month ago i went to the circus.  it's in town, a tent is set up in government center and the big apple circus puts on 2 shows a day.  i decided to get tickets... because why not?!  i got popcorn and a sno-cone and even my very own red clown nose.  the theme of the circus was "bello's back."  bello is the ringmaster(?) of the circus.  he's a goofy dude who does some cool tricks.  and he looks like this:

i get it - he's silly looking and the kids love it.  i didn't think a whole lot about his hair situation - it's ridiculous and most likely a wig/hat hybrid that can be removed after each show.  right?  welp, then this happened.  last  night i saw bello! in public. with his friends.  he had regular human man clothes on.  well, tara, how did you know it was bello?  umm because he had that hair.  could that possibly be real?  because if it's fake, why would you go out on an 80+ degree evening, amongst adults wearing that thing.  i can't believe women would be into that... except maybe jenna on 30 rock.  so perhaps that's his real hair.  wow.  that's a committment to circus life. amen bello.
