BOOM!
Sunday morning Mike and I got up at 5AM. Yes, 5. A. M. Anyone who knows us knows that we aren’t morning people, so it had to be something good, right?
We wanted to see a building go boom. Granted it was a small one, but still. BOOM!
As per usual here in the city of we-keep-nothing-sacred-and-preserve-nothing-for-historical-value of Houston, someone was tired of the 1960′s era Compass Bank building on Post Oak so it got blown to bits so they can build something new and shiny. Not that the bank building was any sort of remarkable architecture or had any historical relevance, but its just typical Houston fashion to tear down the old for something new and improved. It’s one of the few things that really bothers me about the city.
Anyhoo, in true Ali and Mike fashion, we filmed the whole thing. I must say, it was pretty cool. We waited for 2 1/2 hours for it be over in seconds, but it was way awesome.
Also, I’m all caught up with Bones and it is officially my favorite show on TV right now. I’ve got my DVR set so I can watch it weekly in glorious high-def. Plus I own season 3. I’ll be getting the first two eventually. (Hello? Birthday gift ideas. )
Dancing with the Stars blows except for Lil Kim providing me and Mike with the greatest TV line ever- “I first saw this show when I was in prison.” That says a lot about our culture and why the world hates us, I think.
American Idol- my niece loves that show. Sarah needs to upload some video of her watching it. She gets down with her bad self just like her Nanny. Also, GO DANNY!
Concerts! Concert season is beginning to shape up nicely. So far, we have tickets to see Bruce Springsteen at Toyota Center. Which, of course, makes Mike giddy.
We also have tickets to see Chris Cornell at Warehouse Live. So awesome! It’s a small venue only holding about 1500 so it should be a great show.
House of Blues is also turning out some great little intimate shows. We are planning to see Live and Gavin Rossdale there. Eeeeeeeeeeeee!!! I love Live. That’s gonna be a dope show because that venue is SUPER small. It’s like having a stage in your house.
Also, congrats to miss Nancy Jundi. She just took a position as VP of Sales and Marketing for a new company. Way to go, momma!
Mike is gone on business for most of this week so I’m going to eat crappy take out and absorb as much trash tv as possible… which isn’t all that different than when he’s here! I just don’t get the quality commentary from the Mike Peanut Gallery (consisiting of Mike and Shea. Yes, he speaks as though the cat is speaking. Our home is special.)
Singing the lyrics to “Runaway” by Live/Shelby Lynne all day…

I love the video!!! still can’t believe that you woke up for that!!!
Madeline is hilarious when she’s watching American idol. I have video from it. it will get on here soon!!
I want to see LIVE and Gavin too!! I think we really want to go.
And I have to be honest…first time not watching Dancing with the stars. i just don’t care this year!
Building go BOOM!!!
That was really kick ass. When our stadium in Indy went Boom, I wish we would have filmed it.
I’m glad you like Bones. At first you don’t know if you will like it, but as the series keep going it gets more and more interesting. And besides, freakin’ Angel is on it. How cool is that?!
I’ve been to the House of Blues. You will love it. The stage is right there, and you surround it. It’s like a private show, but it’s not. It’s just really awesome and the atmosphere is fun!! I hope you guys have a blast
Oh, I have started watching Dancing With The Stars, because of what ‘lil Kim said. lol. How sad is that?!
I do not talk as if the cat could talk back, I just make sure she hears all the crazy things you do, say and watch on TV.
Awww, I got a shout out! Pecan Pie!
And I’m in desperate need of your interior design expertise for my office. It’s just such a sad little thing right now.
Additionally, I totally blame you for getting me into DWTS this year. Frankie’s pretty unhappy with you for that, too.
Looovoe you!
I <3 “Bones”! Next thing you’ll know you’ll be watching “NCIS” too. Spooky!
No, Ding. The next show on DVD is Soprano’s.
Final.
That was so cool… I totally would’ve gotten up for that, too! I know it was sad to watch a ‘historical’ building go bye-bye, but it must’ve been fun to watch! Mike did a great job with the video.

Chris Cornell, Live AND Gavin? Girl, so jealous. Have a great time at all of them!
Congrats to Nance… I know I’ve told her that already, but now I’ve officially ‘posted’ it.
Hope you’re enjoying your time to yourself and that you caught up on all your tv. I’m trying to do the same but it’s just not working. Nothing seems to hold my interest this year. Sadness, but maybe it’ll change a bit as the season goes on.
Love you! Have fun decorating!
