Oh Rooftop Concert Series Two!

It's June and that means it's time for another rooftop concert! Jill unfortunately had to miss out, but our dear, dear friend Melanie more than made up for our missing third roommate. Here's what you missed:

Performers: Timmy the Teeth, Desert Noises, and The Moth and the Flame
Favorite Part: People watching
Souvenir: Glow Sticks! (It was a challenge, but we managed to get a whopping three glow sticks)
Pictures:

MELANIE! She is so awesome, amazing sauce with a bag of chips. Yes, that is the description I'm using.

JULI! She's just as great as always.

Look at this precious picture of Juli and I.

Ignore the people and look at the mountains. It was beautiful outside that evening. The mountains looked so fantastic.

That brown monster thing was/is/and will always be a mystery to us. But no really, what are you?
After the concert, we enjoyed homemade popsicles (by yours truly if you care) and Sherlock Holmes (the first movie if you really want to know).




Oh park!

(whenever I say the title of this post in my head it sounds like I'm cursing. weird? maybe. anyone else?)

We are rebels. Rebels without a cause? No. Rebels without a clue of how to be rebels? Quite possibly.

It's spring/summer/not cold here, so we like to go outside, but even more specifically, we like to go to the park. There are three parks within walking distance of our little apartment and we love it. So this one time we went to the park and managed to break every rule they had (well I guess it was just the rules about the swings):



Hold onto chains with both hands
Standing on swings can cause injury; I'm also fairly sure it's an unspoken rule that adults are not supposed to use the baby swings either.
Stand clear of moving swings to avoid contact and possible injury


Don't do this—whatever this is.
 Have no fear, we also got off before we stopped swinging, pushed and twisted empty seat, had an epic battle while on the swings, almost fell off the swings, and almost injured ourselves several times. True some of those things are not actually real rules, but they should be.


*Update: I originally posted that I couldn't post this awesome video from the park because I would definitely die a horrible death. But I've been given permission, so enjoy:


 (Just so you know they thought I was taking a picture not recording them)

Oh sickness...

I'm here to apologize for our lack of updates, adventures, and lives for the past few weeks, we've been plagued by disease here at our apartment (and when I say we I mean Jill and Juli). Never fear we have a few things to tell you about in forthcoming posts.

I may be risking my life posting this picture, but it is an adequate representation of how my roommates felt.

We (still meaning Jill and Juli) are possibly getting sick again, so I will do my best to carry on our mission for awesome summer adventures, possibly by myself, or I will just start to video document my roommates' struggle to live 24/7. You may want to start hoping for their quick recovery, since I've recently discovered filming people (i.e. my friends and I) doing random things is incredibly boring.
