GO GOR! GO HOVER!!!!! I'm so psyched that these two CDs are nominated because I think that they both deserve it so much. I've been hearing so much hype about the Hover CD. People love it. I think everyone that worked on it really did a fantastic job.

So I decided to go to LA for the Awards show. I can't miss it. I just booked my ticket... and then rebooked it when I realized I had the wrong dates. By the way, People in DC and NY, DEFINITELY fly JetBlue to LA from now on... same goes the other way around. I'm flying at peak travel time... the Tuesday of Thanksgiving and the roundtrip ticket still comes to $250. Then when I had to change the ticket, it only cost me $25+ the difference of the ticket, which was $10. Big deal. I asked the girl on the phone why their tickets are so cheap and she started laughing. She very humbly said that they simply don't jack up the prices like normal airlines. Then I asked her if they have frequent flyer miles because I plan on racking them up. LA people, start getting used to my visits because I think there might be a lot of them. Normal travel time flights are usually $198 roundtrip (plus taxes n such) from DC-LA-DC. I know I'm unemployed, but bring it on!

So the exciting news around here is the nominations. A trip out to LA might be what I need to break from this cold and dreary atmosphere. Everyone seems to be down in the dumps everywhere I look. But I am getting new red couches in my apartment as we speak, so that should brighten my day.

News... the elections are all I hear about. Mitt Romney got elected for Gov. of Massachusetts. Personally, I was rooting for the Green Party because I think both the Democratic and Republican candidates were the worst I've seen in a while. Watching one of the debate, I thought I was watching two little kids fighting... One said, "let's both stop with the negative campaigns," and the other said "You started it first." I only wish this was an exaggeration, but those exact words came out of our new governor's mouth.

I've been getting a lot of news lately about System of a Down, Atom Egoyan, etc. receiving awards, doing radio interviews, getting press in general. That's VERY exciting. Other than that, life is a snoozer. Still unemployed, but that's okay, because it seems the rest of the US is joining me... it's becoming a trend!
