again with the neglecting!

once again i have been a bad blogger, blogee, blogette (whatever) and let more than a week pass since updating all of my eager readers on my ever fabulous life. a lot has happened and i will make this short and sweet!

first of all, i have found and fallen in love with another blog. being the highly self-proclaimed Texas Country fan that i am, it is always fun to read other peoples' thoughts on the "scene". Rita Ballou keeps it real & i must say has become my blogging hero! read her "Rawhide & Velvet" daily...you will guarantee yourself a laugh at least once.

Ritia, if by some chance you read this...we should be best friends, just sayin'!

secondly, things with TCM are going amazingly well! last friday i had the chance to sit down with one of my favorite texas artist for an interview. it was none other than Mr. Brandon Rhyder! his new CD "Head Above Water" came out a few weeks ago and he was in College Station promoting it with a show at Hurricane Harry's. the interview was a huge step for my music journalism career and it was incredibly wonderful meeting him. BR is quite honestly one of the nicest men i have ever met and very sincere and passionate about his music! check out my story on TCM and look for more profiles coming soon!

here are some exciting photos from the experience:

just enjoyin' the show! we loveee BRhyder!

thanks BR for an amazing show!

on another subject, this week as been absolute HELL as i prepare for leave for my two week internship at the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo. (which i am beyond excited about starting!) it just seems like everything i have due, basically all semester, was due this week or will be due next week. i've been stressed to the max trying to get everything done and in on time while also washing everything i own, stocking up on new goodies, and packing my entire life into a suitcase. i am happy to report that all is ready to go (minus the packing, i am still in the process of that) and i will be leaving in the morning, RodeoHouston bound!

tonight is my sororities formal, Monmouth. i am pretty pumped about it mainly because it's casino themed, and although we won't actually win money i will be able to feed my need to gamble...i hope.

to quote my favorite movie, the hangover:

"you guys ready to let the dogs out? you know, who let the dogs out...who, who..."
