My Point Exactly

It Was Only A Week Ago ...

... that Jynx and I got inked in a parking lot as a band boy climbed fences to get to Chrissy.


Ace


Jynx


okay, it was a spray on ... fooled ya!


band boy who climbs fences ... who does he remind you of???

Only at Iona ...

... could a boy walk into the girl's bathroom and enter one of the stalls as I was exiting.

Did he not see the sign???


(not the actual sign but close enough)


- Ace out and about!

Two Albums for the Price of None!

If you think my post-card (yes I spelt it that way on purpose) idea was lame or you don't have a digital camera at hand, here's another Mother's Day project you can do if your mom loves unknown rock bands.

The Filthy Youth and Allegiance to the Fire have made their demos available for free on their MySpace Music profiles just in time for Mother's Day, so get those CD-Rs ready.

The Filthy Youth comes from the land of Princes William and Harry. If one of the singers in the band looks familiar, it's probably because he's the debonair, yet debauchery-loving Chuck Bass on Gossip Girl (Ed Westwick).

The band's sound has an Arctic Monkeys feel to it, as do some of their song titles: Come Flash All Your Ladies. (Oh so filthy!)

Allegiance to the Fire hails from the City of Angels.

The band is able to do what many LA bands do so well, blend different sounds and make it sound good. If their E.P. is any indication, they will have us all pledging allegiance to the fire pretty soon.

Here's how to get those free & legal tracks:

The Filthy Youth - Demo

MySpace



Fave Track: Boy Don't Smoke

Allegiance to the Fire - The Downtown LA Mental Ward E.P.

MySpace



Fave Track: Boy in My Head

{Sidenote: Why do my favorite tracks always have themes? Looks like I'm 'Boy' crazy this week.}

A Mother's Day Post-Card

You're a broke college student who's cramming for finals, and it's Mother's Day. What's one to do? Don't fret. Ace has got your back.

Here's the thing: Moms love you whether you're rich or poor. If the latter describes you, think creatively like me.

For this little project you'll need a pen, a digital camera, and a blog.

(1) Scrawl a Mother's Day greeting on your hand with a ballpoint.

(2) Take a picture of your hand.

(3) Post the pic on your blog.

Now you have a Mother's Day greeting for the whole world to see!!!



Now wasn't that easy?

Happy Mother's Day Mom!!!
