pumpkins on tour

 this week i saw an email saying the band smashing pumpkins are on tour this year. this includes a tour stop in st. paul, in early november. i will have to ask my college roommate if this is of interest, as this is who got me interested in their music. i have seen them twice in concert, three times if you count zwan, front-man billy corgan's other band. sounds like there is a new album out, and i am used to how concert tours are for promoting a new album. but of course i would want to hear more than just new music, as ones from 'mellon collie' interest me a lot. 

at work i wanted to see that things were caught up before leaving the shop, as i have a day off monday for  a dental appointment. i saw the text confirming it and responded to it, after my phone was done with the battery charging. it seems to work well to charge it at work, as i put in on a shelf in the back. trying to figure out weekend plans, i know a french movie is playing but the three theaters showing it aren't as close as i would prefer. i made it to hy-vee in eagan for my weekly grocery order and noticed some twinkies and cupcakes with a patriotic theme. guess it is a reminder of summer is upon us soon. i didn't buy any but i hope some are still there next week. still working on easter candy but it will be done soon. i got a bottle of hofbrau so now there are 3 beers waiting. later on i went on a walk and found 77 cents. the 'big bang theory' reruns were when amy and leonard attended a wedding together. howard and bernadette stay with his mom and she sounds like his mom when yelling. it was followed by the one where leonard and sheldon buy helium on the black market and then watch 'ernest goes to jail' with who they bought it from. amy's phone is hijacked by her friends because she is internet dating, a thing i didn't enjoy being depicted. but it is sadly realistic about how some friends act.
