Easter, La Roux, and Denver

So, it's been a while since I've blogged. I've been preoccupied with my job situation. I found out today that I'm going to be laid off at the end of the month, which came as no surprise since the company's been downsizing over the past couple of months. Anyway, here are a couple of pics from my visit to Denver...

This first pic is from Estes Park (in the mountains). This is the Stanley Hotel, where Stephen King was inspired to write The Shining

This elk slowed down traffic as we were leaving Estes Park. There were elk everywhere... even on the city streets!
This was a hotel bar in downtown Denver. I think it was called Lattitude, or something clever like that. With Tyler, and our friends Michael and James.

Here I am in the mountains. It was so beautiful and the weather was perfect for climbing on rocks.

Fast forward a couple of weeks to Easter... I've been obsessed with a new band called La Roux (the red-haired one). They're very 80's inspired electro-pop artists. Think Yaz, Eurythmics, Prince all rolled into one band. They haven't even released their first album yet, and have only released singles in the UK so far. I was able to get us tickets for a show last night at the Roxy, and it was fantastic. Tyler says her hair reminds him of how I used to wear mine. Although mine was more vertical and less in my face. But, I digress. Here's a photo, followed by her most recent video:

Spring Break!

Yay! Four day vacation! This weekend, Tyler and I are flying to Denver to visit some friends. Actually, they live in Boulder...actually, they live in Lafayette, which is between Boulder and Denver. Whatevs, I get 4 days off work and that's most important. It's supposed to be in the 70's this weekend, so I don't have to worry about snow. We're going to do some sight-seeing, bar hopping, hot tubbing, sleep... er... sleeping. Hope everyone else has as good of a weekend as I'm planning on having!
