So.. uh.. wow.
I don't post much, I know, maybe because I don't think much happens for me to post about. The last week though was chock full of post worthy incidents, so here are the few I'd like to read about a year down the road.
Friday was Coldplay, the most anticipated concert I've ever been to. I've seen a fair amount of large scale shows but never have I seen a band I've been so invested in. I'm not trying to flaunt any kind of Coldplay expertise but I've been a devout fan since Parachutes, knowing most of it by heart, no less. They played every song I /wanted/reasonably expected/ them too, and played the one song I can't stand (God put a smile). All the songs they played off of X and Y were brilliantly performed, lots of intensity, whereas the older stuff was a little more conventional. I guess playing the same songs for years tends to wear on you.
Saturday was the party, which imo was a complete success. Lots of people, lots of fun, little to no drama. It was great to see everyone, though as usual I was sort of all over the place, trying to talk to everyone at the same time and having no recollection of any conversation that lasted longer than 5 minutes. I hope no one felt slighted, it was definitely not my intention to overlook someone.
Sunday at work I found out I have a perfect record on cash, one of the few who does, so I got 20$ gift certificate at the Rideau centre. On my break I went out and bought Jarhead because I really wanted it but couldn't have afforded it otherwise. I watched it Tuesday night and remembered why I wanted to buy it so much, it's an awesome flic.
Finally, the most ... amusing thing I have to report is that I shaved my head. Like, very short. Not bald, but not far from it. I know it'll have its critics but hey, it's my head, right? And my mom likes it so that's what really matters :P
Anywho, the birthday boy's here so I'ma go give him his cool cool gift.
