La dee dah Lah dee dah dah dah dah
The Decemberists concert was so awesome last night! We got there about 10 after eight. We were late because I started my period on the way down there and had to stop at some nasty gas station. Ugh. Luckily I had some pads in my purse. Haha. And luckily I was wearing a loooong tunic top. But I was also wearing my most tight and uncomfortable jeans...ehhh. I went shopping yesterday and tried to find a cute top to wear since my Threadless order still didn't come. I guess it was because of my period that I couldn't decide on anything. I didn't feel like wasting $20 or so on a top I'd probably wear once...so instead I got this gorgeous pair of flats at Kohls. So anyways we had really great seats. The other shows I've went to at the Tennessee my seats had always been on the floor. I got front row balcony seats this time and I actually think I prefer sitting up there because you've got an unobstructed view and you don't have to worry about some seven foot asshole standing up in front of you the whole time. Which is usually what happens,right? Hehe. The opening band was My Brightest Diamond. Ehhh,I didn't like them at all. They reminded me a lot of Evanescence. The girl had an opera-ish voice and she was one of those annoying singers who is like constantly whispering or screaming...you know what I mean? The guitarist was pretty great though. The Decemberists came on and played this wierd chanting intro for what seemed like an hour and then the band came out. Colin Meloy is actually way more good looking in person. Hee. :D The highlights were "July! July!" , "O Valencia!" , "Sixteen Military Wives" , and "Yankee Bayonet (I will be home then)". The girl from My Brightest Diamond sang the girl vocals on "Yankee Bayonet" and she started out all whispery and annoying but it was still pretty great. That's one of my favorite songs. :) It felt like their set flew by it actually lasted about ninety minutes. The best part though was the encore. "The Mariner's Revenge Song" which I am pretty sure I hadn't heard before. The whole crowd was swaying and clapping and they had everyone scream like they were being eaten by a whale. They had someone come out in a joint whale costume and "eat" the band. They were falling around and playing dead and it was just so much fun. Everyone was way into it. If I find a setlist,I will post it. Oh yeah,did I mention I took Noah to this show? He loves the band...hehe. Seriously. :D I am so glad someone is inheriting my taste in music. And he had so much fun too. Am I the most awesome aunt ever or what? I'm so happy to be able to turn him onto good music and going to shows. I wish someone had done this for me when I was a kid! Well my sister took me to shows...but not until I was like fifteen and asked her to. Haha. No one else I know enjoys or even wants to go. Ugh. But Noah is awesome and I definately don't mind taking him. :)
Yay! This is gonna be such a good month. Even if I only get to see the Decemberists and MCR. I'm not sure about Neko Case...if I can make it all,I am going to go. Damn being broke! Grrrrrr. And then I'm seeing Cake on the 27th. Maybe something else will come up too. :D
Mom dropped me off at Mamaw's on her way to work this morning and I hung out all day there. My sister offered to take me to try to get my liscence. But I haven't studied the book AT ALL so I figured it would have been a waste of time. I got home about seven and tried to sort through my mail drawer. I've got SOOOOO much mail to reply to. I have really let it pile up over the past month or so. I guess it is because money is so tight that I can't afford stamps and I've lost the motivation. I don't like to write letters and have to wait weeks or months to send them. Once I get a more steady income,I can get back in the swing of things. I've also lost interest in decos because my printer has no ink and I can't do labels or pictures to use in decos. Plus I've been so depressed and nervous. I don't know why exactly but ever since that one Saturday a few weeks ago when I made that long ass whiny post in here,something changed in me. I am sad and nervous and distracted and jittery and bored like all the time. I can't concentrate on anything. After that I took a bath and sat in front of the TV for three hours watching the comedy shows on NBC. Played with Pixie a bit and cleaned out the hamster cages too. Yuck. I didn't clean them out last week (and I NEVER skip a week...) so they were really stinky today.
