Night time is the write time
Once again, I have a sudden desire to update when I should be sleeping. I also did have only a mere 4 hours of sleep the night prior, which I think was the same case during my last entry here. Strange, eh? I guess I have my energy late at night rather than the morning, day or early evening. I should work night job. I'd probably function a lot more efficiently than I do in the mornings, and I'd probably act like less of an asshole.
Jimmy Eat World rocked the Kool Haus on Sunday night. I went to the show by myself since no one I know is a die hard fan of the band. I can't complain. I had fun regardless as the only person in attendance with a mohawk. hehe.
The band kicked things off with a kicker in Bleed American, which got everyone going. Their entire set had a good mixture of everything from Clarity to Invented. The band was tight and clearly having a great time. I didn't like Invented, but the songs they played from that album were the better ones. I may even appreciate the album more after hearing some of the songs live. Highlights included: the aforementioned Bleed American, Your New Aesthetic, Work, Pain Futures, 27 & Goodbye Sky Harbor. At the end of Goodbye Sky Harbor, Jim used a vocal loop pedal to duplicate his multiple vocal parts heard on the studio version, and it blew everyone's minds. Overall the sound during their set was surprisingly great for a Toronto show. I was impressed to hear the vocals clearly for a change.
Jim near the beginning of the set agreed to take a picture with a member of the crowd for someone's grandma who apparently loved the band. It was random and quite amusing, and also quite nice of him to do that.
The first band, We Were Promised Jetpacks played an inspired, energetic set. It's too bad they play the type of music that I'm not typically in to. They sounded pretty contemporary to me, incorporating clean sounding guitars and disco-esque rhythms. I did find my head bobbing during a few moments. Most of the crowd gave them a positive reception for an unknown band playing Toronto. Nice effort, but not my thing.
I don't think I'll be playing friend matchmaker again. The first and only time I've done so has led to ridiculous and unnecessary arguments. I feel responsible, and stuck in the middle somehow. It's not even worth getting into details. I should keep what little friends I have separate from now on. Contrast and variety of scenes is always good once in a while.
Halloween is approaching. I have no idea what to dress up as or if I even will dress up at all. I keep thinking of going as either The Green Hornet or Kato. I guess the excitement of the new Green Hornet coming out next year has infected my brain. It probably isn't realistic for me since wearing masks with my glasses would be a pain if possible at all.
Relieved that hockey season has begun again. The Leafs are playing a lot better, but the Canucks are playing a lot worse. What the fuck is going on here?
I have too many cds. I can't stop increasing my collection. It's stupid. People think it's stupid. People think I like to show off. I don't. I feel like a junkie.
I kind of like Twitter now.
