damnit...
i just officially had my ass handed to me in a game of poker. alex,james,carina,and i played for 2 hours. there were laughs aplenty and a good time was had by all. of course i did get eliminated about 3/4 the way through. i believe we are going to be establishing a weekly poker night. i had better get a job quick if i want to keep playing.
so the cure was sunday. i was so amazed at how great that show was. the rapture was fun and upbeat, i think i'll purchase one of their albums. and interpol...WOW. they couldn't have played a better 45 minute set. they put on an awesome show and are currently in heavy rotation in my cd player. as for the cure. for the first few minutes i was in awe, i just couldn't belive my eyes. i mean the cure...the band i've been listening to since i was a wee little tot. i actually had the privilege of seeing them live. it was so, so, amazing. the setlist was as follows:
01. Plainsong
02. Shake Dog Shake
03. The Figurehead
04. Alt.End
05. A Night Like This
06. The End Of The World
07. Charlotte Sometimes
08. Lovesong
09. Us Or Them
10. Siamese Twins
11. Closedown
12. Like Cockatoos
13. Before Three
14. From The Edge Of The Deep Green Sea
15. One Hundred Years
16. Disintegration
Encore
17. Pictures Of You
18. Lullaby
19. In Between Days
20. Just Like Heaven
21. Boys Don't Cry
just look at that encore...you can't beat that. one thing i did learn from this show was that i sure as hell need to get to listening to more of their material. i was familiar with about 1/4 of the show. but with a band that has 13 full length albums it didn't surprise me that i wasn't that familiar with the majority of what was played. they still put on a great performance and i had this uplifted feeling the entire time...kind of ironic seeing as how the cure's music is so damn gloomy. but robert smith was in a good mood and let all the fans know he was having a great day.
as for everything else going on in my life...i'm getting even more depressed being out of work. i hate that feeling i get when i wake up in the afternoon/evening and realize i have nothing to do. no obligations or responsibilities except for keeping the homestead tidy. i'm going to get back into my job hunt when fernando leaves. that should be fun. please note sarcasm. i'm not too happy about the fact i get paid friday, my final check, but have to buy a new tire for my car. that's just horseshit. just when i need to spend money wisely, i'm forced to throw it away on bullshit that of course wouldn't have occcured if i was still working. anyway. i need to stop complaining. i complain too much. at least i have two eyes,arms,legs,all senses in tact, and a roof over my head. i need to go to bed now. it's late as fuck and i have a whole day that needs to be slept away...
