I wonder if everyone's seen Elton and Billy ;)

One of her shows was televised in 2001 and it was awesome :)

I've never seen Elton or Billy. Two guys I would LOVE to see in the flesh (you know what I mean).

I hope you have a blast!

I've heard Madonna puts on an amazing show. Not really a fan of her music, but I have to say, seeing her in person would definitely be an experience.

I wonder if I was at the TMBG show you saw. Did you see them at BU? That was a great show when they were there.

That's awesome! I can't wait to hear (read) all about it.

From your list, I've seen U2 this past May in Boston and Sting Sept. 2003 - which was really cool since it was a small, intimate venue and we were very close to the stage...and it was in Paris! It was defnitely a highlight of the trip and one of my favorite concerts.

Forgot to mention I saw U2 at the Garden this past October and got lots of pics. Go to my webshots page for the pics.

You might have to copy and paste, sorry, it's late and I need sleep. I wonder who gives a better show?

Oh, and New Kids on the Block. Heh.

I've NEVER seen Billy Joel, but I would love too.

The band I saw that was at least as bad as Tiffany was Lisa Lisa.

The best concert I ever saw was Eric Clapton.

Have fun!

Lisa Lisa and the Cult Jam! All right!

"Ooh baby, I think I love ya/From head to toe..." I remember that one.

I've seen Billy, Elton, and Tori. From the looks of it, you'd think I have a tasteful CD collection. But it's tainted with two Backstreet Boys CDs, Debbie Gibson's greatest hits, and tons of eighties compilations.

Bearette said…
'80s compilations are definitely not a taint ;)

She was good! I think it may have been better with the whole Fleetwood Mac, but I can't complain.

Vegetable personalities

At the risk that you'll all think I'm nuts...but heck. I was getting cauliflower ready for dinner and it occurred to me that vegetables have different personalities. In my mind, anyway. Zucchini: the most agreeable of vegetables. It blends in with everyone, but it's never obsequious or false to itself. Sweet potatoes: the grandmother of vegetables. Very cozy and welcoming. Cauliflower: kind of bland, devoid of personality, but it could surprise you sometimes. Like a dull guy who occasionally tells a funny joke at the water cooler. Broccoli: feisty. Like a terrier. Spinach: kind of dour, but a loyal friend. Kale: has a fierce sense of individuality, but like spinach, is a loyal friend. Kale's affections last for life. Corn: this one is kind of a party animal. Corn is still drinking beer and making a mess when you'd like to be closing up. Tomatoes: a little sloppy. The kind of vegetable that needs to be reminded to tuck its shirt into its pants. Cabbage: not invited t...

happy birthday e!

[Posted by Bearette's husband until she has Internet access] e was born today! 8 pounds even, a cute and healthy baby boy. He likes to stick out his tongue just a little, and move his mouth around. The hospital gave him a little white hat with a purple pom pom. Bearette is tired but happy. Pictures soon.

Eventful

A lot has happened today already. I went to meet D for lunch and along the way I spotted a Boston terrier -- one blue eye, one brown. I stooped to pat it and then I heard an ear-bruising screech!! Everyone's head whipped around. Even the dog jumped. A taxi had squealed to a halt and there was a delivery boy on its hood. Somebody yelled, "Call an ambulance!" The boy seemed fine, even hopping on his bike to finish his deliveries -- but everyone persuaded him to stay. I took out my cell phone but another woman was already giving details to 911. After the woman finished the call, I was satisfied that help was on its way, so I continued. There were a bunch of rubberneckers/supporters gathered around the boy, so he wasn't alone. The dog stayed too. I was shaken by this, of course, but then something amusing happened. A few blocks later, I knelt down to pat a beagle tied outside a coffee shop, and it let loose with this big mournful howl: AROOOO. Everyone smiled, including a...
