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?

Of those on your list, I've seen Billy, Indigo Girls (three times), and They Might Be Giants.

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...

Eat, knit and be happy

So I went to knitting class today. It was a lot of fun. The knitting cafe was buried deep in the Village, further south than I tend to go, but I found it after a little bit of exploring. The cafe itself was just adorable. Their motto is the title of this post. There was a counter where they sold brownies, tea and other goodies (my attention was caught and held by the nice, thick, chocolatey brownies). Two other women showed up for the class. One of them just got a part in a student-written play (she was maybe in her 40s) and had to knit in a scene while arguing with her husband. She wanted to be able to knit convincingly. The instructor commended her for this, noting that often in the movies when people are supposed to be knitting, they're not doing it right and it takes her out of the story ;) Knitting is surprisingly easy if someone teaches you live. As the teacher put it, "Everyone walks out a knitter." I had my doubts at first, because the Internet instructions weren...

All right, I'm just going to spit it out. My news = I'm pregnant. 12 weeks today. Made it through the first trimester, some scary genetic testing, and now I just have my Down test to get through. If that goes well (it's a two-part test that takes a few weeks), I think I can finally relax. My odds are low. The test was optional so I seriously considered not taking it, but every single person whose advice I sought said she would take it, so I'll do it. It's funny, I watched Rosemary's Baby last night (I've seen it before, but now I'm watching it with new eyes) and I couldn't help spotting all the infractions. She drank a shake with raw egg every day, drank some champagne when she got pregnant, and her husband smoked Pall Malls around her. I guess there are tradeoffs. My mother's pregnancies sound entirely more relaxed than mine -- she smoked*, drank* (in moderation) and she didn't know what listeria* was. In other words, she could eat as much f...
