Pars and Madonna
Today I met a charming cat called Pars. We called her that because she emerged from the sidewalk dining area of a restaurant called Pars. Anyway, Pars wound herself all around me, then slid under my bottom and emerged on the other side! What a limber kitty.
I read an MSN article about Madonna's new tour which basically gave away all the details of her first concert on the tour. Hopefully I'll forget all the details by the time I see her in July. Anyway, I know that she'll sing 9/12 of the songs on her new album, but will also sing songs from her other 9 CDs; there will be at least two political references; and at one point, she will emerge from a diamond-studded disco ball. Apparently the diamonds cost $3 million and the article speculated, "Perhaps that's why tickets to her concert cost as much as $350." We didn't pay that much, but we did get good seats: one level up from the floor, facing the stage. I can't wait...
P.S. Let me know if you've read anything you really liked lately. I have some blank spots on my library hold list.
P.S. 2: I also met a pug who seemed like a puppy, though he was four years old. He kissed me all over the face :)

Now reading: Sweet and Low, (about the family that invented Sweet & Low) and Jacqelyn Mitchard's Cage of Stars.
Also, McCafferty's Sloppy Firsts. More of a YA book, but entertaining nonetheless!
ZS - My knowledge of the Stones is practically nil, at least in terms of ticket sales...but both Madge and the Stones sell out. We didn't pay $350, thank god. Then again someone offered my husband $200 for da vinci code tickets, and that's just a movie! so i'm sure ppl are willing to pay $350 for madonna.
Elsa - I read those, good taste ;)
VK - I remember you mentioned that one on your blog - I'll have to check it out.
Thanks guys, I will probably do this periodically.
I went to the library today and my copy of the new Anne Tyler was in! (Digging to America). I'm so glad I have a 3-day weekend coming up...
BTW, let me know how you like Digging in America. I was thinking of picking that book for our book club.
