Starting to be functional…
The show didn’t get started til 11:30 last night. Well, opening act came on around 10:40, probably, but since it was theoretically supposed to start at 10 (which was when the doors opened, rather than 9:30), well… this happened last time, too, so I wasn’t very surprised.
Holy cats. I gotta say, 25 pounds of weight loss (which is I think how much I’ve lost since the last YD concert up here) really makes a difference on the ol’ feet. I wore my granny boots (which FIT, which means my FEET have lost weight) and spent two hours jumping up and down on a concrete floor and my feet do not hurt today. I’m astounded.
The concert was great fun. The fiddle player is mad. Simply mad. There was a *tremendously* drunk Viking (dude. the guy was like 6’4″, about three feet wide across the shoulders, with a blond mowhawk, and my *God* he was plastered. He kept falling over onto people. Security nearly threw him and the equally freaky MegaDeth sort of chick with him out. They were with a third guy who looked like a totally normal weightlifter sort. Weird.) who, to the best of my ability to tell, desperately wanted to have the fiddle player’s love kittens. It was overly weird. Anyway. Despite the Viking falling over on people, it was a total blast.
They’ve got a new album coming out on the 15th, and convinced the label to let them bring a bunch of copies up to us, so we’ve got the new album early! Nanner nanner! (Tersa, you want I should pick you up one?) And they did six or eight songs from the new album, which is apparently the first time they’ve performed ’em, and I believe they told us not to actually tell anybody this, or “Something dreadful will happen to us,” but I’m telling anyway. I don’t really think something dreadful will happen to them. :)
I did not managed to get out of bed until 9:30, and it took me a full hour after that to actually start functioning. But I told some people I would take pictures of me, because I have not worn the top I wore last night in about 30 pounds, so here’s a couple. First one is from Jamesing in 2000, for weight loss comparisons.
Still not exactly sylph-like, but a big improvement. Plus I really like that headshot. :)
Okay. Um. *looks around* I really need a shower. I am so totally *not* walking today. Except the dog; I’ll probably walk the dog, because *God* I’m such a good person. Shower. Book. Anything else?
> Shower. Book. Anything else?
Album!
If you actually can get one, that would totally, er, rock. :)
arright. email me your address. :)
is it just me, or does that picture betray a certain familial resemblance between us?
The headshot one? Yes, but is it in the hair or the cheekbones? :)
avtually i thought the jaw line/cheekbone/ear combo. kinda the lips, too. :)
Sent to mkp at mizkit dot com! :)
Actually, I was mostly being silly, Deirdre. I just wanted to get that hair line in there. I think in fact there is some similarity. Although I think a lot of it’s the angle. I don’t really look like that, I don’t think. Straight-on my face is very rectangular, and yours isn’t.
Alix–I’ll let you know if I get that. If not, try kit at mizkit dot com. :)
Your face isn’t rectangular, Catie.
And even though we don’t think so within the family, most people thought/think that you and Deirdre look a great deal like one another. I can see similarities myself.
Erm. What shape is it, then?
I think Deirdre and I have similar coloring. I never thought we looked alike, though. :)
I think your face is rather heart-shaped. shrug. could just be me.
Incidentally, I thought the concert was on Friday. Good thing we didn’t say we would go. We would have either shown up a day late, or would have made it to the concert and been REALLY late for work this morning. :) 11:30 start time with 5 am wakeup would not have happened. Glad you had fun!!
There is a concert tonight as well, which we will be attending. You could come! :)
oh. sense of humor? what’s that? actually around the temples, that’s just what my hairline looks like. :)
Heart-shaped is much closer to the mark. Your chin isn’t pointy enough for heart, but your hairline suggests heart-shaped. I’d say, disregarding the widow’s peak, your face is oval.
You and Deirdre have very similar coloring, mouths, eye color, and cheek bones. Deirdre has a different jawline, hairline, browline.
Thus spake your mother.
*squint* Oval, huh. And here I’ve spent my whole life thinking it was square or rectangular. Certainly not heart-shaped. Oval, huh. I guess I must look better with long hair than I think I do, then, because They say oval-faced people can wear any kind of hairstyle at all.
I feel like the old man. I guess I feel better than I thought I did. :)
I recently had folks at work claim that my face is heart shaped. It looks rather boxy (or round, depending on how fat I’m feeling) to me. What inspired it was wearing a thing that pulls back my bangs and hides them so that it looks like I have none, which /I/ think is not a particularly flattering look for me, but other people apparently disagree.
Hmph.
