Rush

I had a freaking awesome birthday.
I went to Edmonton to visit some friends, and go to a Rush concert. It was sooo gooood!

Rush should be considered a super group. It has like some of the best players on their instruments. The concert was just overwhelming. I had an extra ticket too, and was able to sell it with NO effort at all on the street just before the concert started. I had just kind of assumed I'd be eating the price of the one ticket. Worked out awesome. Our seats were great too, 16th row. But there was an aisle in from of us, so we had a ton of space, and no one directly in front blocking our view. Couldn't have asked for much better. Big downside now, is I have to learn a bunch of new songs on Bass, which are pretty difficult songs. Should be fun though. Maybe I'll try to wait until I get my new kit and put it together.

Also did some shopping at Ikea. Picked up some new glasses, which are nice. I also bought a new Sofa Bed, as I needed a new bed, and with my sleeping schedule I don't use a bed too often. I'm pretty excited to get it all setup. I had to clean my room out though, which was long overdue. I ended up getting rid of an overflowing garbage bag of clothes. Downside is now I'm a little low on clothes, but I needed to get rid of a lot of them. Next paycheque I'll end up picking up a couple pairs of pants, and some new shirts. I could use a decent pair of shorts or two as well, now that allergy season is dying down, I can start going outside again.

Started some of the planning for our intended Canada Day(ish) party we'll likely end up throwing. If you know where I live, your invited. Not entirely sure what day(s) we'll be partying, but no one in our house has any plans. Might discuss picking up a keg with the roomies, and set it up Friday or Saturday, and hopefully finishing it off before Tuesday night. Shouldn't be too hard. One roomie is out of town until Sunday, as he has a cousin's wedding or something lame like that. Might delay the festivities a little.

Latest obsession: American Gladiators. A lot of the shows we usually follow have very recently ended their season. American Gladiators is taking over. It's very enjoyable. So far all the new gladiators are pretty cool. Phoenix is a babe, Jet and Rocket have bulked up a bit from last season. Crush still rules. I like most of the new games too, although the new game Vertigo is a little lame. No direct competition with the Gladiator? Plus Phoenix just worked the two contestants in the only time I've seen it so far. I'm pretty excited to see the rest of the new gladiators, and how the rest of the season shakes down.

Also very excited to get my projector back from it's fan repairs. That should make American Gladiators even more awesome!

And I'm trying to embed more links in my posts. Let me know if that's something you like. Takes a little more effort, but then people can actually look up more info when they want to, a little easier anyway.
