R.I.P. Hydrangea


My alkaline Hydrangea drowned with all of the Spring rain (my fault for not draining properly).... :(


I'll try again next year...

So I called my mom about 20 minutes ago to let her know "Ringo Starr is going to be on Larry King tonight! " (Ringo is her fave Beatle).

Um... yeah... I just turned on CNN... about 10 minutes ago... Top story.. Christy Brinkley divorce... followed by the entire Madonna, A-Rod, Lenny Kravitz mess.... - I am sure my mom won't even stick around to see if Ringo appears for the last 30 minutes... she banned MTV from our house when I was 15 because of Madonna's "bad influence "!!!

Widget mania!

So I been using Blogger for about 2 weeks after the big move from 360....and I think it is a much richer platform... most notably due to the ability to add widgets (especially the HTML/JAVA block, where you can add 3rd party code!).

I have found great stuff from this site ( like my stat counter and comments ratings).

I found the tag cloud code here .

Eeeek!

I hope one of them is not my local Federal Center SW one :)


After a great day in NYC (no rain!, Pinkberry!, and comfy shoes!) I was ready for MSGII.

I was unable to get tickets to this show under my member number, but my friend was able to. She joind about 3 years after me so has a slightly higher number... and we were not on the floor... but it was great... we were in the first "ring" about 12 rows back... right up against the stae... and since we were elevated and on an agle had a great view!

Pearl Jam did not disappoint. They opened with "Release" - this will always be my favorite opener... its what they opened with the first time I saw them live... and really heard them ;)

At one point walking around NYC my friend and I came across a hue Rat statue/blowup thing... I was like " They are playing 'Rats' tonight!" (actuallyI kinda almost screamed it... luckily since I was in NYC... no one thought I was out of the ordinary :P) - I should have taken a pic... but didn't... but PJ did play Rats!!! it was great.

It was a great setlist... I think this may be one of my top shows of all time (preceeded only by the epic State College 2003 show).

Ace Frehley came out near the end to play KISS' "Black Diamond" (which Mike and Matt sang on).

Also... I must have had some major Mojo workin' this night... because during the show I was hit on by a young guy from Philly - (seriously I think he was about 26 if he was lucky)... and outside MSG after the show I was hit on by a guy from Israel (who thought he was older then me ... but I clued him in that no he wasn't (he was only 32) ):P
