Must Sleep...

Okay so I had a couple hours of sleep last night - I shouldn't complain. I just know it's not going to be enough to sustain me through today with everything I need to do. So that means I'm just not going to do it all today and my evenings before the trip home are going to suck. Yay!

I saw Trans-Siberian Orchestra yesterday with my friend Fred. (Partial payment for him taking me to Springsteen last month. Those tickets were friggin expensive!) Anyhow, my mom took me to see TSO last year for my birthday and it was just as phenomenal this year. The first half of the show is a story about Christmas and a bunch of their original Christmas songs and kick ass arrangements. I'm sure many of you have heard some of their stuff, but watching the show and watching them do some of the non-Christmas stuff is truly amazing. These musicians are extraordinary - they play it all. Rock, Jazz, Blues, Classical... you name it. I'm not sure I can ever get enough of Angus Clark playing "Flight of the Bumble Bee."
After the concert we went to the Land Rover Club Christmas party. I'm not big on going to parties where I don't know any one but it wasn't bad. They really are a good eclectic bunch of people and I even got a gift out of it! Fortunately, I didn't manage to pick one of the Land Rover themed presents. It's a cool truck and all but some of these folks are just obsessive. Cool, fun but obsessive. (We won't mention the house the party was at had an off-road course in the back yard. Intoxication + Off-roading + snow = ...) I didn't get home until around 1:30! I was exhausted since I left the house for the concert at 1:15.

Well I really need to get going. I'm supposed to be meeting Jacek in 45 mins to do some Christmas shopping. Needless to say I need to get out of my pjs. After shopping, I'll be at Franzy's 2nd Annual Birthday Bowlarama! The all you can bowl deal doesn't start till 8. So it's going to be another late evening – thankfully not as late as last night. Hopefully I'll remember to take some pics to add for you all to see.

Today's parting thought: You know how some people just don't like certain words - mainly descriptive ones. I knew someone who didn't like the word "moist." Anyhow, what gets me lately are cheese adjectives. The ex and I used to always joke and get grossed out by that Taco Bell commercial from about a year and half to 2 years ago that talked about the "Melty Bubbly Cheese." I'm just not sure how appetizing that is. The other day I heard a grocery store commercial advertising their weekly specials and "Chunk Cheese" was on sale. Now that is just sick. Crumble cheese doesn't bother me but Chunk does... It's just the way it sounds. Perhaps it's the whole blowing chunks thing. I dunno. Anyhow, that's that.

Cheers!
Franz
