In brief

Excellent weekend, truly. Incredibly good.

Friday: I saw Corpse Bride with Carly & Tim. I loved it, and it was nice to see them again.

Saturday: I saw the White Stripes and Shins with whtegrlwthehair and friends. Good times. The Stripes are good recorded, but amazing live. Even with a blown PA. I hope they had that fixed by the show tonight!

Today: Watched the Yanks beat Toronto 8-4. And cheered my lungs out for the one and only, incomparable, irreplaceable Bernie Williams. Because his contract is up this year, and we need to show Herr Steinbrenner we need more Bernie, oh yes we do.

Desperate Housewives was very, very good. Grey's Anatomy, however, owns my soul. I now know which show I would pick if I had to. Even though I might be sad about having to choose.

I also got my stuff done for write club, by some miracle. Which is why I will be dead tomorrow. But I will sleep better tonight as a result.

In other news:
This song is one of my favorites lately. It blows me away how many beautiful songs Van Morrison has written and performed in his career. This one being the most beautiful of them all, in my opinion.

And now, to sleep. I need to shower in the morning and I can't oversleep.

I think I'm getting old. The White Stripes were too guitar-y for me, and I liked the piano stuff best. Or maybe I was just in a blah mood. The Shins were awesome, but not on long enough. And Mitch forgot to DVR Grey's Anatomy. :(

I agree - the shins weren't on for long enough. They did about half of the set they did during the shows in April, and midway through the Shins's set one of the main speakers in the PA blew hardcore. The sound was bad for the rest of the night as a result, but both bands still did okay. I just think the pacing was off - there should have been better organizations of what songs they did when, but I still very much enjoyed the show.

I have Grey's dvr'd. I will try to tape it to vhs if I can sometime this week and get it to you before Sunday, if I can.

I really have to make sure I see an actual Shins concert someday.

Ooo, if you could tape it that would be awesome! I'd like there to be at least one show I can watch with some regularity.
