So ya, thought ya, might like to, go to a show

My mom and I went shopping on Sunday afternoon to return unwanted things and scope out the Christmas deals. I got a couple tops, a vest, and Aqua Teen Hunger Force Vol. 1 on DVD. I also tried on these pink cords from the Gap which I kinda wanted and they looked nice on me, but I honestly don't have many tops to pair with them. 

While I was scoping out the concert DVD's in HMV, I spotted Roger Waters performing the Wall live in Berlin. Waters stated in 1989 that the only way he would perform a live rendition of the Wall was "if the Berlin Wall came down". So when the Berlin Wall fell down in November of 1989, Waters performed a concert in July of 1990 to commemorate the event. 

The Wall is one of my favourite albums and the thought of watching it live made me excited. I decided to watch it on Youtube first to judge if it would be worthy enough to buy. Waters collaborated with a number of well-known artists, like the Scorpions, Cindi Lauper, and Sinead O'Connor, to reproduce the story of main character Pink as he encounters obstacles which eventually lead to his initial isolation from society (his building of 'the wall'). 

The majority of songs were performed really well,they kept it very true to the studio version of the album and didn't really add on to the original compositions. I know that this is mostly due to the fact that it was other musicians playing them and not the original band members themselves. 

Oh. I would just like to add that since I was watching it on Youtube, I ran into some technical difficulties. The concert was divided into 12 parts and I couldn't watch two of them because the audio was disabled due to copyright infringement. My question is: Why would you censor only TWO of the videos and not remove the entire thread off Youtube? 

My favourite part in watching this concert were the puppets, check them out:

There's always a first time for everything... I guess

I went to the dentist yesterday and after sitting in the chair for 40 minutes with the hygienist digging around my gums, I found out some shocking news... The dentist put some metal poking thing in one of my molars, and when it got stuck she said, "Oh you have a hole". I just sat there dreading the next couple of minutes for fear of the worst - that there was a cavity. 

19 years, 19 years and I've never had a cavity! Everyone says that this is quite the achievement, but I've grown so attached to my pure (well somewhat pure cause I had braces back in the day) teeth that I don't want anything more to be done to them. My dentist said she would put in one of those white fillings so that people won't notice, but I sure will remember it's there! Gah. 

What a way to ring in the new year with a trip to the dentist. Hopefully I can get an appointment next week so that I can get this shindig over with. I guess this isn't the worst thing that could happen to me, but it's still a bummer. 

Merry Boxing Day!

I just finished watching the third, and final season, of Degrassi Jr. High. It was absolutely intense and I cannot wait to start watching Degrassi High. But it will probably be a while until I get it from my cousin Renee, so I'll watch Arrested Development or ER or something else instead. Cheers to having all the free time in the world! 

Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night <3

I still have a few more things to wrap before we head out to my grandparent's house for the night. We're all meeting a new-found family relative, my grandma's second cousin I believe, for the first time tonight. His friend Glen, an historian who works at Port Colborne's Museum, will also be there. The candlelight service at church starts at 11pm and then Bunny, Tyler, and I will be staying the night at my grandparents' house.

I just wish that some snow would cover the ground before Christmas morning. 

Fingers crossed!

So adorable.

Ghetto superstar that is what you are

Oh hey new camera.
