So for those who haven’t been following, my online magazine has had numerous updates in the past few weeks. Though many of you have probably already seen them, I thought I’d list some of the newest articles to join the ranks. To show I’m not biased, I’ll list them in alphabetical order…
After years of waiting and hoping that one day it would see the light of day, the time has come. U2’s PopMart: Live In Mexico City concert has finally been released onto DVD today! And yes, I bought it already. And no, I didn’t cheap out and just get the single disc version, I bought the two-disc deluxe edition.
Sure, the 90s was the controversial era of U2, but it was also my favorite. I’ve always been a big fan of Pop and PopMart in particular, even though it was rushed a little and Bono’s voice was in dire need of a break. Perhaps that is why I enjoy it so much, it’s just so raw yet also over the top at the same time. Seriously, who wouldn’t love seeing a band come out of a giant mirror ball lemon?
Do yourself a favor and pick this one up. Highlights include Bullet The Blue Sky, Last Night On Earth, Discotheque, Please and Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me. I really hope they do an elaborate tour like this again. The theatrics are awesome…
Wow, it’s been a while since I’ve updated this. I suppose I should bring you up to speed with what is new.
Florida was a blast. It was very hot, but I enjoyed it. And for some reason my allergies didn’t bother me at all down there, which was awesome. As soon as I got back to Ontario they started right back up again though. Sheesh…
I wish I was still there… The ability to breathe was nice, plus the Disney World environment is just really cool to be in. It’s not Mickey Mouse in your face 24/7 as you might think, it’s just a well developed and thought out place. The staff everywhere are incredible and consistent for one thing, then Disney just thinks of everything throughout their property from its decor to how to make the guests more comfortable in essentially every category. I was impressed.
I did take a lot of pictures (and I mean a lot), so that’s why I haven’t uploaded any yet. There are so many to filter through that I need to set some time aside to do that. I’ll try to do that maybe later this week tenatively, so stay tuned for that…
We came back on the 2nd, but then on the 4th I jumped right into college classes. Ugh. I’m on my second week now and it isn’t too bad, but gosh they hand out a lot of homework from the get-go. It can be difficult for those of us who are working while attending college full time (at least 75% of the students in the program). That’s my biggest complaint right now. I don’t mind the in class stuff and some homework, but when you need to spend most of your time away from class doing homework it gets annoying. Then one teacher is a little iffy and incredibly by the books it seems, but we’ll see how she/he turns out. It’s still early on so they may change…
Then on top of school and music industry work (which I’ve been loaded with too as of late), I’m still working 22 hours a week at Future Shop. I think I may have to eventually drop a few hours though as it can be a bit much with everything else going on. We’ll see. Maybe insanity isn’t so bad after all…
On a completely different note, Canadian Idol has come to a close. And who picked the winner from way back at the auditions round? I’m pretty sure it was me. ha. I’m glad to see Brian Melo win though as I always always impressed with him. I love his rendition of Radiohead’s Karma Police, as do the judges evidently.
I bought The Office: Season Three on DVD when it released on the 4th. I’ve been trying to catch up on the show so I can actually watch it week by week on TV this season. I only have three episodes to go in the entire set, one of which is the hour-long finale. So it’s pretty safe to assume I’ll be caught up before Season Four starts on the 27th…
Well, I think that’s it for now. I need to grab something to eat and then head to class. Hooray. Can you tell I’m excited?
What I'm Doing...
I just realized I never watched last night's Office yet. I have to head to bed though, so I guess I'll watch it after work tomorrow. Oh well 8 hrs ago
