so the weekend is already over. damn. i wish i could say that i get tomorrow off for veteran's day but no such luck. damn. this weekend was chill.. friday ann and i fought traffic to get to the jason mraz show at the wiltern. we met up with carrie, nicole and beth and donated our food and went inside. it's a pretty cool little venue.. very cute, not huge, but also not small. it was a good show. we stood in the back just because it was a bit too crowded and we're a bit too short. dang.. i should have worn my tall shoes. it was kind to stand behind the sound and light boards.. but also a bit distracting. and we also saw the set list (which beth obtained afterwards :P) so a few yays and nays about what he was playing before the show even started. although under "acoustic break" he didn't actually list 0% interest.. so i started jumping up and down and screaming like a school girl when he started to strumm the chords as nicole and beth looked at me like i was a weirdo. but it was interesting to see the show evolve.. it was really flashy and cool, but i did find myself staring at the lights and how they moved and not even listening to the show (oohh.. shiny).. especially from the back. nicole is so funny- as jason was coming on stage.. the theater was all dark and then these yellow lights started to wave around the theater and i think there was some "pump you up" music playing and nicole screams "i thought we were here to see jason mraz! not *nsync" so sad, yet kind of true. but during one of jason's last songs he was saying how he thought the lights were ridiculous.. haha.. at least he knows :P i wonder if it's hard for him to play and concentrate like that. i read some interview with blink 182 and they were saying how it's so hard to play with all the flashing, strobing lights. i bet it's the same for jason mraz.. well.. at least at first. but he had this giant backdrop that came in half way through the show and it was like the background of his cd cover.. and then after a song or two they shined lights on it to change it so it looked like the street at night.. there were little lamps, and a moon and lyrics from various songs were printed on it. it was very disneyland and really rad. soooo different.. but still cool :) i am still a teenybopper so i can enjoy these things, and still love it and have a good time, but it's definitely interesting to see the differences. but i'm glad that my friends had a good time. they are all sorry now that they thought that i was insane when i tried to get them to go see jason mraz with me last summer. the official retractions are now in their blogs. haha.. i'm just glad that they don't think i'm crazy anymore.. they have too fallen under the spell. :) rad.
after the show i said goodbye to philly and gave her some paraphernilia stuff i had.. i hope she loves it.. or else i'll regret that i didn't hock it on ebay and make some money i so desperately need. haha jk. and i also saw aran too.. which was exciting.. i screamed and we hugged.. our usual routine. i love him. (one more thing about bigger venues, i didn't get to see "everyone" too bad) afterwards i drove ann home after a late dinner at in n out. saturday i just cleaned, fought with my mom.. the same usual weekend drama. i did watch my tv that i recorded that week.. i finally had time to catch up.. one tree hill, friends, but i frikkin forgot to tape miss match. damn. sunday i cooked some really nasty mac n cheese.. if you ever cook it.. don't put pepper in it. i always see people do it and i thought it would be good. it's not. it's nasty.. don't do it. and then i went to go see love actually with manny and sakura. it was alright.. we got there late so we had to sit in the second row.. my eyes watered at some points from being too close up. it was interesting to have that many storylines in one movie.. and i do feel that not all them played out as well as they could have.. but it was good. i was expecting something else.. but it was okay. and hugh grant is such a cutie. i'll love him even if he likes hookers. afterwards sakura and i went to elephant bar and shared a really good appetizer.. it was yummy. mm.. i kind of almost want to go there right now and have it again for lunch :P
this week we're starting to do softball stuff. we have our first "practice" tomorrow.. yay! i love softball. but i do need to go find my glove.. i completely misplaced it (like everything else in my life). i'm so excited though. yay! i hope i don't suck too much. kudos to beth for making a blogger for us already.. i think she's already working on a tshirt too.. hahah.. i want cute baseball tees :P i feel like i should go do some exercise to get in shape.. cuz i definitely missed spring training. i huffed and puffed my way up 5 flights of stairs while everyone else was breathing normally. :P go me. go waffles!
