It was absolutely great; worth the long wait.The sheer fact that i heard weird fishes/arpeggi, reckoner, you and whose army?, there there and pyramid song all in a 2 hour period makes me happy beyond belief.I was not expecting My Iron Lung, the bass line is so sexy. And when Thom was playing drums in Bangers and Mash, they way he moved was such like a go-go, i could not help but laugh all the time. Loved it.The only negative was my seat. It was too much to the left and I could not see the video well. Also i could not see much of Phil or Colin which is annoying.One last thing: I don't understand why do ppl have to come and go at all times. I mean, they're playing Idioteque or Exit Music and the girls in front went out to get nachos w/ cheese! Who the hell eats at a concert?Other than that, I had an excellent evening.

Когда на душе смурно и не очень радостно, мой рецепт прост: я вспоминаю, как Йорк приветствует Гластонбери-2003, и хорошее настроение обеспечено.

I was heavy into my Radiohead fandom around that time. Heading into my last semester, I heard they were gonna tour Chi-town that year. I rallied the troops and sent word that a concert attendance must be had. Welp, after standing in line for a couple of hours at the Ticketmaster outlet in Manhattan, they opened the window up. After about 30 seconds the show sold out. I double checked and Ohio tickets were still available but nobody wanted to go. I wasn't seeing Radiohead. I made a vow to myself right there, that I would see them before I die.So tomorrow it will happen.I reinstalled my linux laptop and updated the software. The new camera's batteries are charged. I printed out maps to places I want to see on the way (Booche's in Columbia look out). I have the rest of the week off of work. I've had a couple of beers. Most importantly, I have my ticket (well and the car that's gonna take me there).After all of this build up, I'm just not excited. Not yet. Maybe it's the toil of preparation or maybe I'm just tired from a hard day's work or maybe I'm saving my anxiety for the show tomorrow. At any rate, a dream going on 7 years will come true tomorrow. I hope tomorrow alot of dreams will come true for others. At the least, I hope we will get to enjoy the experience and I hope to meet some of you out there.Until then, have a good night. I'm going to have ONE more beer.....

i am packing to go to the concert. steven continues to make fun because i am so concentrated into this.i've had dreams where the band does not play reckoner nor arpeggi.that is so silly, but still it has happened twice this week; my brain must be melting.although i am excited about the concert it comes at the worst time. i leave for italy next week and have tons of things to do: proofread for the 20th time my paper for the conference, pack, practice the paper delivery...ok, i'll just go and do some yoga to try to quiet my mind a little.
Not at all what I expected and all the better for it. Colin Farrell as Ray and Brendan Gleeson as Ken playing opposite each other in well judged, believable performances as two hit men waiting in Bruges for their next assignment. Farrell, who is trying to come to terms with a tragic incident, astonishingly, brings much humour to the film with a performance reminiscent of Father Dougal Maguire in Father Ted. Chance encounters, both humorous and violent, with a dwarf, drug dealers and offended American tourists helping the action along to what I found to be a satisfying and not totally predictable ending. Good support from Jordan Prentice as the dwarf (a term his character insists on so don't get all pc) and Ralph Fiennes as Harry, their boss. Not the best tourist ad for Belgium, but the medieval city still looks stunning.

One of the things I'm used to doing when I get at work is checking the news on the web. Might set my mood for the day if I find something intersesting, which is, I guess, better than having my mood set on the weather forecast.And this morning, I found this article in Le Monde that made me stop for a moment. More or less, it was about scientists betting that global warming would pause for a few years. Nothing big, just small variations, that have always happened and don't change much, nothing you would notice on a larger period of time. What disturbs me is the way information is molded. What will people remember of the news ? Mostly the title.On the French article, "Des chercheurs parient 5 000 euros sur une pause dans le réchauffement" (Scientists bet € 5,000 on a global warming pause). On another article (in English this time), "Global Warming May Take Ten Year Break".Fine ! Fine ! So we can go on like nothing's happening for another decade !!! How convenient. Let's wait for politicians in all countries getting ready to say : a."See, global warming is not such a threat, average temperatures are colder than last year !". b. "See, the Kyoto protocol was enough, global warming is slowing down!" c. "Global warming ?"Sometimes I get so angry I'd like to say "I don't understand how people can be so [insert swear word of your choice] stupid", but I won't. Because I do.Well, it is sunny today.Read more…
my roomate's asleep. haven't done a single thing whole day, she also didn't study.and everything started just fine, woke up at 7am unlike the usual noone wake up.even had driving class and even took my clothes to laundry. but then i fell asleep.for about 2 hours.then cook some launch (sea food and pasta) and then hanged out with my bf. and yes, i do have an essay to do for next week and two exams in 3 days.and no i haven't touched a book whole day.can't even make it to the work table.i'm blaming it on the professor who was supposed to announce the results of the test we did more than 2 weeks ago today. you think he announced it? no sir. and he was supposed to do it like a week ago. i can't concentrate. i feel as if those results will show me the direction i'm heading this semester,sad. this was a really dull and pedant post. i apologize.

if this goes to anyone affiliated with the band I am REALLY UPSET about the May 11 show in Viginia. I cannot believe you went on in that hellish weather. Radiohead is my favorite band and the only reason I visited the terrible venue. It was very unsafe to be there in that amount of rain and flooding, not to mention getting home. I left before the show started and am super depressed it was not rescheduled.
