Concert Season

My hubs and I are concert goers. Seeing live music is one of my main hobbies. I enjoy it so much. There really is nothing like seeing one of your favorite bands live – experiencing the music and sharing it with your closest friends. Unfortunately, Miami doesn’t play host to many great bands but that seems to be changing as of late. We’ve had a lot of great bands coming through our area for once, which makes me really excited and hopeful that we will get even more!

This summer is especially jam packed with musical goodness. I have tickets to see 4 different artists and it’s only March! And they are all wonderful. Want to know who?

Kings of Leon
May 7th, 2009

Kings of Leon are just good rock and roll. And I’m a good rock and roll kind of girl. I was hooked on first listen and was lucky enough to see them open for Pearl Jam back last summer. They were amazing and I hoped and prayed that they would come back headlining their own show. And what do you know? Here they are! I scored floor tickets and will be sharing the fun with my good friend & forever concert buddy, Elissa. It should be tons of fun.

Weekend Highlights

Since I don’t post on weekends, I’ve decided that maybe Monday’s should recap all the fun or maybe not-so-fun things that happened Friday through Sunday. Does that sound like a good idea? Let me know! You all know I love comments & I don’t get enough of them!

So here we go, my weekend roundup:

– I finished watching the So NoTORIous episodes. It was hilarious. I want my own GBFF.
– Gwen became very concerned while watching Tori’s pug, Mimi La Rue.
– OK, I just discovered Mimi La Rue died. Sadness! May the little ham stuffed in a doile rest in peace.

1. 500 Days of Summer
1. 500 Days of Summer

This movie just instantly had me. And I haven’t even seen it. In fact, it won’t come out until July but there is just something to its lovable quirkiness that makes me certain that it will be one of my all time favorites. The movie is about Tom, a hopeless romantic, that is caught off guard when his girlfriend, Summer, breaks up with him. This causes him to go back and relive all 500 days that they were together to try to see where they went wrong. Hint: it wasn’t in the fashion or looks department. These two are absolutely adorable! Check out the trailer here.

I know you have had one of those days. The kind where everything seems to go wrong or you just cannot believe that just happened. The kind of days that make you want to punch babies. Hard.

Well, on days like those, it is always best to know that someone else’s day was worse. Way worse.

And that is what makes fmylife so ridiculously amazing.
It is a website that compiles people’s horrible stories about their embarrassing, hilarious and sometimes just plain awful experiences on a certain day causing them to say…you guessed it…fmylife.

I admit that I have spent entirely too much time on this site laughing so hard I scare innocent bystanders. Try it. You’ll be addicted.

Comic Con 2009

comicconpressI know I made mention of this in my old blog, but I figured since it is only 4 months away (!!!!) I could bring it up again here on my new pretty spot. This year, I will be attending Comic-Con International in San Diego to celebrate my 2_ birthday! I cannot be more excited for anything. Ever.

For those of you who are not familiar with Comic Con, it is ultimately a comic book convention that turned into so much more. It’s now probably one of the biggest pop culture events in the US housing all sorts of toys, art, and games along with plenty of appearances from celebrities that feed into the geek culture. Basically, it’s like Disney World for nerds. And it is fun. And we are going. And I’m so excited. Because, yes people, I am a nerd.
