The Laziest Saturday You'll Ever Know
Jun. 30th, 2007 08:24 pmI just don't use this icon enough :3
Been watching old Animaniacs episodes on TV Links and LMAO at them. Talk about childhood revisited. Yakko was always my favorite ("Justice is not blind - she's crosseyed"), but Slappy Squirrel is awesome. I love the ep where she has to deal with her nephew getting all emotional and crap over "Bumbie's" (as opposed to "Bambi") mother getting shot in the movie. Pure gold.
Yesterday was interesting. I got home late from the Kenny Chesney concert the night before (more on that later), but I have to be at work at 8:00 in the morning. I basically spent the day doing data entry and also passing off a few low-maintenance edits. 4:15 finally rolled around and I came home and passed out on the bed - intending it to only be 30 minutes at most. So guess what happens at 8:00? I finally wake up from the Power Nap to end all power naps. It didn't stop me from sleeping in until 10:30 this morning and taking another nap this afternoon (this one was thirty minutes, though). Eh... what's a weekend if you don't relax, right?
Oh yeah, the Kenny Chesney "Flip-Flop Summer" tour concert. I ended up taking my sister![[profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
adjie. My dad wanted me to find a date, but not in this neighborhood. Anyway, the concert was amazing. I'd never been to a concert this big before and this was at the outdoor Usana Amphitheatre. Kenny played all his really awesome songs ("You Save Me" is starting to grow on me, seeing as how that's the song that I won the tickets on). And the logo for the tour was made of win - it was a "Pirates of the Caribbean" type skull and crossbones (except they were guitars) with a cowboy hat. I got pictures, but since I'm not rich enough to spring for a digital camera, they're on my disposable camera, which will have to wait until after all the "Harry Potter" hoopla is over and I can get them developed. Captain Jack Sparrow (not Johnny Depp, though. Rats) even made a short appearance in the pre-concert gearing-up-for-awesomeness video, but he didn't say "Why's the run gone?" which I was hoping he would since they didn't make it any secret that a rum company was sponsoring the tour (that would have been extremely funny).
"How Forever Feels" was great live, as was "She Thinks My Tractor's Sexy." I didn't realize I knew as many Kenny Chesney songs as I did, but I sang along to all of them. The best part (IMHO) was when he sang "Back Where I Come From" and they played a montage of all the big Salt Lake City landmarks. The whole crowd went nuts when they showed the Salt Lake Temple, the Delta Center with the Stockton-Malone statues (I refuse to call it EnergySolutions Thingy) and then there was Rice-Eccles Stadium with it's "Home of the University of Utah Utes" and "Real Salt Lake" banners, BUT they zoomed in on the "Home of the Utes" and ignored the soccer whatever. Without insinuating anything that'll get me shot (or sent to Venezuela), that did my heart good. :P
If there was a complaint to be made, it's two things: ONE - Parking at Usana is a bitch. It's on gravel (which, if your going to host a concert touted as "Flip-Flop Summer," wouldn't you assume people are going to wear the appropriate footwear and actually have some kind of surfacing they can walk on without impaling their feet?) and there are only, like, three entrances for cars to get into. 20,000+ people can fit in the amphitheatre, so they have to get home somehow. I was a little aggressive trying to get out, so I got home about 1:00 am, but some people were sitting in that parking lot after the concert for THREE FRECKIN' HOURS. Oy vay. TWO - If you are a girl who's little on the hefty side, please, do NOT wear a size 2 tube top. That in itself is bad enough, but then you start dancing to the music? It ain't no Flip-Flop Summer no more. More like a Flub-Flab Summer. And maybe even something more not-PG-rated. (yes, that was my lame attempt at humor. I failed miserably).
July starts tomorrow and you know what that means? 21 days until Deathly Hallows! I'm not as excited for the Order of the Phoenix movie, but it'll do for a start-up. I never did write that Scribbulus essay about my insanely brilliant theory, but I did write it down. No one can steal it! I'll post it up here later, though.
Aaaand... Granddaddy Godric is jkrowling.com's Wizard of the Month (hey, if Sue Upton can claim to be related to Helga Hufflepuff, then I can claim to be Gryffindor's great-great-some-odd-granddaughter ^_^)
Wow, for spending a day doing nothing of redeeming value, this is quite the post.
