disappointed

Went to a Rockapella concert. They are five guys. One was out of commission. So instead of doing the professional thing - canceling the show and refunding - they sang anyway. Only they didn't adjust their parts at all, just sang their repertoire with a part missing. Basically, they never quite tuned up the whole night, so your ear could never really lock into a key. There were all these weird open chords missing a note that just kinda made me cringe. The vocal percussionist was amazing, except that he was turned up loud enough to completely cover up the melody most of time (that is when there was a melody - apparently sometimes the fifth guy has it...) Not sure what the sound guy was thinking there. Or maybe it was intentional to distract from the lack of cohesive harmonies. Their bass is also amazing. I would have preferred to just listen to him sing songs all night and forget the rest. I remember these guys being brilliant, so this was a bummer. I wonder whether it was the group or the venue that made the decision to not cancel the show. Hmmm.

This I do not get at all: apple cozies. I will admit that the page of them is pretty, but seriously, are people buying these? If you get it, please explain it to me.

really?

Spiderman the musical? Really and truly? Why?

I smell a rat

I don't get this. They just sit there, the two of them, staring and staring. I've checked the cabinets and under the oven, and I don't see anything resembling a current or former rodent. But still, they sit...

I don't understand the appeal of texting. That is all.

I blogged this.

I've been inspired to start up my blog again. Yeah, we'll see how long that lasts. I have a plan. But so did the Cylons, and we all know how that ended.

So let's start small, with an "I don't get this" post. Here's what I don't get. I don't get the cowl trend. Seriously, what's the point of an oversized turtleneck thing that covers half your face but has no torso-warming attachment. Plus, they're goofy-looking. Just wear a scarf, I say.
