This weekend I went to Atlanta with Randi and Daryl to see Elton John and Billy Joel.... FANTASTIC! It's my second time seeing Elton but I really enjoyed both sets. Elton played "Levon", which he didn't play last time I saw him, so I was so excited to hear those opening notes on the piano! I wish he could hit the high notes like he used to, but I think he adapts the songs very well to work with his lower register. (Take this clip from "Madman Across the Water" for example). Also, I've never been a huge Billy Joel fan (never really been exposed to much of his music), but I really enjoyed his set and plan to get some of his music now.
While we were in Atlanta, we went the Aquarium. Fish, though slimy, unaffectionate, and delicious fried or grilled on rice, are awesome. I could have watched the fish for hours. I am that much of a tool. They have this long tunnel you can walk through that is right underneath this HUGE tank with sharks, big ol' grouper, and other fishy fish.
Shark door! (Rob, are you listening??)
The only thing wrong with this weekend is that Rob was unable to come. I miss that kid! (Insert him in the picture below! Also, if you enlarge it, you can see a whale shark!)
(Good Lord... My hair is TOO long!)
Rob may not have been able to come this weekend, but he will be here in about 16 hours!! He'll only be here till Wednesday night, but I am ready to see my BABY! I LOVE HIM!
Tonight, Dad and I had a conversation about the new U2 album. I gave him a copy a few weeks ago and I didn't know if he would actually listen to it, but apparently he did! Maybe I am getting through to him on how awesome they are! (Or maybe he's just being polite! Either way, it was awesome.) We talked about the song "Sometimes You Can't Make it on your Own" (not on the new album, but I had given him a copy to listen to along with the new album). I told him I had always thought of him when I listened to certain lines, and he agreed with me after he heard it. We talked for about an hour... awesome. I miss him.
Trying to get the house ready for Rob's visit. Another blog to come after his visit I'm sure! We're going to have a dinner/move date night! You have no idea how much I am looking forward to it!
