Sir Paul & Other Things

Last Friday the 11th, I went to see Paul McCartney.

It was absolutely AMAZING. I can't think of any other words to describe it. I was sitting there, watching and it was such a surreal moment. I couldn't believe that I was actually there watching a Beatle. I was in awe the whole time. The setlist was amazing as well. He played a lot of Beatles songs, some Wings songs, and 4 songs from his new album. He is just awesome...you'd never think he was 65 doing what he's doing. As a very good friend said, "I want to have his babies." All I can say to that is, I agree.

I was sitting on the side of the stage, way up in nosebleed seats. It was cool though, cause there was a screen right in front of where I was sitting, so I could watch that. I like screens and then I don't...I like them cause you can see, but I don't because it almost feels like you're just watching TV. I want to go back so bad...my roommate is going and Merc & Ong are going and it makes me sad...I dunno why, I got to see him too...I would just love to experience it again. I love 311, but this has been the highlight of my concert career and will probably continue to be that for the rest of my life.

........

I am now officially in my new position at work. It is not bad, for the most part. At times I am fine and at others I feel like I was just thrown into this job and I have to figure things out. It's a good way to learn I suppose, but it can be annoying. I'm still getting used to having to get up early and most of next week I close, I can't wait for a consistent schedule. So far, so good...I just hope I can handle it as it gets busier.

I can't believe that Thanksgiving is a week away. I swear time has flown this whole year, I'm afraid that I will go to bed one night and then wake up in 2008 or something. I am excited though, I'm going to my roommate's house for Thanksgiving. I really like her family, so it should be fun times....and good eats.

This has been said many times, but I hate Southern CA weather. It is completely unpredictable, one day it is a nice, cool 70 and the next day it's 87 degrees, with warm winds. The newscasters are calling it, "Summer in November." Bah. I remember my first year in Fullerton, I was 90 degrees the week before Thanksgiving and I remember thinking, "what the hell?" And here it is again....though it does seem like it's gonna be a little cooler today.

Oh....my roommate and I are officially out of the stone age...we have DSL!! Let's here some woot woot's for that. ;) I am very excited...I can now pirate music at an ever faster speed. Go me.

Music: The Rolling Stones - She's So Cold
