The only talent show I like

by

Did you watch America’s Got Talent? If you did don’t tell me who won because I recorded the shows on my PRV and haven’t watched the most recent episode yet.

It’s funny that I like this show. I really hate shows like American Idol and Canadian Idol (yes I get two doses of the idol shows!), Dancing with Stars and so on. Hate them with a passion, but for some reason I like America’s Got Talent.

I guess it’s because the show has so much variety. There’s magic acts, ventriloquism, acrobatics or physical acts, singers and musicians – plus many of them are funny. Humor always gets bonus points with me.

There’s a singer/ guitar player that I’ve been hoping will win. His name is Cass Haily. When he performs he reminds me of Chris when he plays. My husband is a musician and his vocal range is similar to Cass’ and he enjoys playing as much as it appears that Cass does. I hope he wins or that he’s already won.

Don’t tell me if you know!





There are nice people out there

by

My husband is a very happy man.

A wrote a post late last week about the Rick Wakeman concert that he wanted to get tickets for, but hadn’t yet, and a very nice man found my post and offered up his extra ticket.

Chris was out of town visiting his family when I received the kind mans message on Tuesday and I must admit that when Chris came home late Wednesday evening – much later than he was supposed to have come home, I forgot to tell him that he had a chance to go to the Rick Wakeman concert.

So yesterday as I was going through the email on my main computer I remembered that I’d saved the messages from the kind stranger and I asked Chris “Do you still want to go to that Rick Wakeman concert?” and he said “Hell Yes!” so I told him about that man that had offered the spare ticket – Free.

Chris was on the phone in minutes calling the mans number. They ended up talking on the phone for a while and it sounds like they’ll get along fine. That’s a good thing because I think the extra ticket was supposed to be for the mans wife but his wife didn’t want to see such an outdated musician (Rick Wakeman is the keyboardist from the band YES). It’s her loss. Chris is going.

I think they planned to meet up at a very cool Irish bar on the Danforth and then they’ll go to the Danforth Music Hall together.

I think they’ll have fun.

There’s always lots of things to complain about, but it’s really nice when someone randomly does something this nice.

Rick Wakeman concert

by

We’ve just discovered that there’s some really good concerts going on this summer at the Danforth Music Hall. Chris has been trying to buy concert tickets for the Rick Wakeman concert on August 19th.

What you don’t know who Rick Wakeman is? Have you heard of the band YES? Oh YES you have … I’m sure you have. The tickets are about $70. Kind of expensive but this might be Chris’ only time to see him in concert. I guess if he’s going to buy the tickets he’ll have to do it soon.

Funny thing. Mandy Moore – yes the actress, has a concert at the Danforth Music Hall on September 21st. Interesting.

Everyone needs a friend

Wordless Wednesday

Whenever I see this photo I always think of the lyrics to the song You’ve got a Friend by Carol King and James Taylor.

When you’re down and troubled
And you need a helping hand
And nothing, whoa nothing is going right.
Close your eyes and think of me
And soon I will be there
To brighten up even your darkest nights.

You just call out my name,
And you know where ever I am
Ill come running, oh yeah baby
To see you again.
Winter, spring, summer, or fall,
All you have to do is call
And Ill be there, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You’ve got a friend.

That song is actually my husband and I’s song. We danced to it at our wedding. It suits us perfectly because we are best friends.

That poor monkey. Looks like he needs more than a stuffed toy.

Idiot neighbors finally quieted down

by

My neighbors finally quieted down on Saturday night. I still didn’t end up getting much sleep though. I was so mad that they had destroyed my evening! I swear they were so loud with their awful Karaoke music that it almost seemed like they were inside my house.


The next time we buy a house it will not be a semi-detached. There’s nothing much wrong with semi-detached homes, but if you have noisy neighbors you can often hear them through the walls. Now I live in an old well built house … I really shouldn’t be able to hear my neighbors through a couple of feet of brick and plaster should I? I do though so that means they are extremely loud!

I guess we’re going to have to have a talk with them this week. They already know that we can hear their music and singing. We’ve even brought them inside our house when they had their music up loud and they agreed that it was outrageously loud.

So I have to think that they don’t care how noisy they are since they know how loud they are – they’ve heard themselves!
