Last night was the Scissor Sisters concert at the Electric Factory here in philly. It was soooo much fun. We got there really early, and the place was dead. I was worried it wouldn’t be a good turn out, but by time they took the stage the place was packed.

We, for some reason, just climbed to the top/back of the place. The upstairs is where the adults go to drink, the downstairs for the underage and those who want to mosh. John kept commenting how everyone seemed so olllllddddd. I said you were the one who wanted to come all the way up here!

My camera/phone didn’t get really good photos when they were playing. Too many bright lights and it kept washing out. I did get some good ones during songs they had trippy light shows going.

I also got a few good vids of them playing. Here are two of them . . . .

I found a new app, and I have to say I’m gunna have a WHOLE lot of fun with this come Halloween. To think, I was actually considering not decorating this year after the horrific winds of last. I just need to remember to hit Home Depot for the supplies I need to keep things from blowing away this year . . . and pray we don’t get the hurricane force winds again.

My Singstar video for “(Keep Feeling) Fascination” by the Human League is currently at 4 1/2 stars and a hot pick of the week. Woohoo!

I was determined to go sledding, but we didn’t have any sleds. I had planned to use an old skateboard deck, but couldn’t find them. They may have been thrown out . . . GASP! This is what we had used in the past few years if we ever went sledding (and it’s been years, but I know we had them circa 2006 as I have photos of us on them that Christmas).

We had old old metal saucers in the back corner of the yard . . . under two feet of snow of course! I’ve never had luck with those things unless your sledding on a sheet of ice (which tonight we will probably have out there). However the saucers have been there for so long, and are pretty dented.

I headed to the attic hoping maybe the skateboards were up there. They weren’t, but and old old old “you’ll shoot your eye out” era wooden sled with real metal runners was! I had struck gold.

So my brother and I headed out to sled down the street. We kept having to wait as stupid idiots were out driving. I’m tempted to go out after dark when it’s a sheet of ice (and hopefully nobody is stupid enough to be driving, but you know they will be). Usually most people in the past have gone down this street after dark because cars don’t traverse it too much.

Anyway, enjoy some photos and videos! (the videos may need time to be fully uploaded and converted to HD quality as well).

Given I know people are busy this time of year, I’m posting this a bit early. One year I did it early, one year I did it later. However I know you bitches (said with lurve, please let’s not relive the “Lifetime” joke drama!) are expecting this from me again. I have been posting it for a few years now, and this time I think I’ve out done myself with what I’ve found for you. It’s almost brand spanking new, added this very month! If you have no idea what I’m talking about, see posts from 2008 and 2007.

BTW, if you didn’t know, the musical “Promises Promises” which this number comes from (based on the move “The Apartment”) is going to have a Broadway reprisal next year. It’s going to star THE Miss Kristen Chenowith (Glee, Wicked) and THE Mr. Jack McFarland (WIll and Grace)! Oh yes, I will be there!

BTW, next year perhaps I’ll learn this dance and do it for you. How about that? I know you bitches wanna see that!

I took this video a night or two ago. Enjoy it, because it’s pretty much all gone now. We’ve had 45-55 mile an hour winds here today. I got so tired of running out to fix things or stop things from blowing down the street that I gave up and took most of it down. I have no intention of putting it back up until the winds go away, or possibly again. Having it destroyed only days after I put it all up has ruined it for me.

A very quick video. No music (you can hear cars going by) and just the day (no night time lights yet). I’ll try and do a night shoot then some editing when I have time

Figured I should give some updates as to what is going on.

I have still avoided said establishment, and being stuck in my house is driving me nuts. I went to Chili’s for lunch on Friday, then out with Emily to Bahama Breeze on Saturday. I am currently on “Oh My God Look How Much I Weigh” Sunday

I’m pretty sure unless I be shady with the dates on my Wii that I’m gunna fail my EA Active Sports 30 Day Challenge. I am not planning on trying it again, I will simply just use preset workouts (or design my own) and move forward. You have to do 20 workouts in 30 days, and I think if you have too many “rest” days in-between a workout you fail. I think I might just put my Wii Date back a few days and “cheat.” You see I have a nice blister on my hand (accident with the stove of course), which forced me out for awhile (because of the straps the game uses). Frankly I don’t want to start over mainly because I have to do the same workouts over again (the 30 day challenge uses a course of workouts), and I’m bored as hell with them (having already restarted them once). Way too many lunges for my tastes, and I’ve cursed the poor lady trainer out enough as is for making me do so many. I’m so glad she can’t hear me and talk back!

I went to see “District 9″ this weekend. I wasn’t sure I’d like it, as the trailer was just bizarre. Plus I’m not really an alien movie fan. However the movie was fantastic. A little slow in the beginning with the set-up, and a little dragged out at the end, but well worth it. Just don’t see this movie if you are squeamish. This is a gory movie, with blood and guts and oozing and bodies exploding left and right. Yes, bodies explode!

Anyway, to get out of the house, as well as help facilitate my writing and concentration, I’m going to the local library starting tomorrow to do my work. We’ll see how it goes, whether or not the space is “too big and too busy” for me. Yes it’s a library, but this is a huge library and they don’t have little private nooks for people to work in. Your stuck at a giant table, unless you snag a corner chair, in which old people seem to just sleep. If it doesn’t work out I could always try Panera, but then I’ll probably go broke and get fat

The following is a clip from a special feature of the “Designing Women” Season 1 DVD. This clip was from the Paley Media Center reunion of Designing Women (not to be confused with the one that Lifetime TV did, which is all over YouTube). This is my favorite clip from this reunion, for reasons you will soon see.

Fun Facts: Delta blurts out that she loves when Dixie was telling off the jury (which Dixie speaks about, a great episode I will say). Meanwhile the show’s writer speaks about Imogene! Imogene was the character from the AIDS episode who Julia blasted after she said AIDS was “killing all the right people.”

This whole clip is classic, and mad props to Linda Bloodworth-Thomason for what she says! Also Annie Potts for the zinger she delivers, as well as Jean Smart and Delta Burke’s comments about gay parades and bars. Even though she’s a republican, we love the Dixie Carter too We love you all! You are classy ladies!

Here is a news story on the Tomato Late Blight which John was featured a bit in.
