Bolt of Blue

This blog has a new look… I loved the Moulin Rouge look but I was tired of frames so I went for a clean tables layout. I like it a lot… for once. Used Blur for inspiration. I’m calling this the blurry version.

Camped out for Radiohead tickets and we got them. My friend Eddie’s wristband was called first! It was a miracle since it sold out in like seconds.

I feel so tired still since we saw Missing Persons in Anaheim on Friday night (the crowd was more kick-ass at the Roxy on Thursday but this was a fun show too and not nearly as hot inside) then afterwards, we hung out to see Warren (which was a CRAZY experience). Then went to eat. Then went to the Hollywood Bowl to camp out. When we got there we saw a coyote in the streets which was a little freaky. I brought my tent thankfully. Made such a difference. After the ticket sale, which was so poorly run, I got my photos developed. It was like the most important role of film I’ve taken yet I think. It had my picture with Joe which turned out surprisingly beautiful considering I couldn’t hold a smile since I was shaking so much. It also had a picture I took of my friend Candice and Rick James (don’t ask) that is classic. There was a shot on there of Warren with Eddie and also my friend Vyolet with Warren and sexy Terry Bozio. All the photos came out gorgeous. Thank the good Duranie gods!

So I met Joe. I met freaking Joe McIntyre. Finally. After all these years. I was so nervous. I was shaking all over but managed to talk to him pretty calmly. Told him right off how this was a long time in coming as I shook his hand. It was completely crazy when I bent down to tell him my name… he was inches away and we looked each other straight in the eyes for a long couple of seconds. Unreal. He has the bluest eyes I’ve ever seen. We posed for a picture together but I was shaking so much I couldn’t hold my smile so I’ll probably look like an idiot. What else is new? Then when I went to kiss him on the cheek, he moved in more than I was expecting for this weird kinda hug and I ended up lightly kissing his ear. Oops…

The show at the Roxy was splendid. I had so much fun. Saw Donnie Wahlberg come out of his limo before the show. He was looking great. And it was cool he was there for Joe like that. Very cool. Uncool was seeing Amaya from the Real World Hawaii trying to get into the backstage area. She is so yucky. I don’t think she managed to get in but oh well. Also saw Dawson’s mom. That was randomly funny.

Ok so it’s this Saturday that I’m going to be trying to get Radiohead tickets. After seeing Missing Persons, we are heading over to the Hollywood Bowl and hopefully we will get some decent seats.

Seeing Missing Persons tomorrow night as well as Friday night. It will be good to see Warren again although maybe a little strange at first. And then next week, we are going to try… no we ARE going to see Phantom Planet at the Troubadour. I’ve come to realize I am a Phantom Planet band-aid. I’m not ashamed. I love them.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

Joe is doing an instore this Friday. I’m flipping out!!! I HAVE TO GO!!!

I can breathe a bit easier now… except I’m so excited I feel like I’m a little kid that’s just been given candy. I got my Joe tickets. Was able to get them over the phone. YEAH! You cannot understand how excited I am. It’s not like I haven’t seen him before but this is the Roxy!! A kick-ass small venue where I could get close enough to touch the man and satisfy the 13 year old girl that’s still inside my heart. I might sound a little off the rocker but whatever. That’s me.

Joe McIntyre is coming to the Roxy July 12. I HAVE to get tickets. I just HAVE to. AHHHHHHHHHH!

And Coldplay is doing a surprise show this Sunday at the Wiltern. Tickets go on sale Sunday morning. I just found out and I really want to try and go.

So much has been going on with me it’s a wonder I’m still somewhat sane.

Last week the Moulin Rouge soundtrack came out. It’s incredible. I am going to have serious heart problems when I watch the film tomorrow night.

Last Tuesday was definitely new music day. I bought 4 new cds that were released that day. Weezer, Joe McIntyre, The Go-Go’s and Depeche Mode. I’ve been too busy to listen to any of them except for Weezer and Joe’s. So far, amazing! Joe sounds great and is adorable. Weezer rocks! So glad they have come back.

They’ve been filming a movie near where I work. It’s so frustrating. They filmed in our building a couple of days and one day while we were in the office. They kept telling us to be quiet. I was actually sshhed. I was so annoyed I told the dude whatever and kept talking. Jake Busey is like 8 feet tall. Had to walk past him when I went to the bathroom. And Adam Garcia is pretty nice looking. He was walking around our desks cause I guess he was bored. They both wore horrible outfits. Orange band uniforms or something. The office was so not starstruck it was funny. But it will be neat to see our office in the finished film.

So the official Duran Duran website finally made the announcement that Warren has left and that the original band members are getting back together for an album and tour. I’m still nervous and still feel sad about the whole thing. But if I see Roger Taylor next year, well… I can’t even begin to imagine.

Roswell got cancelled by the stupidest network somehow still alive but got picked up official by UPN. YEAH!!!! There is still hope! And there is going to be a full 22 episode 3rd season! Now I can watch the season finale knowing that. I have to have the kleenex ready cause the preview made me tear up so I know this is going to be emotional to watch. I can’t wait.

Life is so… up in the air for me. Too much is happening and so much is unclear. I miss my love. I know I’m not healthy, emotionally or physically. I am certainly not happy being apart from the man I want to spend the rest of my life with. I just hope that we finally get a little luck and things start going our way for once. But no matter what, I’m not giving up.
