seriously u2….what the fuck are you doing? it’s things like that, that make me not like you anymore. atlantic city casino and 40 shows a year, that was cool. spider man musical, not cool.

i got accosted by a guy at work tonight that recognized me from myspace…yikes. hes like, you like nin and are a photographer. yikes. i just looked through all my friends though and i can’t find him. oh cuz he isn’t just “in my extended network” he’s in my real network, my friends list…haha. he asked if year zero was good, cuz apparently he’s a nin fan too – though he thought the last album was the fragile. he was drunk though so, i’ll let that slide. haha. anyway. weird.

i was going to go to cargill tomorrow but now i think i’ll wait til sunday, i dont work until 10 sunday.

bring on round 2. 4 wins down 12 more to go. awriuads ryan miller is so scary though. always falls apart in the 3rd…

hahah from atu2.com so funny

“U2’s latest album will be launched amidst the usual fanfare at midnight tomorrow, but fans hoping for fresh sounds or a hint of experimentation would be best advised to stay under the duvet.

There is a grand total of one new song from Bono and the boys, there’s one re-hash of a punk oldie with Green Day and 15 apparently shameless re-hashes of their own oldies, and not-so-oldies such as ‘Vertigo’ from the band’s previous album.

And the bonus track? It is only ‘I Will Follow’, which you might have bought on the Boy album. Or perhaps on their first Best Of collection a few years back. Or maybe you’re not actually a U2 fan.”

The new track is called ‘Window In the Skies’, while U2 cover ‘The Skids,’ and also ‘The Saints are Coming’ track with American rockers Green Day. You get a DVD featuring “single promo videos” too, which sounds as bad as it is.

now when they say rehash…are they shit remixes like the best of 90s disc? or complete just regular songs repackaged… kate? you know? not really gonna buy it anyway, that new song…um…no thanks. but if they were like acoustic redone versions that would at least be interesting, and not just a 3rd best of.

in other news. i was just at target. and people have tents set up outside in front, waiting for playstation 3. and the manager was outside telling them they’re only getting 8 of them in on FRIDAY….now i’ve sat in alot of lines but none of them involved a tent, or 2 days out in the cold for a friggen video game!

October
And the trees are stripped bare
Of all they wear
What do I care
October
And Kingdoms rise
And Kingdoms fall
But you go on…

… and on…

oh. and zootv came out on dvd so i went and got a copy today. now we wait for popmart on dvd, and i’ll never need the vcr ever again hahah. but also, some part of yahoo video has featured bono’s home movies of “a day in the life of edge” and they are so funny. bono taped them in florida, busts in on edge in his hotel room, makes him get up. i love when bono laughs. they’re funny. and actually, they are exactly how i would expect them to act “in real life”. i love edge. tomorrow, part 3.

from atu2.com “Comment: Matt Cooper: It’s About Time Someone Told Bono Just to Shut Up and Sing” ROFL. i almost passed the article by on my rss reader cuz i’m out of love with u2, but then i was like wait, did that say shut up bono? hahaha too bad the article is about u2 evading irish taxes by moving their publishing company to the netherlands.

one of the nights david was here, the door didn’t latch shut so the cat pushed it open and spent the night wandering the basement and stairway…and now the cat tries to get out all the time, and just did on my way in. chased him around the basement, finally got him back in and he has not stopped meowing for 2 seconds since. SHUT UP CAT!

u2 totally sold out with all these world cup commercials. now i’ve seen a 3rd one, using a 3rd different u2 song…with bono narrating of course. god they’re so pissing me off. no, not u2, just bono. so not interested anymore.

so my grandma is apparently halucinating. she’s still in the hospital. i don’t know if its cancer or not, but whatever it is, in her lungs, it caused one lung to collapse, and then pushed all her organs over to the other side of her body. the lung keeps filling with fluid, and there’s something about painting on teflon to prevent it from filling – i dunno. anyway…she’s halucinating and keeps talking to a little boy named davey, and no one knows who this davey person is supposed to be. she has 19 days to die. this will not interfere with my nin shows. that is cold and heartless and i don’t care.

going to cobblestone for the game tonight. probably just me and phill, unless anyone else wants to come, we’ll be there. jerry is supposed to come by too, possibly with some other people. no one is sure of anything haha. it’ll be fun. i really want a beer. haha

there is this little older asian lady at work who likes me for some reason. she calls me “boo-tee-ful dealer” haha. she was playing with me today and said she lives alone and gets lonely so she comes to the casino and then she gets to play with the beautiful dealer hahaha. and she gave me 70$ and specified it was “for kitty kat” hahaha.

i really don’t know how to explain my relationship with u2 right now. cuz i so totally despise politician bono. and i really don’t care for the last album. and the shows were eh. but i still love 90s u2, and listening to them today, even “all that you can’t leave behind” still makes me happy – er well the first 5 tracks, and new york. new york actually gives me chills because it was so great live. and especially the 2nd version post 9-11. i really do enjoy the first half of that record. coldplay steve copied the vertigo dvd for me but i don’t really want to watch it. cuz i’m just so eh on them right now. gah. but i have thought of a bunch more u2 icons to make haha

dying my hair blueblack…scalp is so totally bright blue. yikes. i really hope i did ok on the back of my neck and there aren’t big blobs of blue skin showing. i dont have a hand mirror to even try to look either.

trent in 1 day!

grammy ramblings

\ by

i’m trying very very hard to watch the grammys. but it is TOUGH. 34 minutes, and the only thing of interest was madonna’s opening, and even that wasn’t that spectacular. coldplay (at least i think it was coldplay) reminds me why i hate the newest u2 records. and did they steal one of edge’s guitars? whoever the black guy was singing “everyday people”…maybe you could think of more words for your next song. ok, alright, i get it, you’re gonna take it slow. move on now. he might have stolen the record for number of pitches in one held note from mariah carey and x-tina. i thought it was going to give me an aneurysm.

and i’m not even looking forward to u2. i really don’t want to see politician bono on his soapbox. bowie is to get a lifetime acheivement award. i think it’s his first grammy ever. i’m not sure he’ll be on the show though…

will edit as the show continues…

oh hey and u2 is on right now. bono doesn’t look too bad haha. they should just come out and do banjo “vertigo” really surprise everyone. and GAH my mom…calls in the middle of “one” just like she called when u2 was on the grammy’s 4th year in college. and wow mary j blige’s voice just does not fit well with bono’s. but it was pretty good. ha they cut them off before bono could say anything.

yay bowie! i’m real glad that these lifetime acheivement awards are getting about 5 seconds of mention.

wow kanye can sort of read. and haha at the pittsburg guy getting booed.

and edge is now my fav member of u2. he just is. and hole ee crap i hate paul mccartney. but helter skelter is alright. would have been better if he invited bono to do it hehe. such a great guitar riff that song…

oh hey, another 5 second acheivement award.

mariah was actually pretty good. it wasn’t the total slutwhore crap she was doing when she went crazy and threw crockery (that one’s for carolyn lol).

so sly and the family stone get a whole song and dance segment for their lifetime acheivement award. i want a bowie tribute. how fun would that be?!? and fantasia from american idol…is she supposed to be the next tina turner? sly had a killer mohawk.

i’ve been distracted since in exploring the library of congress. god i’d love to work there…

so what award did u2 just win? song of the year? sometimes you can’t make it on your own. maybe if no one in bono’s life dies in the next 4 years, u2 will have a better album next time around.

kanye’s little prerecorded blurb about starting the 5 second delay now was pretty funny. the performance sucked.

ok this is beyond boring now….

dream

\ by

i think i had a night terror last night. was having this dream about going to some abandoned buildings near the marine star, but that don’t really exist. and in the dream i wasn’t sure they existed either. but i had a memory of going and hanging out in them with people all the time. they were like the baggage building, just 4 story office building like. so i went down to where they were supposed to be with a few people, and they were there, but very very hidden in tall grass. then there was this feeling of someone coming up behind us, this feeling of dread and impending death. so i tried to wake myself up. i opened my eyes, and i could see that i was in my room and i could see the window. but i was still asleep. i was trying to move my arms to smack myself in the face to wake up and i couldn’t move them, i was paralyzed. but since i was still asleep i was then dreaming that i was able to move them if i concentrated real hard, but they still weren’t moving. tried to move my legs and i couldn’t. totally scary. finally i was able to wake myself up. then i couldn’t go back to sleep for like an hour, i was too scared.

but then i had a dream i was at another u2 show with lei i think, and we were outside the circle against the rail on adam’s side. they did some slower new song, then the band members all come down into the audience. so adam comes down to the corner where the rails meet, and no one is standing there. so we’re like ok we’ll go talk to adam. cuz they come down to just chill with people. or i guess just adam came down, cuz then the band was playing again, but he was still there. so i had nothing to say to him really, but then he asked if he could ask us a question. so we were like sure, and he asked us if we thought the previous slow song was a bad idea for the show. lei said she liked it, but kinda was eh about it. so i was honest and i was like, no it’s not a good move in the setlist, it’s too slow and boring and it kills all the engery. and adam agreed with me and said he tried to tell the rest of the band that, but they wouldn’t listen to him cuz he was just a rock star. lol then they started some song from zooropa and i was like YES A SONG FROM A GOOD ALBUM! ha
