Crowded House tour -- seeing them in two days...quiet little omg
Comments (12)Oh gosh, kim...I'm so sorry. I know it's meager solace, but I'm thinking that if your dear one lived to 18, she loved you and knew you loved her. What more can we really ask for... Feels kind of odd talking about anything else now, but it's very sweet of you to ask about the concert. Since you did, I'll tell you -- it was BEYOND even my expectations. They're amazing. The band was TIGHT and could still jam so well, so much better than I've ever heard them, in fact, it was not like a pathetic "reunion tour" but more like a real band that just keeps getting better and better with age. Neil Finn is what I've decided to call a poet-composer-rocker, not just a songwriter. Our daughter had a blast, as did the many kids (2nd generation Crowdie fans :)) in the audience. We spent the night basically on our feet, dancing, singing...it was WAY better than 2007, which I thought was magical enough for a lifetime anyway. But these guys are *growing*, in their 50s (the new drummer is younger, though), and doing brilliant, innovative stuff that I think is partly influenced by his own son, Liam Finn, who's a growing musician in his own right (as is his other son, Elroy, but Elroy doesn't have quite the track record yet). I've attached a more traditional CH song from the new album, "Twice if You're Lucky"...it is special to me because I think Neil saw me singing it to DD and hugging her (we were only 6th row--the song's written for Nick Seymour, his bassist, and Nick's first child, born when Nick was either 50 or close to it, upending his life as he'd known it, and Neil has two grown sons, so he's moving onto a new phase as well--never just one line of meaning in his songs) and when he finished (we were all pretty much still seated at that point), and I rose to give him a standing ovation, he looked at me straight on and said "thank you"--my DD can verify it--she said "Neil just thanked you". *sigh* :) And finally, in honor of your departed dear one, here's a song by Neil about his dog Lester, that he wrote when he was *14* years old, and he was afraid Lester was going to die when he'd been hit by a car... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cr3u-qBNrCE Makes me cry every time. No, Neil, "us" humans don't have much dignity... Here is a link that might be useful: from the new album......See MoreOMG, I see a deer!
Comments (10)Sounds like they are a couple of jokesters! I've only seen a couple of ground stands for deer. Most of the hunters around here sit up in a tree stand for deer. It's a cold and quiet sport! brrrrr Our local paper has a special edition with everyone's deer and caption with the points/ what was used to bag it. Lot's of tongues hanging out. Awesome antlers too....See Moreomg! must must see!
Comments (15)I've been reading self-help, cleaning and organizing blogs and magazines for years. One thought that stood out "You can't organize clutter." The only way to deal with clutter is put things away where they belong and toss as much as possible on a regular basis....See MoreDid you see Meg Ryan's beach house?
Comments (9)I loved the kitchen too. My first thought was what a job keeping those dark floors clean. We just painted our deck a dark brown, and man that was a mistake. I didn't realize that dark brown shows every water spot, leaf, and I can't imagine how dust, lint etc. would show on those dark floors. I guess Meg isn't going to be keeping them clean, so it's not an issue for her. I am growing tired of all the golds/reds/browns that we see in homes nowdays, so the crispness of white is refreshing to me. I do think I'd add a few pieces of artwork. But the neutral color scheme would allow you to change up the accent colors as the seasons progress. That is something I wish I could do in my house more easily. I'm sortof stuck with the colors I have - not easily changed! :-(...See More- 9 years ago
