she looks like she used to be happy with the girl inside

Hi. I'm alive.

Went to the Ben Folds/Rufus Wainwright concert last night, and it was so so much fun, complete with my favorite Ben song (My Philosophy) and audience participation on Not the Same. Also, Rufus is awesome. He brought out one of his sisters to sing harmony on Hallelujah and it was so freaking gorgeous. I still can't get over how different his singing voice is from his talking voice, though. It's like two different people. Also, Ben Lee opened, and it was fun and Australian. We were a little disappointed that Ben went before Rufus instead of the other way around, and that they didn't sing anything together (I was so hoping for a little Careless Whispers *g*), but all in all it was lots of fun. And we met up with James and Laura after the show, so yay! Good times.

Today I spent a few hours in DC with Aster and Garrett. It was really far too hot for doing touristy things, but we did spend some time at the Botanical Gardens, so that was good. I really don't go into the city nearly enough any more. I really want to go over to Dupont sometime soon for some gay bar-hopping. Maybe when Megan comes home. :)

Random list for no good reason other than I want to:

Hmmm, I couldn't possibly have any kind of bias, huh? :P Also, yes, I know that three of those are two-parters. I don't care!


Ummm, don't mind me if I start spamming with stupid pointless memes tonight. Cause, I still have some sitting around waiting to be posted.

I was there, too! I couldn't believe how quickly the three hours went by. Excellent, excellent show. And I love the sound at Wolf Trap. I think it makes everyone sound a smidge better. Were you close enough to read what Rufush had written on the back of his vest?

Rufush = Rufus and I can't spell.

The show did seem a whole lot shorter than it actually was, you're right. It was good times all around.

Unfortunately, though, I was way in the back up top, so I couldn't make out what was on his vest, but I really wish I'd been able to, cause I'm sure it was hilarious. :P (also, I think Rufush is a nice name *g*)

Well, considering he said he had "penises" on the fron of his vest, I'm sure it *was* quite funny. :)
