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:

Top 10 favorite West Wing episodes

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.

Rufus rocks--I wish I had seen him live!

I hate to say it, because I find jealousy a deplorable feeling, and yet, I'm SO JEALOUS of you seeing Rufus and Ben!

One day I'll be rich and will travel to foreign land to see them live. And I'll bring my sister with. *vows*

Also. I have JUST finished watching Debate Camp. Like, 15 seconds ago. I LOVE THIS EP OMG! [also, my Top 10 TWW ep list looks a lot like yours, except Celestial Navigation ranks higher up. *g*]

Man, Ben Folds in concert, is there anything better? *g* I would be jealous, except that I've seen him live myself and it was one of the best live performances I've ever been to :) Sounds like you had a good time, anyway, talk to you later.

I agree with so much on your list, but I'd have to have The Midterms on it, if only for that final scene. Favoritest TWW scene EVAR!

I wanted to ask you if I could mooch off you a little more and upload some stuff for evemac (if I ever find it)? I'd be ever so grateful. =)

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?
