Love the castes as the lights

On Tuesday, after I got off of work, we headed straight to the Metallica concert. The only reason we were able to was because we bought the tickets as soon as they went on sale, back in April. The concert was so much fun, we had a blast.

It was entertaining to watch the people in the mash pit. There was this petite girl getting thrown around. Eventually, she ended up on the ground. Towards the end of the show, she came back for a little more abuse. There was also this bony kid (which I thought was a girl, until he took off his shirt). He seemed to hit his head hard on the cement ground. People were trying to crowd surf up to the stage, but the guards got them in time.

There was this kid that cam with his parents (he was probably about 18). His parents didn't seem to be into the concert too much, but he was. He took his hair out of his pony tail and started head banging, which is fine, but his hair was really stinky. Boys will be boys. There seemed to be a lot of parents with their kids. I think that's pretty cool that kids are listening to what their parents are still listening to. Metallica played 3 older songs to every 1 of their new songs. We prefer their older stuff (even though I prefer Load or Re-Load and Jason laughs at me).

After the concert, there was this guy selling t-shirts for $10. I always wonder how he can possibly make the shirts for that price. I'm thinking the shorts are pretty cheaply made. We didn't buy any. Metallica gives a great performance with the lasers and fire and moving stage (in a circular motion so everyone gets to see the front of them), I have to say Serje will always be my favorite. I'm not saying that my voice was shot the next day, it defiantly was.

On another note, we got some snow here in Roseville last week. It was very little, but I did wake up to white on the ground and all over my car. That started out my Christmas mood. I've tried...I have decorated the house while listening to x-mas music, and wrapped presents while watching x-mas movies. I even watched one of my favorites...A Christmas Story. Christmas Eve I'll watch Xmas Vacation. We're having a couple early Christmases with our out of town families. This is a super busy weekend. I have to get ready for Jason's graduation on Friday and the early x-mases this weekend (and my house is a mess!).

While I've been cleaning and doing laundry, Mickey has decided to make a new home; the dyer. It's been closer here than normal, and he hates it. I don't blame him, I hate to cold too. I'm afraid that I will lock him in there and not know it. He got into trouble (after I took some cute pictures). Off to do some more busy work. Until Jason's graduation!
