PreaChin' To the Choir

Is it weird that I need a filling and I dreamt I had it done, novicaine and all. I swear it felt like my mouth was numb in my dream… Definitely a first.

Probably to walk on the other side where the people actually shoveled!

Dear asshole’s on Hempstead Ave. who haven’t shoveled their walkway,

Thanks so much for making my attempt to be green and conserve energy by walking to the store, equal to a death sentence. B/c of your laziness to do it yourself or hire someone, I had to make one of two very difficult choices: 1) create a new path in the untouched snow, a physically exhausting task or 2) walk in the street, which was even more traumatizing, where I not only had to dodge traffic, but the disgusting snow the cars kicked up as they passed me. So from my bottom of my now, petrified heart, thanks! oh and fuck off!

Ticket Stub Tuesday… Round Twenty-One:

After the first night of seeing the Spice Girls at Nassau Coliseum, @Mchin9 and I were hell-bent on getting tickets for night two. While my concert buddy for round one was @SimTilver, Mandy was at the show too and she and I are the only people crazy enough to see the same show two days in a row. (Actually, I have a feeling that many people did the same thing we did because the show was just that amazing).

It’s hard to imagine that this concert was already two years ago — It feels as though I was just walking through the parking lot to the coliseum with Mandy in the freezing cold. Obviously, we rocked out to the Spice Girls in the car on the way to the venue because that’s what you do when you’re on the way to a concert. You listen to the band’s music in the car on the way there, regardless of when the last time you saw them. Be it two years or 24 hours.

The Return of the Spice Girls was much more than a reunion tour. The concert told a story; there was a narrative that spoke about the history of the group. Everything from their rise to fame, known as “SpiceMania,” to the departure of Geri ‘Ginger Spice’ Halliwell during the Spiceworld Tour of 1998 is covered during the nearly two and a half hour long concert, which is broken into six acts. The six acts include all thirteen of the group’s singles and solo performances by four of the five girls.

Act 1: The Power of Five- “Spice Up Your Life,” “Stop,” “Say You’ll Be There,” and “Headlines (Friendship Never Ends)…”

Act 2: Seduce Me -“The Lady is a Vamp,” “Too Much,” and “2 Become 1…”

Act 3: Bittersweet -“Who Do You Think You Are, “Maybe,” and “Are You Gonna Go My Way…”

Act 4: Supergirls -“Viva Forever,” “Holler,” “It’s Raining Men,” and “I Turn To You…”

Act 5: Celebration -“Let Love Lead the Way,” “Mama,” “Celebration Medley,” and “Goodbye…”

Act 6: Encore -“If U Can’t Dance,” “Wannabe,” and “Spice Up Your Life (Reprise).”

While there was never any doubt in my mind that I would enjoy the show the second time around, I was actually able to enjoy it more this time that the first. On the prior day, I was so consumed with taking photos that I was really watching the concert through my camera. This time around, I had my pictures, so I was able to take in the whole show.
