Here are some bands/artists I would like to see. 

This list includes bands that are possible to see live, but also includes those that are impossible to see live (breakups, deaths, years I wanted to see them, etc.). 

The list will be updated when I think of more bands.

Regular text = Possible
Italicized = Impossible through break-up, death, or wrong decade

I know there are many bands I have forgotten that I have seen over the years, but here is what I remember, plus new stuff.  This entry will get updated every time I see more bands.

ITALICIZED = Kenny Crucial attended (started tracking 2009)

I am the laziest blogger on Earth

To Blog or Not To Blog.jpg

Seriously, I have all these ideas in my head that I think would be great, but then real life takes over and I never get to any of them to the point where if I DID actually start, I'd be so far behind I won't do it. Such a blogging conundrum.  But I really want to try to be a better, more regular, blogger.

Here are my ideas for regular segments on the blog:
  • Continue my regular entry updates for fanfics - rated, reading now, to-read, etc.
  • Restart my concert reviews (starting with The English Beat/Fishbone show I saw on Friday)
  • Start a new segment for reviewing the fanfics I have finished reading so people actually know WHY I rated them the way I did
  • Start a new segment for highlighting a song a week whether it is for the song itself, its lyrics, or because it spoke to me that week
  • Start a new segment reviewing new music I have bought
  • Restart my SYTYCD blogging when Season 7 starts in May.
Now I don't want to be one of those generic blog sites that all have the same new hipster information.  Really, I didn't start this because I wanted to become famous (although I love seeing that someone has found me).  I blog because I sometimes have thoughts in my head that I want to get out.  I like to just be honest and write about things that speak to me or my passions. 

So, let's see if I can drag myself away from reading Twilight fanfic long enough to make these aspirations come true.  =)

Dancing Devo

| 2 Comments

As many of you know, my sister auditioned for SYTYCD three seasons ago and they actually showed her audition on TV.  I'm sure she was shown mostly for the comic relief of her standing while Pat Benatar's 'Barracuda' roared over the speakers and her not dancing.  Well, she didn't dance because that wasn't her song and in competition etiquette, you stand politely until someone figures out that isn't your music. 

However, she was also shown because she's a great dancer.  SYTYCD may not be her venue, but her talent will take her far in whatever she chooses to do. 

This audition was shown first for the whole season which also garnered her a lot of attention the night it aired.  I am also posting the whole performance with the music she actually performed to when she auditioned (yes, SYTYCD does change music when your music doesn't clear).



You can see more of her videos (dancing or concert videos) on her YouTube Page.

I never posted this before because YouTube has muted her video last year. Yesterday I figured out the audio was back and decided to share the video with everyone.


Organizing the fanfics - Pt 2

Twilight-drawn anime style.jpgSo I created an ongoing entry to keep all my fanfics organized, but even that seems to be becoming overdone.  I'm trying to decide how I really want to organize everything within this blog without it getting confusing for anyone to find what they're looking for.

Ideas:
-Continue as I have been
-Create duplicate entries of the same info, just updated
-Keep separate lists for the things I've read and "rated" versus what is on my To-Read list
-Write reviews for the things I just finished to coincide with the rating I have given it (but only if they are completed).

It'll probably be a work in progress until I figure it out.
