I have been doing "hit and runs" on LJ and a couple of other sites. But there is no time, OMG! What the Hell people? When did I become one of those old people lamenting that "old time is still a-flying"?
Le boohoo.
But on to the good news. George Michael concert was FAB-U-LOUS!!! He put on a Hell of a show, with band mounted on three tiers, lots of pretty pretty graphics, and dancing. Lord, how there was dancing! I think I sat through three songs, tops. Most of the auditorium was up and shaking their money-makers. Every where I looked, there were people in the aisles dancing and yelling and singing along. Totally awesome. He sang old stuff and new stuff and best of all, he sang my favorite song!!! Hooray! He was in great voice and honestly, I don't know how he still moves like he does, but dude had ENERGY.
The trip itself was hilarious. Basically, it was Nay-nay, Danny, and myself, all taking the piss out of each other. Sure, sometimes it was tedious and Nay-nay can be difficult on trips, but I've known this couple for the better part of 20 years and the humor and memories will always win over anything else. We went to the Kemah Boardwalk, which is basically Landry's idea of an amusement park (a few rides, some old-fashioned shops, and about 7 seafood restaurants with strangely similar menus). It was nice and I even had an embarrassing Idol/David Cook moment. They played his treacly Time of My Life song on the radio blasting throughout the park and I basically grabbed Nay-nay's arm and squealed. Because I am sad. And there is no hope for me. Fly, you fools!
Anyway, we ate lots of seafood and wandered around the Galleria in Houston (tres swanky), and some guy tried to sell us $10 knockoff concert t-shirts outside the Toyota Center when we were leaving. All in all, a good weekend!
Work is, unfortunately, still work. But my boss is gone this week and next, so I might actually get some stuff done! wOOt!

I am loooving Heart in a Cage (Strokes, *squeal*) and If the Sea was Whiskey (I love the drawn-out sound of lyrics and music - makes me think of someone draaaging that song behind them).
