I went with Maura (and met Johnny there) to see Ben Folds in concert last night here at good ole Geneseo. He was supposed to play with Rufus Wainright but Rufus cancelled at the last minute saying he had bronchitis. That kinda sucked b/c I really like his music and have actually heard his stuff. Well I've heard stuff from Ben Folds Five but it's a one man band now so I'd never heard any of his solo stuff. I didn't know how much I would enjoy the concert but I ended up loving it b/c he is an INCREDIBLE piano player. I mean awesome. He could have just pounded on the keys (which he frequently did) and it would have sounded great. I get awestruck by great piano playing, so that was definitely worth it for me. I gotta go meet Pat for lunch now (well if he remembers) so I'll write more later.

So I'm thinking about changing my blog template, since Joe changed his and it looks totally awesome. I doubt I could get mine to look that good but I could always try. I know my changing colors scheme is all psychedelic and whatnot, but change is inevitable.

There's not much to do when all your best friends are in different states (acchem Angie/Sue) or think you're psycho for wanting to hang out with them (accch...

The Office Showdown Debate

Well....it's not so much of a debate since I have a definite preference, but whatever. So I just finished watched all of the British version of "The Office." It was very funny, and similar to the American version only in the very first episode. All episodes thereafter are completely different. In both there are the weird, trying to be funny but aren't really funny bosses who keep fucking up and think everyone loves them, and the Jim and Pam/Tim and Dawn characters are similar as well. But the things they do on the shows, the entire plotline, their personalities, are much different. That being said, here's a bit more.... What I like about the British Office: --they can talk about sex freely, because it isn't our run-by-religion society --it came first and is therefore automatically cool for thinking up the concept --they say funny words and use funny accents What I don't like about the British Office: --Ricky Gervais' character, David Brent, is almo...
