Christmas Goodies part 2 - The Nutcracker

Greetings from Texas ya'll.

This had to be the best Christmas in years! Usually I do not get into the spirit but this year was different. My brother had an extra ticket to go see The Nutcracker at Bass Hall on Christmas Eve, so since I've never been to a ballet before I was intrigued to go. I've only seen it on PBS and not even the whole thing. I am very familiar with the music however, since I was in Orchestra during highschool. The ballet was amazing, and I was very entertained for those two hours. It went by so quickly. Now I know exactly what a sugar plum fairy looks like. The costume was so so so pretty!

KEANE concert and Elephants downtown!

It's been a long 5 years since Keane came anywhere near me. When they first came to Dallas I was a lot younger, and I couldn't make it out to a show that was 45mins away which started at 11pm. (strict asian parents) I had just begun liking them so I was bummed that I couldn't go but not THAT bummed. So as the years go on for some reason they never came back! It wasn't just big-D though, they only played 2 US cities on the last world tour. How lame! So you know when I got the chance to finally see them live this Monday I jumped at that full speed!

I've only been to a few other band concerts, and they were just "okay" because I was always sitting in the back far away. I told myself I have to be in the pit for every concert I go to from now on. It's just looks like so much more fun and the energy is better. This venue (House the Blues) was sort of small so it was standing room only on the bottom floor. It was great! We got in the center and half-way up to the stage. Times like these though I wish I was a couple inches taller!

I like the fist in this photo. YEAH!

move over Lady Gaga

Weird girl, weird video, GREAT SONG! I think she's big in the UK. She looks like Tilda Swinton.. though you may not know who that is either!

Anyhow, I got this song free on iTunes. It was playing on Cougar Town, and I LOVE IT! My sister has this on a constant loop.
