Randooooom......no shows for 6 weeks

[Kariann]

One of my coworkers just had a small gathering at her house. Her dog was too cute I wanted to leave an hour ago but I felt weird just getting up and leaving while everyone else was still hanging around.

I have a birthday party to go to Friday night and we are going mostly because it appears not many people are so we dont want to back out since it's a surprise thing. Apparently I am the out for A & R since I am going to put in my appearance and leave early since I have to be at work on Sat morning...they are going to leave when I do and then go out elsewhere.

I don't know I have the pay per view version of it where it's played in full so they show every song and they show different views of

not that I would noticed different views of Edge in a video....

But what's the difference?

a) Trying To Throw Your Arms Around the World is included after Numb, before Angel of Harlem
b) editing is quite different with many shots (40% or so?) using different camera angles than that of the video. This broadcast (93) was done before the video (94) and editing is credited only to Dave Gardener, whereas the video release is credited to Tim Waddell, Dave Gardener, Bruce McKenna, so i am guessing they edited from DG's original version adding some video FX and other camera angles. Overall, a tad less frenetic feel
c) while Bono is channel surfing, you see some programs which are cut in the video
d) to meet broadcast time slot of 120 min, there is basically no intro starting almost immediately with Zoo Station. The end credits roll over the last song.
e) when Bono speaks between songs, there are Japanese subtitles

Well according to his last email...he has kickball (what the hell is that anyways? It sounds like something I played in grade school) on Tuesday nights. BUT...he was online last night so :whatever:

Yeah we played kickball in grade school here.

I felt trapped. It was nice but I just wanted to leave....one of them is pregnant and her husband also works there so it's just a bigger deal about her being pregnant then most and everyone just wanted to talk baby talk

that was some fast typing you just did

It all sounds the same as the pay per view minus the Japanese bit but to be honest I don't really pay that much attention to Bono or what he does in that concert outside of

I know....it just sounds like something from my miserable years in elementary school

I hate when the conversation centers around stuff like that. I like the person the party is for and all of that but I hate that it is on a night that I have to go to work the next day and also her boyrfriend rented out a bar and I think we still have to pay for drinks and all of that kind of think. I am meeting CF and a couple people at Brazenhead tomorrow early since it's 3 burger night and I can get a burger and chips and 2 pints for under 10 bucks.

The only thing that's replacing it for a long ass time will be another picture of him that I personally take

A month before the Vertigo tour began I had a dream that Bono brought back at a stadium concert where I was standing front row center from the stage. Best dream ever...

From what I remember its like softball except you kick a ball like those you used in dodgeball instead of batting. We had an even dumber version they called mat ball where the bases were huge mats and you kicked the ball....ran the bases the opposite way and you had to keep running the around the bases until the hit someone with ball and got an out. It was an evil combination of kickball and dodgeball. I once tripped on a mat and fell flat on my face...not on the mat but on the hard floor.

In SD he did say "he's back" during on of the Zoo songs.

I'm completely obsessed with Vertigo tour U2 right now. I'm still dying to watch Red Rocks but I'm saving that for June 5th. I think I'll save Sydney for then too since I rented to both videos for the first time together. Right now all I want is

well until he emails me back and explains what it is...I did ask.....then I think it's a stupid grade school game.

I'm sleeping and my Bono burn is massively peeling.

That sounds awful.

The version of kickball that I played in elementary school was done on the basketball court with 3 bases. The "pitcher" would roll the ball to the kicker, and once the ball was kicked, the outfielders had to shoot a basket with the ball in order for the kicker to be out. Well, unless the kicker safely made it to a base before a shot was scored.

It was....I tried to sit out on mat ball days.

Mine is on my shoulders and making its way down my arms.

My flight to RI is so expensive

 

[arw]

I think only eating muffins and crackers for days did something weird to my system because I've been starving ever since I got home last week

 

[arw]

I think it's time to take care the gigantic pile of laundry that's staring me in the face......

 

[Queen Bee]

Laundry

 

[arw]

I just folded everything and put it away! It's been bothering me for 2 days but I just left it

 

[Kariann]

I think I may call it an early night tonight.
