| I just got back from the best concert in my life:
Ben Folds at the Nokia Theatre, Grand Prairie.
We (Ryan, Chris and I) got there a bit early and had to wait, but it
was well worth it. We met up with Bridget and Alex Heika. When we
finally got in, we went all the way down to the bottom and were the
first ones down there, so we were leaning against the stage. The
Fray played a set first and they were pretty good. They brought
fake trees and bushes onstage with them for some reason; it was pretty
funny. The lead singer gave me his setlist as he was leaving. They played:
1. How To Save A Life
2. Dead Wrong
3. All At Once
4. Heaven Forbid
5. She Is
6. Have You
7. Cable Car
8. Look After You
After that, it was on to the goods: Ben Folds came out finally! The set he played was:
(* indicates songs that were played with his band. Others were solo.)
1. Gone*
2. Trusted*
3. There's Always Someone Cooler Than You*
4. Bastard* ("Many people have incorrectly said that this song's about a young
conservative. This isn't true...it's about...well....it's hard to
explain...but...it's about a...psyco. Wait...no, a cycle. Like a
mountain bike. Or a Harley. This song's about a Harley." As he started
singing, he sang: "The old bastard left his wife and his--wait...that's
not right.")
5. Jesusland* (when this song started, I shouted "Play the rock version!")
6. Jesusland (Radio Version)*
(he said "Didn't someone say they wanted the radio version?" and I
nodded and waved and he played it! First request of the night!)
7. Rock This Bitch (Freebird version)*
8. Still Fighting It*
At this point, his stool got messed up so the roadie came out to fix it
and he played on his knees. He was talking about being in
Texas, so I yelled "Play us a Texas song!" and he did! Second request!
9. Long, Tall Texan* (Lyle Lovett cover)
10. You To Thank*
11. "Girl, We Can Do Anything"* (not an official title, but those were
the first lyrics he used. He said that he made it up during the
sound check.)
12. Annie Waits*
13. Landed*
14. Bitches Ain't Shit* (During this song, I made a sign that said "PLAY MORGAN DAVIS" and he saw it and winked and nodded.)
15. Fred Jones, Part 2
16. Evaporated
17. Emaline
18. One Down (I again held up the "PLAY MORGAN DAVIS" sign, and he nodded again.)
19. Brick
20. Army (he split the audience into a 2-part "horn section")
21. The Ascent Of Stan*
22. Zak And Sara*
23. Rockin' The Suburbs* (w/o bass solo  )
24. Not The Same* (with audience participation; he split us into a 3-part harmony)
25. Philosophy* (Inc. Misirlou)
[encore] (when he came back, I held up the "PLAY MORGAN DAVIS" sign
again hoping it would be his encore, but he shook his head and waved
apologetically. Grr.)
26. Narcolepsy*
27. One Angry Dwarf And 200 Solemn Faces*
Wow, it was amazing! Ben handed Chris his setlist when he was
finished! Then we rushed to the back of the venue outside, in
hopes of meeting Ben. After a few minutes of waiting, Jared
Reynolds (his bassist) came out and started talking to me and a few
other people, including Chris, Ryan, Bridget and Alex. We
actually had a 5-minute conversation with him, and he signed my
ticket. As he was leaving, he told us his MySpace name and to
send him friend invitations. After that, Ben Folds and Lindsey
Jamieson (his drummer) came out! Lindsey said he recognized us
from the front row, and he signed my ticket, and then I moved on
to Ben Folds, who by this time had a huge crowd around him. I
finally got to him, though, and he signed my ticket and my Rockin' The
Suburbs CD. I also got a picture with him and shook his
hand! I was wearing Ryan's "Nerd Core" shirt with the nerdy
glasses on the chest, so Ben Folds took off his nerdy glasses (almost
identical to the ones on my shirt) and held them to his chest.
Gah! I'm freaking out!
PROOF:
It's late, so I have to go to sleep, but I will post the pictures hopefully tomorrow!
I MET BEN FOLDS!
Ok, for real this time, I'm going to bed.

| I just saw the preview showing of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire!
Don't worry, I won't give anything away (to those of you who havn't
already read the book, I frown upon you) but I can tell you it was the
best one yet, by far! I was worried at first that they might have
tried to tone down the dark themes and violence, but it turned out to
be pretty accurate to the book. Of course, many subplots were
left out and the plot was changed in a few places to keep the story
moving, but everything important was left in. The Death Eaters
were creepy. They looked like members of the Ku Klux Klan.
You-Know-Who was even creepier. There was also plenty of humor,
but not too much (watch for the way Filch runs). I'm still
excited that I just saw it! Gah!

| I always knew we had a bug problem here at the Justice house. No
matter how many times we spray, they just come back. But lately,
we've been having a lot of spiders. I've always hated spiders, but
tonight was the last straw. I walked in my bathroom to brush my
teeth, and I turn around to leave and this HUGE spider is right there
in the doorway, blocking my exit! I mean, this thing was
huge! With its legs, it was about as big around as the thickest
part of a coke can. Ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew
ew. The part that scared me the most was not knowing how long it
had been there after I entered the bathroom. So here I am,
standing in my tiny bathroom with a large spider blocking the
door. I decided to run towards the door and jump over it.
*shudder* Now, I'm scared to fall asleep in my own house.
Now, every time I have a little itch, I think it's a mutant spider on
me. *Gah* *Ick* *Ew* *Ugh*
Go ahead and make fun of me. But you didn't see the thing.

| Some of my favorite movie quotes. See if you can tell me which movies each of these is from (they should be pretty easy):
(1)
Person 1: ...let me preface this by saying your Iowa test scores are
intimidating... So, let's go over this again, what exactly did you say
to [name]?
Person 2:
[interrupting] I'll tell you what he said - he asked me to forcibly insert the Lifeline exercise card into my anus!
(2)
Person 1:
Son... DO YOU SEE THIS? This is an Anger Prisoner. A textbook example.
DO YOU SEE THE FEAR, PEOPLE? This boy is scared to death of the truth.
Son, it breaks my heart to say this, but I believe you are a very
troubled and confused young man. I believe you are searching for the
answers in all the wrong places...
Person 2:
You're right, actually. I am pretty- I'm, I'm pretty troubled and I'm,
I'm pretty confused. But I... and I'm afraid. Really, really afraid.
Really afraid. But I... I... I think you're the fucking Antichrist.
(3)
Person 1: Why should Caesar get to stomp around like a giant, while the rest of
us try not to get smushed under his big feet? What's so great about
Caesar? Hm? Brutus is just as cute as Caesar. Brutus is just as smart
as Caesar. People totally like Brutus just as much as they like Caesar.
And when did it become okay for one person to be the boss of everybody,
huh? Because that's not what Rome is about. We should totally just STAB CAESAR!
(4)
Person 1:
You didn't think it was gonna be that easy, did you?
Person 2:
You know, for a second there, yeah, I kinda did.
Person 1:
Silly rabbit.
Person 2:
Trix are for...
Person 1 and 2:
...kids.
(5)
Person 1: Welcome to the desert of the real.
