i got one of those ticketmaster.com announcements in my email for upcoming shows and was curious what kind of tickets are left for Madonna.
The "best available" is at the front of the house in the first section - pretty good - i nearly shit my pants when i saw the price - $340!!!!!!!!!!!!

HOLY FUCKING SHIT - when did concert tickets get so ridiculously expensive?
I mean really - how much money does it take to put on a show?
Thats fucking rape, man - no way no how am i paying that.

Ever.

I mean, talk about alienating your fanbase.
And she cares so much about the "poor" people in Malawi?
That's fucking bullshit.
I'm glad I'm not a 13 year old wannabe anymore cause i'd be seriously disappointed.
Well, i am disappointed but for a whole other reason.

i am still so tired from the weekend
i feel sick and dizzy
when did i get to the point where i need sleep?
gggrrrrrrrrr

the cure show was great!
besides the fact i kept getting waves of exhaustion.
i hate arena shows.
just hate them.
the sound always sucks.
they're always so impersonal and rather hollow.
just kinda disappointing.
but it was still nice to hear old songs that carry such intense old and new memories....

i have some great creative ideas going on in my mind but i'm just too tired to develop them, unfortunately.
plus the work week has begun again and there goes most of my time and energy right there.
but oddly enough during Lullaby last night i got an inspiration for Bono's card that hit me like a ton of bricks and i can't wait to work on that. It combines a new technique i learned for binding a book this weekend with my love of found objects, duct tape and paint. :D

Also just feeling the need so badly to just BE creative.
After this weekend I am infused but without an outlet.
Plus i have sooooooooo much stuff to unpack and reorganize - that in itself could take days if not a week!

I ate like shit this weekend.
It's not the calories and weight i am worried about
i feel weighted down and have a feeling more exhausted than i probably should be cause i'm mkaing my poor body deal with gross food it hasn't had to deal with in a long time - mainly lots of sugar. What is with scrapbookers and chocolate?! I'm too tired to go to the gym today but tomorrow i have kickboxing at noon and will start anew.

I also had this idea during ths Cure show (something about live music sometimes gets my already flowing juices really flowing) about some sort of scrapbooking class/book/blog etc
This weekend it was really apparent to me how much a lot of scrapbookers, myself included 2 + years ago, get themselves stuck into following other people's ideas and getting a little uptight about following instructions to the "t." Like the classes i took it was interesting that people were getting frustrated because they couldn't do something exactly like the instructor and i was just like "do it the way you want it's for you not them and scrapbooking show should be relaxing and fun not frustrating!" And then also the few comments i got about me not planning ahead and just freely throwing shit down on my paper and how others wish they could do that. Anyway, I think it would be cool to be able to harness my, erm, for lack of a better word, sense of freedom, and use it to inspire other scrapbookers. Not sure how to go about this, but perhaps in July when everything calms down a little bit, i can figure out a way.

I'm just dreaming out loud anyways :)

OMGosh - i finally got the ticket mini done!
Inspired by the Art if Found Challenge Blog.
It's been at least a month since i started it!
I've photographed each page so about 20 images behind the cut:

not much new between yesterday and today.
my muscles are just now starting to ache from the kickbox class yesterday.
most specifically my hip joints.

and diet must've messed with my hormones cause i'm finally getting the beginning of my period after 6 weeks. luckily there's no way i could be pregnant and have that scare since eric is neutered.

last night herschel woke us up at 2:30am growling, barking and running around the house - something he virtually never does. he totally freaked us out cause we apparently are indeed a bit on edge from the weekends events of the B&E shooting 3 blocks away. eric turned ALL the house lights on except the bedroom. It took us both probably a good hour to fall back asleep.

i started working on a crafty mini-journal to take on vacation with me. it has motivational quotes and areas for me to write my thoughts. Probably won't be near an internet connection most of the time. But this weekend at Borders I was reading the most fascinating magazine about artists/crafters and blogging. I fucking love the Somerset Studio magazines but they're always so expensive and this one was $15!! So, a couple of the artists profiled mentioned this "altered journal" thing and i've been looking for something to do with all the little bitty bits of paper i have left over from other projects. We'll see how it works.

Get weighed tommorrow. I hope my stupid period doesn't weight the scale down.

Oh, and my old boss asked me to design some monogram notecards for his new stationary line venture, and I must say, I really like what I did. I would TOTALLY buy them :D

He also just sent another job my way - designing a sell sheet for a law firm. I like this extra income thing!

Rhode Island with the parents on Thursday. My mom has just about lost it and I'm not really looking too forward to spending the week with her. She's already called to tell me to bring some "nice" clothes that don't make me look like a whore. I asked when have I looked like a whore? And she said usually i do. But, I don't! I mean, maybe her defination is different than mine, but i don't think any man will be offering me any money anytime soon on the MARTA for tricks!

oh! and i discovered last night via myspace 2 of my favorite bands i have yet to see live, but have wanted to for years, are playing in or near Atlanta in the next month! Teenage Prayers at Star Bar (me and my brother have been spamming them with "play in atlanta" mail) and !!! in Athens. OMFG !!! !!! !!! I am SO ADDICTED to Myth Takes. And have seen some youtube videos and they look like they are a BLAST to experience a show, rather party, with. That's gonna f-ing RAWK!
