The INXS concert was everything and more. This was the best I have ever seen them play with JD Fortune. He was on fire! The show was sharp, sound was perfect and even better… it was LOUD. You know it is good if you get in a cab after the show and you cannot hear…
Absolute whirlwind
The past couple of weeks have gone by in a whirl! In a nutshell – – INXS! Post coming up shortly! – The countdown to our trip to Australia is going by so quickly. Everything is planned and our schedule is jam packed. Of course, there are blank days there depending on Collingwood. That is…
Dolly Magazine – 90s love!
Anyone who knows me knows about my severe addiction to magazines. A couple of weekends ago I actually dedicated a good ten hours to catching up on the pile of them that accumulated beside our bed! Living here, in the country of cheap magazine subscriptions is definitely a bad thing for someone like me. Playing…
Are you ready?
The New York Lottery commercial for the past few months has the catchiest tune… and considering you can sometimes hear it four times an hour… it sticks! What is funny is that every time the ad would come on I would say to Bill “That sounds like such an Australian ad!!” Here is one of…
Love. It will decide everything.
Today is the Feast of St Ignatius. This morning at Mass, Father Joe started his homily with a quote from the former Superior General of the Jesuits, Pedro Arrupe, SJ. While this quote was originally meant to be in relation to loving God, as Father Joe said, it can be reflective of loving any one,…
Pinterest Love
Over the past couple of weeks I have become so addicted to Pinterest that it is now the first website I check when I get home. It is like an electronic pinboard where you share your pins with other users. You use Pinterest to create a pinboard of everything you love and then browse other…
In history’s page, let every stage…
I was so emotional yesterday watching Cadel Evans’ presentation at the Tour de France. Tina Arena sang one of the best renditions of the Australian anthem ever. We are so used to the big band anthem that is played everywhere, but this was just beautiful. I think it sounds amazing just as is without the…
Front row, no ear plugs
Ahhh a good concert. Sweaty. Sore feet. Ringing ears. Hoarse voice. I love it all! In a couple of weeks, I am heading back to the Beacon Theatre to see INXS play. Support band? Berlin. Kind of apt considering a few weeks ago I watched Top Gun for the first time! I have awesome seats…
Psst… Pandora hint!
Create a Midnight Oil station in Pandora and prepare to not have to ‘skip’ any songs. It is such a great station! Every song is awesome… I love knowing my favourite music DNA so well. I was using Pandora very early on when they were first getting started and was fascinated by it. Though, some…
Change of Scenery
Before this week, I had never spent a normal workday out of the Financial District. I am doing a week long training course this week which means I am commuting to Midtown. The excitement of this is unparalleled. Lunchtime shopping! Different subway stations! Different surrounds. No Century 21 tourist rampages. Hurrah! At lunchtime I sat…
