LIFE IN TECHNICOLOR. COLDPLAY

I felt that it was completely necessary to capitalize the title for this one. I had what was quite possibly the best night of my life last night, and not even the creepy foreign man seated next to me could ruin it!

First off.. Coldplay was unbelievable. Absolutely stunning. Better than Dave or Rufus. It also helps that Chris Martin is so undeniably gorgeous. The stands at the Wachovia Center were packed, and Julia and myself were seated... well.. not in the greatest section, but it didn't matter.

We left quite early and arrived around 7ish. We walked around, I bought some merch etc. Then we went in as the first openers came on. Forget the guys name, although he seemed to drop it after every song in an attempt to sell the "limited" number of CDs that he brought with him... SHAMELESS SELF PROMOTION... (He is a Drexel student though) Then Santogold, who started off with L.E.S. Artistes. Wonderful song, I recommend you listen. This was right about the time that creepy foreign man sat down next to me and offered me a beer. After I explained that I wasn't even 18, let alone 21, he commented that he didn't even know if he was allowed to be seated next to me.. strange...

And then...
the lights dimmed..
and Life in Technicolor erupted.

Among the other songs on the set list (and the TWO encores, 5 then 2 songs each) were (pardon me if I forget some..):
Violet Hill
In My Place (one of my favorites, I nearly cry when he sings the "Please, please" interlude thing)
Viva La Vida (to which we had a sing-a-long, as Mr. Martin referred to it)
God Put a Smile Upon Your Face (A very interesting version filled with strange sound effects)
The Scientist (the whole band lept off stage and ran to the back, deciding that they had spent enough time with the people in the front rows, and played it entirely acoustic, accompanied by harmonica)
Yellow
Lost!
42
Lovers in Japan
Yes
Strawberry Swing
Politik
Green Eyes
Fix You
Clocks
Death Will Never Conquer (Sung by the drummer, as promised on their website)
Talk
Death and All His Friends
The Escapist
andddd the Dubliners, which was played at and increasing speed..

Chris Martin, stopping halfway through a song during the encore, apologized for rescheduling the concert, which was originally supposed to be June 29th (which would have really sucked because then I would not have been able to attend). "Oh shit, by the way, sorry we had to reschedule. The label told us that we would need to have nose jobs before the release of the new album and its my fault because I scheduled them that day..."

But yes... I nearly cried 3298751 times that night, out of sheer awe, or just the beauty and amazingness of the music. I have some terrible videos which i probably won't even bother uploading... Maybe one.. Violet Hill is the only semi good one. Not really sure how to use the uploader on this thing, so I'll experiment.

Nahh.. took entirely too long, so I gave up...

So.. look up "Bigger Stronger".. its one of the first songs they ever recorded, and its wonderful.


Well goodnight. I'm tired.

About A Girl.

"It's been very nice wasting time with you, Peter Peders."

Hola. Back again.

Anyone see the Tony's last night? They were spectacular, with the exception of Whoopi as the host... I wasn't really feeling it. In the Heights looks amazing, although I am still eager to see 2007's winner, Spring Awakening. I am disappointed, however, that the original Moritz, John Gallagher Jr., has not only retired from his role, but also quit his band, Old Springs Pike. Sigh...

Did anyone else notice that Cry Baby became a musical!? And then John Waters himself came to introduce the preview?!?! Awesome.

Speaking of the amazingness that is John Waters, I watched an awesome movie today with his Hollywood twin, Mr. Steve Buscemi. Interview stars a whole of two people, Buscemi and Sienna Miller in a crazy alcohol driven movie about, what else, and interview (gone awry). Its pretty much my new favorite movie. The entire time, a journalist and a soap star battle it out on a psychological field, each hoping to gain the upper hand on the other.

But yes, moving on. Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends comes out tomorrow. I'm pretty pumped.

My dad told Julia and I that he would buy us tickets to see Coldplay for our birthday.. SCORE!

Today went pretty good, although I am still hoping to find a job! Fingers crossed everyone.

Peace and Love,

Jackie.

The Wish. Josh Canova

Hm. Life is becoming increasingly complicated. Its annoying, because I swore to myself that I would learn to relax after school ended. HAH. Right.

My brain is fried, I'm unemployed, and currently stuck between two potentially good situations. I honestly have no idea what I'm doing anymore. I hate the way in summer that days seems to bleed together. It makes me anxious and nervous... as if i needed more of that.

Psh. I'll finish this later I guess.

No Tomorrow. The Blackouts

Well. I'm bored. Boring seems to describe my life lately. Sigh.
Prom was the funnest night ever. EVER. Which is probably why this weeks seems so boring in comparison.
Friday, I rushed home, jumped off the bus and ran to Julia's car. Steve had told me I had to be ready by 4:30. Holy shit. Julia drove me to gparentals where Diane was waiting to do my hair. Apparently my hair is really long... she had to tie it in knots to shorten it... anyways. She is a goddess and managed to finish by 3:15. Got to my dad's, shaved and put on my dress. Julia put makeup on my face, because I am retarted and never wear it. And then, I waited. And waited. Julia's date came around 5ish. He's hotttttttttt. Anyways. Steve ended up showing up at like 5:30. Traffic was bad and he got lost at Jesse's. We went back to his house for a good 5 minutes and then went to Carolyn's. Jesse met Bern there and then they went to Hackett's. All of us left around 7:30ish for the prom. Steve and Luke RACED down the street... we managed to slow to around 80 when we went past a cop.. whoops. Anyways, Alex forgot her I.D. so Luke had to stop home. Kayla and her date passed us.. his car has a broken hose for the back windshield.. when he then used to spray Steve's car.. haha.
Got to prom. Took pictures. Then DANCED. The girls looked beautiful in their dresses.. and the boys were so handsome in their tuxedosss. LOS SMOKINGS!
Brendan's afterward. It was fun. I MISS PROM!

Yeah. i really just dont feel like writing anymore. I thought I was in the mood, but nah... maybe tomorrow.

(Insert Here)

The past few weeks have been busy. Duh. Show.
I miss my friends dearly.
Prom is next week! WTF?
My grades are ridonkulous. I was so busy worrying about my Physics grade that I didn't notice how good some of them were.
I'm only 50 pages into Wuthering Heights. Sigh.. its harder to read than I anticipated. But sadly, it is at my mom's right now.. and I hardly have any homework! Gosh! And I'm really enjoying it so far.
I'm just hanging out right now, avoiding a math project (which just for the record, is impossible).
I'm listening to music right now, so I'd like to give you a list of my top ten songs (this list will deff change over time).
In no particular order:

Fake Plastic Trees- Radiohead
Across the Universe- Rufus Wainwright
Hyper Music (or Map of the Problematique)- Muse
The Boy Who Blocked His Own Shot- Brand New
Dead Souls- Joy Division
In My Place- Coldplay
Angel- Massive Attack
The Funeral- Band of Horses
The Boys Are Too Refined- The Hush Sound
With You- Linkin Park

All the 80s songs are starting to get on my nerves. Ugh. If I hear Kids in America one more time, I'm going to snap. People are raving about the show, which is good. I still like it after about 10 times.
Took my AP English essay thing. It was hard, but I hope I got into the class.

God I am just rambling about anything. Maybe I just don't feel like writing right now?
