sarah: “i’m pretty anti-social these days.”
carter: “you say that, but every time i call you you’re never home. you’re in new york watching a no-hitter, or doing a triathlon, or at a matchbox twenty concert.”
sarah: “hmm. yeah.”
i managed to cram an impressive amount of activity into about 8 hours last night. becca came over at 7 and we headed up to the compaq center for the matchbox twenty concert. we arrived in the middle of sugar ray’s opening set. they were entertaining enough, but the real fun was when matchbox twenty took the stage. they were awesome. i wasn’t all into him before, but after watching rob thomas perform last night i have a newfound appreciation for rock stars. whoa. he was great, the band was great, the songs were great, la la la. i think my favorites last night were “so sad so lonely” and “bright lights”…though a quiet two-person performance of “if you’re gone” was pretty amazing as well.
i wanna be a rock and roll star.
after the concert, i’m embarassed to admit that becca and i went to barnes and noble to see if we could buy a copy of the new harry potter book. we arrived to find a huge crowd, and were quickly informed that if we hadn’t preordered, they were sold out. hmm. at this point, despite my embarassment, i had talked myself into really wanting the book last night, and of course becca (the consummate adult harry potter fan) did as well. so we decided to hit the 24-hour walmart up the road, where we hopped in line at 11:45 and left half an hour later with our copies. hurrah.
from there we stopped by the bowling alley to say hi to a large group of people, and somehow ended up taking chris and jim home. on the way back, they all began to pointedly comment on how hungry they were, so we ended up at waffle house (where else??) at 1:30 in the morning. after coffee and hashbrowns and eggs and waffles, i finally got home to read a couple chapters of harry potter and finally fall into bed around 3:30.
i was awoken at 10:30 by a phone call, but for once i didn’t mind being woken up. i felt pretty rested, considering. this afternoon i had a pedicure and now my toenails are bee-you-tee-full.
ah. this is my life. craziness interspersed with calm.
