A is for alphabet, J is for John

bethje and I had wanted to buy tickets to an upcoming Tori Amos concert. There was a presale today, and the tickets apparently sold out within two minutes, so I didn't get any. The website was set up poorly, in that it required you to set up an account BEFORE it searched for tickets, but it didn't tell you this ahead of time. I'm not sure if this really made any difference, but it was still annoying. The even more annoying part was that, before hearing about the presale, I was planning on getting the Pizza Hut lunch buffet, and I ended up not getting any pizza OR tickets.

Work was called off today due to the snow, which is pretty cool, but I don't know that I've really taken advantage of my time off. After the ticket-buying didn't work out, I went to the post office to mail the CDs for the swap at the Frank Black Forum. A few of them were going to other countries, and they made me fill out some kind of customs forms for those. By the time I had finished filling out the envelopes AND these forms, my hand was really worn out. I got them all mailed, though. Then I picked up Beth, whose school let out early, and we went out to eat at Chili's, using the third of the gift certificates that my dad gave us for Christmas.

So, I got Here Come the ABCs, the new They Might Be Giants release. There's a CD and a DVD, but I haven't had a chance to watch the DVD yet, but here are my thoughts on the CD songs, based on at least two listens to each one:

( Go, go, go, go for G! )

In the near future, expect a review of the DVD and an in-store performance, and probably some comments on the new Tori album. I'm listening to that album right now, but I'm only on the second song.

( And now, the results of a political quiz )
