A fly can’t bird but a bird can fly

Last night Ronnie and I saw Wolf Parade at the Independent. I must admit that I was not wanting to go by the time I got out of work because I was grumpy and tired. But dinner and a nap helped me get my spirits up. We got there around 10:15 and saw Chad VanGaalen who was pretty good. He did this weird thing with his voice but he had a good sound. And if I say something was pretty good…that means really really good because I was slightly still in the “I am grumpy” mood. Chad broke a string on his guitar but continued to play anyhow. I guess it is a Canadian thing to do that. Wolf Parade rocked my cons off. They are going to be big. Man were they awesome and we were lucky enough to be only in the second row back from the stage, so Ronnie and I could see the keyboardist/singer rain sweat down on the keys. I just hope these guys can hold it together for a few years so they can get the recognition they deserve.

There was an attack at my apartment two nights ago. It happened in the night while Ronnie and I slept…a creature snuck in and feasted on my blood and left pink itchy spots. Yes I got eatten alive by a mosquito. A BIG mosquito because whereever it bit, I had a very strong reaction. The worst of all the bites is one on my left eyelid. My eyelid is now so swollen that it looks like I am Quasimoto from the Hunchback of Notre Dame. I have been wearing my glasses to hide this odd looking reaction of one eye being really open and another half closed. Luckily, only Ronnie noticed it but he has been super sweet to me about it because I feel like a monster. Curse you evil things!
