Macarena Stadium

"You skin is as thick as toilet paper."

It's true. I am a sensitive Sally. Keep that in mind and always say nice things about me.

I am getting my hair cut today so I shall no longer look like the girl from the ring. I always think I want longer hair and then when it starts getting long I'm like "what do I do with all of this?" I'm not cutting it short. My boyfriend can breathe a sigh of relief.

Can this soccer crap be over now? I find it funny how many people suddenly care about soccer. I also find it funny that I keep reading Maracana Stadium as Macarena Stadium. HEY MACARENA! AHAI!

In the United States, the song, and its corresponding Macarena dance, became popular during the same week as the 1996 Democratic National Convention. The song was frequently played between activities, and large groups of delegates and other attendants would be seen doing the Macarena dance. The song and dance became such a part of the convention that Vice President Al Gore, having a reputation for stiffness, made a joke about doing the Macarena dance during his speech. He said, "I would like to demonstrate for you the Al Gore version of the Macarena", then remained motionless for a few seconds, and eventually asked, "Would you like to see it again?"

I'm picturing this in my head and laughing my ass off.

Better Than Ezra at the Paradise

When Monica was planning her trip to Boston she asked me if I wanted to see Better Than Ezra with her. I said of course because I love 90s music.

The show was at the Paradise which is one of my favorite venues in Boston. It's small enough to provide an intimate feel but you have a bit of room to move around. We hung out up on the balcony. There was no line at the two bars on the balcony. That's my little tip for you.

The opening act was a little too mellow but Better Than Ezra was pretty good. They incorporated some popular songs into their set as well. I really liked the transition from one of their songs into Royals.

There was one aggravating part of the night when two middle aged men started to get into a fight. Apparently this guy was "standing in his spot" so the other guy shoved him back into the wall practically throwing him on me. Let's just say I had a few choice words for the shover. I have no tolerance for that BS. I was close to alerting security but they ended up stopping before I could flag someone down.

Who knew 90s concerts could get so rowdy.

Remember Better Than Ezra?

My friend Monica is coming to Boston at the end of April to visit and asked if I wanted to see Better Than Ezra with her. The answer of course was yes! I love 90s music.

Better Than Ezra is usually known for their song "Good" but I think this song might be my favorite.

The last 90s band I saw live was Our Lady Peace when Derek and I first started dating. I hope they come around again because that was a great show.
