girl, you know that ain't fair

Okay, given the events of last night, this morning, and a whole host of past wrongs gone too long unaddressed, my righteous indignation has seen fit to return to me. Therefore, I rant.

As a parting note, fuck you, TicketMaster. Fuck you and your fleecing ways, fuck you for charging another $19 for delivery that will cost the price of two fucking postage stamps, fuck you for not accepting the passwords of legitimate fan club members, and fuck you again just on principle.

Just, fuck. *kicks Monday*

you nearly had me roped and tied

Onto a real update. I've finally bought a digital camera - Pentax Optio 555, and that's a whole lotta camera for comparatively very little money. There's nothing like a good deal to brighten any day. People got their ticket situations ironed out so thank goodness on that, and I'm officially all out of coherence, so a list it is.

- Very happy birthday salutes to runerinrun!

- Despite my own set of TicketMaster troubles this morning, I called and reconfirmed and everyone I was buying for has tickets.

- I'm itching for this alleged "dirty" version of A.D.I.D.A.S.

- The prospect of the Celebrity DVD being bought by Steve Fatone's production company and finished/sold that way (as suggested by lisachasez) is a heartening one. *crosses fingers*

- wearemany's comments on JC's Sunset show made me remember to mention this - "...a thing that simultaneously impresses me and freaks me out about JC's live shows is how he hits exactly the right note the right way at the right time every single performance I've ever seen..." I've been to many shows where the live thing didn't come close to living up to the album, and given that I've been tested to have near-perfect pitch, notes being on-key is something I'm sensitive to. He invariably nails it - "...he can do jumping jacks for an hour and still hit every note he wants."

- Came by some anecdotes about JC from someone in his band that, while didn't surprise, made me all 'Aaaw!' in the midst of my chaos of a morning, and I'm very glad his respect/treat people as you want to be philosophy has brought him such likewise good, loyal company.

- The audition call/retraction for dancers for a fall *NSYNC reunion tour was an interesting blip on the radar. My hopes, despite my last post, continue to spring eternal.

- This was too cool. From scot_ty: "Valentine was talking to the lead singer of Maroon 5 about their new album and about playing in front of a crowd as big as the one at the Rose Bowl [at Wango Tango on Saturday]. The guy was very well-spoken and very down to earth about their level of success, that he was kind of overwhelmed today. Then he stops talking all of a sudden, in the middle of the interview. When he starts talking again, he says, totally unsolicited, Chasez's out there right now tearin' the place up." Also, Kevin apparently grooved to one of his songs as the rest of the Boys looked on. Famous fanboys make me squee.

In other news, today is over, and really, that's happy thought enough to make me fly.
