Last night I got a terrifying phone call from Alanis who was very upset about my comment on her concert in 1996 - she said she was pulling her hair out because of the girl in the back who didn't understand her (namely me)...
How did Alanis get my number and why did she say she was watching me?

I want my money back
On my ride to work this morning, the radio station was talking about Concerts that were so bad that people wanted their money back. So, I was wracking my brain to think of any that I would have requested a refund.
I consider myself a connoisseur of concerts - I LOVE LIVE MUSIC- So, I would go and see Andrea Boccelli just to enjoy the live music (okay, maybe not, but you get my point).
Last weekend I went to see The Rock And Rebels Tour w/ Lynyrd Skynyrd and Kid Rock. I didn't have too high of hopes for this show, but let me tell you, it was awesome. I found out THAT DAY that Neil Diamond was playing at Fenway and was wicked bummed that I hadn't gotten tickets for that show. Today, however, the radio was saying that the show sucked, so I feel better. Nonetheless, the Kid Rock show made me a fan- what a performer and to say I heard Free Bird and Sweet Home Alabama performed live is something that I will remember for as long as I can.
So, I was thinking because I have seen the Dave Matthews Band perform 10 times - and they are a different type of show. They jam, they don't really interact with the crowd. I love their music so much, as they are my favorite, but what a difference a show makes when the performer INTERACTS with the crowd and drops references to the location in each song. I mean, Dave talks but sometimes you can't understand what he is saying... SO NOT DISSING DAVE as I HEART HIM MORE THAN WORDS CAN SAY - but it is such a different perspective to relate his shows which I have seen so many times to someone else.
I have seen Aerosmith three times and each time their show gets better and better. The first time I saw Aerosmith was just to see Lenny Kravitz open up for him -and what an amazing night that was. The night before the show Lenny Kravitz' father passed away and the show still went on - he dedicated a song to his dad - let love rule- and walked thru the crowds at Mohegan Sun just singing his heart out. SO TOUCHING...
I have seen the Monkees three times and Davey Jones twice - and both times seeing Davey Jones I got to meet him - the last time he kissed me on the cheek - Oh ya... Oh, and when I saw The Monkees perform the last time, GREG BRADY opened up for them and he even wore the Johnny Bravo Jacket. FOR REAL!
I have seen Van Halen with Sammy Hagar once and then Sammy Hagar alone doing his Cabo Wabo tour thing - and he is a showman.
So, I guess the only show I would ask for a refund for would be Alanis Morrisette. I am a huge fan of hers, but when I saw her in 1996 she performed for an hour at UNH and she was pulling her hair out of her head and it was just odd. Yes, she was new on the scene and it was her Jagged Little Pill tour, but it disheartened me on concerts. Nonetheless, I didn't let that one show change how much I loved her music, and still do.
I have tickets for Farm Aid coming up September 20th - which will be Dave Matthews, John Cougar Meloncamp, WILLIE NELSON and Neil Young - can't wait to see that show. Kenny Chesney is performing - I would like to hear She thinks my tractor is Sexy but that's it - but allegedly the Allman Brother's might be there as well as Alison Kraus and Robert Plant - to say I saw a part of Led Zeppelin perform would be KICK ASS. I will keep you posted.
Please comment on any shows you disliked that you would want your money back, I would love to hear.

Snakes in my Office
NO LIE - I got up and walked to the printer and I noticed this thing on the ground - and thought to myself, "Hmmmmmm, that's an odd looking rubber band" when I walked back after thinking about it realizing I don't think rubber bands look like that, and after further inspection I turned into a 7 year old girl and was like, "OH MY GOD IT'S A SNAKE" and the riot ensued.
A guy came and picked it up and moved it out of the office - but I seriously want to quote SNAKES ON A PLANE AND SAY, "IF I SEE ONE MORE EFFEN SNAKE IN MY MOFO OFFICE, I AM GONNA EFFEN SCREAM".
Now I think that there are creepy things slithering over my toes and up my pant legs. To quote my Yoda, I am tough as nails, but snakes aren't meant to be in the office. Plus, as a child I stepped on a snake bare foot, and while I am not afraid of snakes, I just don't want to touch them...
Gives me the willies.
I know, I am a sally.
"Enough is enough! I have had it with these motherfucking snakes on this motherfucking plane!"
(this is the actual line from the movie)

road trip to Yankee Candle
I like to blog every day - I don't really have much to say today other than the fact that I love my new apartment.
I went to storage and got a few things - only one casualty - a shoe (or two) FLEW out of the car while I was pulling out of the storage facility. Oh well, Didn't need them anymore.
I unpacked and put away every thing I brought in - and now I am ready for more.
I think this is the biggest one bedroom apartment I have ever lived in and it costs the least. Go figure. I found my camera, now I just need to find batteries and I will post pictures of the place.
Sadly - there was another casualty in my move and maybe, if anyone ever needs to get storage, they should take this to heart - ALL OF MY YANKEE CANDLES MELTED. Note to self next time if I am going t0 stow my candles that they need to be up right. Luckily two out of the three had seen better days before the move, but one had been retired, I may need to ask them to order it for me because Granny Smith is the best candle ever. However, one of the candles had never even been burned and now the wick is MIA.
Oh well. Feel free to donate any Yankee Candles to the Katie Mills Fund

dumbfounded
First off, isn't it amazing how sometimes you hear these words over and over again but you don't really know what they mean. Sunday, at Target, in their $1 bins, they had this TODAY I AM magnet board with all the little miss and Mr. Men (which I loved when I was a kid) and I have aways wanted one of those mood magnets. So, I was looking at it wondering which mood I was today - and for the record there is no MR. Nosy on there (which was my favorite one)... There is a Little Miss Fickle - and I realized I couldn't tell you what fickle means... So, I went to my favorite website (Dictionary.com) did you know that fickle means:
1.likely to change, esp. due to caprice, irresolution, or instability; casually changeable: fickle weather.
2. not constant or loyal in affections: a fickle lover.
Secondly, I am dumbfounded at how wonderful people can be when they face adversity. I don't know how to explain this without being a bitch - so I am going to do my best and provide an analogy using Casey, my big, fat cat as the principle role.
(this is harder than I thought...) Say while I was at work I got a phone call that my friends Cyn and Carianne could no longer keep my big, fat cat anymore. That they were tired of dealing with him and they are giving me two weeks notice to find someone else to take care of him. In doing so, I would have to change my whole work schedule sacrificing my own free time just to take care of said fat cat... But I never got angry or anxiety ridden, I just knew what I had to do and made these sacrifices without a second thought due to the importance of my fat cat, who is like my baby. (DISCLAIMER- Cyn and Carianne would never be so callous about Casey as they love him deeply).
This type of reaction to adversity (which I looked up too) just leaves me in awe that people can react appropriately without flying off the handle or crying or whatever people do - and just know what is right and good. Amazing.

Top reasons why it is awesome to be a lesbian ...
So, I was in the shower this morning thinking of the reasons why it would be awesome to be a lesbian. DISCLAIMER - this doesn't mean that I have changed my mind on the importance of penis in my life, it just means that I think certain things would be easier for me, in general.
- I would never have to worry about getting pregnant from intercourse
- Birth Control would be null and void
- Twice the wardrobe/less hassle getting ready for work because double the clothes
- Girlfriends wouldn't be jealous of you hanging out w/ their boyfriend
Okay - so basically I wouldn't have to worry about impregnation or birth control is what I am getting at. I would say - just take everything out - I am not using it for procreation...
If you think of any others please feel free to comment - that is just my 2 cents worth
