I Like Concerts And Awards Shows
you folks who’re going for the Java Jazz Fest this weekend can stop making me feel all dark and twisty inside now. my itinerary for March :
3rd March Saturday - Fall Out Boy
12th March Monday - Yo La Tengo
13th March Tuesday - Jaga Jazzist and The Observatory
15th March Thursday - The Album Leaf
17th March Saturday - Rachael Yamagata
i am SO excited!!! not to mention extremely relieved i managed to get tickets for them all. the only damper to it is that i have to travel back and forth between singapore and KL after each act. why? to attend my classes. because for every class i miss, 1% gets deducted from my final grade. and i cant stand the idea of that happening. yes, i know. my defence for being the most insufferable kiasu ever is that i need to somehow make up for getting that B+ in English. i mean, who the hell gets a B+ in English???
and no, this post will not contain a ’see! all the good acts go to Singapore wan, Malaysia has nothing wan’ complaint. because i’m not like that. and because Muse just left our shores yesterday. and because once upon a time, granted it was a long time ago but still, we had Incubus on our humble soil.
i just watched an hour of the Oscars and was bored to tears. but i do think that Ellen Degeneres is an excellent host. though not sidesplittingly funny the way Chris Rock is (oh i loved the 2004 Academy Awards), she provides that comfort and that ease we all look for in a host. she was born to be onstage.
totally unlike that bumbling fool who hosted the LA Red Carpet Party for this year’s Oscars. Dominic something or other. did you guys catch him??? oh my god he said the stupidest things. my favourite : ‘we have so many models walking around tonight, oh there’s … what’sherface… Cate Blanchett!!’
and another : ‘let me just recap the nominees for Best Film tonight … um .. er.. er .. oh, look! George Lucas is waving at me. waving at ME!!!’ uh-huh, sure he is.
okay i am now going to try to forget the fact that Babel, a movie i absolutely loved, won virtually nothing at this year’s Oscars. i will do so by drowning myself in the best ever peanut cookies and pineapple tarts in the world. and you will not stop me.
