Ok, I was dumb and I navigated away from my blog without saving. I don't feel like retyping my short review of "Just Who the Hell Is SHE Anyway" by Marisa Acocella, so I'll just put that it was interesting, but the ending left me feeling a little gypped. Sunshine Cleaning also left me feeling somewhat the same though it wasn't quite as captivating. The little boy, was pretty smart, but he didn't know how to behave. The two girls can't seem to keep a decent job, so they start their own business, which is illegitimate for most of the movie. The younger of the sister's has issues with their mother's suicide, despite not remembering much about her or the event. The dad does a lot of fly-by night stuff. At one point I thought he was going to commit suicide. The older sister who has the little boy, is sleeping with a guy she dated in high school, but is married and is expecting his second child. She has a problem with self-esteem and what people think of her. She does eventually find herself with the business and eventually stops seeing the guy. There is the prospect of another guy being interested in her, but nothing seems to come of it. At least they sort of just leave it. At the end they have their revelations, yet the kid still hasn't been in school for weeks at least and suddenly the father decides to help the business. Wtf.
The good part of this post starts here!
I went to my first concert on Thursday night! I have gone to Rock Fest and Country Jam before, but that isn't the same. So, I got tickets to see Ok Go with Larry! We had some Jimmy Johns and then made our way there around 6:20ish. Doors were supposed to open at 7, but we were stuck waiting out in the cold until about 7:20. There were several people there, but it wasn't overly crowded. There were people sitting on the bleachers, which Larry told me was weird. I also agree even though I had never been to an indoor concert like this before. We were pretty near the front. I am ridiculously short so I couldn't see anything a lot of the time. Also there was a girl who needed to always be in front of me and whip me in the face with her hair. I totally wanted to deck her. She eventually moved, and then another girl took her place and the same thing happened again. I never wished so much for a scissors in my life. The concert was great. The opening act was Princeton, and along with their stupid name they weren't that good. Their first song was descent and really promising, but it pretty much went downhill from there. OkGo played several songs from their album that will be coming out soon. I plan to possibly buy it. The lead singer is not the guy in the glasses that the music videos lead you to believe. The lead singer is a self-proclaimed sarcastic asshole. I like him. He can play guitar a heck of a lot better than the guys in Princeton, who just sort of mash on the strings during a solo. Also, I like the sarcasm and his laid-back nature. He's also rather good-looking. >.> Anyway, it was loud! They did a nifty song with hand bells. I found it very entertaining and I giggled a lot. I did not have much room to dance and the crowd was not very responsive, which was a bummer. Larry enjoyed the concert as well. We saw some people we know there. We didn't stay afterward, though I think the band was going to do a meet and greet sort of thing. I could be wrong. My first concert experience was a good one. I look forward to more. Next time I will not bring such a bulky purse or jacket, and I will either bring a scissors and cut the hair off of girls in front of me, or push my way to a better spot. I would like to attend another OkGo concert in the future.
