Chris Isaak - Doing the best he can.

I had a pretty bad week with work so I was so looking forward to the weekend. Me and Mr went to see Chris Isaak on Saturday night at Wolverhampton Civic Center. My first album Forever Blue was a gift from a friend 10 years ago, and ever since I was hooked on Mr Isaak. It was such a treat to watch him live, even hubby enjoyed every moment of it. He commented on how great Chris was to 'engage' with his audience. Funniest part was when Chris said along the line of "I know you folks were told that you were not allowed to take your camera or pictures out there when you got in,... but I didn't dress up like this not to have my pictures taken" - we earlier commented how annoying to go to some gigs/concert and now allowed to take a few pics of your favourite artist as a momento. So we thought that was such a nice considerate thing he did.

And just as I thought things could not have been better with escalations of one after another awesome performance, Chris flicked something before he left the stage onto the audience, hitting straight onto my chest then onto the floor - hubby picked it up and it was his yellow guitar pick! I know he has probably done the same gimmicks with every concert for decades. Nevertheless all the credit to Mr Isaak, he sure knows how to make the fan feels special. Certainly made me grin all the way home :D. Shame we had to rush back home that evening, would have stick around with some others to meet the man himself for an autograph (or two!). Hopefully there'll be a next time ;).

Hilarious, genuine legendary superstar. Chris Isaak, you rock my world!

Today started at 1130am :D. I don't normally 'sleep in' on weekends but didn't have a good sleep last night. I dreamt something that wasn't pleasant, although I didn't remember waking up in between. And without N here this weekend, I have no one to annoy and bully too early in the morning. *sobs*

For some reason Nickelback's song Savin' Me seemed to got stuck in my head now. I first heard the song cover by Ana Free on youtube. She's this Portuguese born American accent girl who posted quite a lot of videos of herself playing guitar and singing on youtube. Nice voice, lovely face, 'dontcha wish yer gf was hot like me' kinda physique. Just the lot really (honest, I'm not jealous heehee..). Anyways her version was slow and justsweet. N laughed when he heard it and showed me the original song by Nickelback. He said she killed the song, mocking her version (tensen betul). At first I absolutely dislike it, I hate headbanging type sounds but eventually the original seems to hook on me better now. Plus, the original video clip is interesting, spooky but in a clever way. If you've not seen it before, check it out here.

Ana Free's version here; (ok i just realised i don't know feck about adding links in lol!hope it works) .


So, watcha think? Any preference. See what I mean about the NB's spooky video clip? Ok stop airwaving top of your head *titters*.

Anyways, caught up with my good friend Darina today and her beautiful ever fast growing twins. Oli's flirting with me as ever with his gorgeous smile and showing off his milestones skills. Isabella is now starting to come out of her shell, and makes a LOT of noises. So adorable! I got to feed her today and she wouldn't stop rocking during feed that the spoon almost went into her nose! Girl looks like dad, and boy looks like mum, I mean how perfect is that?!

I wonder what mine would look like. I do get the occasional broodiness, but I blame it all on hormones and crap. We decided we'll leave another 2 years before trying, mostly to get more settled in terms of where to live etc. And will definitely need a bigger place than this should we contemplate having a family. I love this place, my first ever pad bought with my hard earned money, with so many memories to it. But I suppose we all have to move on, and I am definitely ready for a much bigger place.Me want me own garden so me can golek golek like hindustan around the flower beds ya know!
