Going to Cuba until the 4th, have fun in school writing the ENGLISH ESSAY! Hah.

..Is it just me, or is Easter weekend much longer than it needs to be? So like, I’m like really bored, so I’ve been looking at some of my old Tic Tac boxes. Dunno, I have a weird obsession with collecting Tic Tacs from random places. I have around 12 flavours from 4 countries (Canada, US, Russia, Mexico). Hopefully I’ll be able to add Cuban Tic Tacs to my collection next week. Yeah so anyways, in my free time I often take pictures of my Tic Tacs. Here’s a few:

There’s also a few high-res ones here (click on the picture, then All Sizes, then Original for the huge version (1555×2323)) . Another cool pic is here (although nothing to do with tic tacs); click on “Original” for a massive 3872 x 2592 4MB image :D). Oh, and you can browse around my flickr if you like, there’s some more of my pics (from my trip to Russia last summer and others). My favourite one would probably have to be this, taken at High Park, in Toronto. These were all taken with my dad’s Nikon D80 camera, which is about 10 megapixels. It’s cool cause I liek high res stuffs :]

Lol, that was a random post. Well, I’m bored, so whatevr.

So yesterday I went to the Iron Maiden concert. An awesome end to an otherwise boring March Break. Toronto was the band’s last stop of the first leg of their Somewhere Back in Time World Tour (2008) .

This was the first rock/metal concert I’ve been to, so I guess I don’t have much to compare it with. However, I can pretty much summarize it in one word: FUCKING LOUD! Hm, guess that was two words. Anyways, you know that feeling you get in your ears when you go up in an airplane? Yeah well I felt like that, but worse, for about 2 hours after the concert. And when I got home my first thought was “dude, why the hell is it so quiet in here?!”

I’ve listened to most if not all of Iron Maiden’s songs (I have 4GB lying around at home), and I think they played an excellent collection of 16 songs at this concert. Definitely some of my favourites (Fear of the Dark, Number of the Beast, Run to the Hills, etc.) Only 2 songs which I didn’t recognize were Revelations, and Moonchild. Here’s a list of what they played, if anyone’s interested:

1. Aces High
2. 2 Minutes to Midnight
3. Revelations
4. The Trooper
5. Wasted Years
6. The Number of the Beast
7. Can I Play with Madness
8. Rime of the Ancient Mariner
9. Powerslave
10. Heaven Can Wait
11. Run to the Hills
12. Fear of the Dark
13. Iron Maiden
14. Moonchild
15. The Clairvoyant
16. Hallowed Be Thy Name

The only thing I can complain about was the shitty band that played at the beginning for about half an hour. Here’s their MySpace (which they advertised :/): http://www.myspace.com/laurenharrisuk.Yeah well anyways, they sucked. The girl couldn’t sing at all, although the drummer and guitarists weren’t THAT bad. Some guy a couple of rows behind me yelled “SHOW US YOUR TITS!”. Lol, dunno, random.

Another thing I found strange was the Air Canada Centre’s disregard for people smoking marijuana. Like, there were 3 guys right in front of me all smoking weed, and nobody did a thing about it. Some lady from security came up to them and talked to them, but as soon as she turned around they resumed smoking. Meh. Also, everybody there was like, those stereotypical heavy metal people, with long hair and funky clothes.

Also, since when did these places stop restricting cameras, etc.? I remember going to some concert about 5 years ago, and it even said on the ticket “LOL DON’T BRING CAMERAS OR WE’LL COME RAPE YOU OMFG”. Well, maybe not in those words, but yeah. Almost everybody there had either a camera or a camera phone. I doubt they got any decent pictures with those, because of the lighting. It’s only the day after and already there’s videos of it on YouTube. Here’s a few:

• 2 Minutes to Midnight
• The Trooper
• Aces High

Egh, shitty quality, but who cares. It was awesome :D.

So uh, I decided to get one of these things. Seems lots of people are getting them now so I thought I might as well. Dunno what I’ll be posting here, probably just random stuff when I’m bored.
