Becca’s Cyber Home

For Christmas my aunt bought us tickets to a Michael Buble concert. I’d heard of him but couldn’t tell you what song(s) he’s famous for, so I was a little skeptical. But it turned out to be one of the most enjoyable concerts I’ve ever attended. The guy is seriously funny and just soaks up the spotlight. And, to make it totally cooler, one of Buble’s band members is a guy I went to high school with. There were a couple of fellow band members who, even then, I suspected would make successful careers out of performing. Rob’s at the top of that list. Does that sound snooty? I don’t mean it to be–it’s just neat to see people you knew “way back when” being successful at what they love to do.

When I told a friend how surprised I was at how much I enjoyed the concert because I had never listened to Buble, she asked, “How did you miss the Buble train?” Not sure, but I’m fully aboard.

And speaking of the B Train, my sister and I have developed a teenage-esque addiction to Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Having watched the first two seasons in a matter of a few days, we’re left wondering how we missed that train the first time it came through. I’m just totally hooked on the story. I think my hubby might get sick of seeing Jo and me planted in front of the TV for our Buffy marathons.

Some of my favorite moments and lines so far:

• “Hello, salty goodness!” Cordelia remarking on Angel (I totally agree, BTW)
• Xander’s pimp strut in a Speedo when he joins the swim team in the “Go Fish” episode
• “Hundred years, just hanging out, feeling guilty, really honed my brooding skills.” Angel on getting jealous (and oh my, he’s good at brooding)
• “I just don’t see why everyone’s always picking on Marie Antoinette. I can so relate to her. She worked really hard to look that good, and people just don’t appreciate that kind of effort. And I know the peasants were all depressed” Cordelia in history class

There’s more, but too much to list (or remember right now, for that matter). After watching all this, and already being a big fan of Firefly, I am eagerly awaiting Joss Whedon’s next project!
