it's always nice to get random picture messages throughout the day.
when i go to a concert. i'll write a review here. even if it's my mom. and her voice never ceases to amaze me. for such a small woman, the notes that she's able to belt out, with such force, with such passion and the kind of old school stage presence that's completely absent in today's artists. i accredit the development of her stage charisma to her 2 kids helping her bridge the gap of east and west alongside the rebellious mtv youth, where everything is "jokable". however, it's a sad truth that she's getting older but her voice oddly enough has gotten stronger. but im not gonna sugar coat this show. when she spoke, she sounded under the weather. a little raspy. the softer notes didn't project as clear...it's only that she's trained enough to sing through her diaphragm that the loud high notes were able to come out from within. her control of an inadequate band was expected to be amazing. her control of the audience, a captivated audience....was unparalled to any other show i've seen her sing. as she conveyed her anecdotes in mandarin, taiwanese, and cantonese, it became more and more apparent to the hosts of the show that they undervalued the ticket prices which they promised they'd make with the next show. in vegas. cny.
with all the praise, still doesn't mean i find her ridiculous. i find her ridiculous in her white mink coat with her black mink hat walking around target. i find it ridiculous when she cuts the band off and says, "WAIT. CUT. TURN THE LIGHTS DOWN. GIMME SPOTLIGHT!"....i find her ridiculous to see a poster and say "HEY, it's me!"...AND I SAY "UGH. 看膩了"

u know that feeling when u're about an hour away from driving to a ski resort and u can view the mountain? the scenery all of a sudden changes to pine trees, cold mist, snowy mountain tops and steaming mufflers from the cars in front of u? ur windshield starts to fog up a bit and u spend the next hour figuring out how to control the heat in the car versus the fog developing on the windows....yea. that feeling is driving anywhere in the northwest. it's one big ski resort. a bit gloomy, very rainy and the perfect patagonia or lands end catalog commercial. gore tex, boots, beards, 4 wheeler suv's, fresh pacific seafood, heavy japanese community, heavy vietnamese community, average chinese community and probably a huge indian community due to the tech force in the most expensive zip code in the United States.
everywhere in the US is the same. that's the beauty of it. an intricate weaving of developed infrastructure for the burgeoning masses of a credit ridden middle class. zero culture shock, perfectly in the comfort zone and a chance to enjoy only variances of what you have at home already. essentially boring. here ya go.
the original starbucks. i mean seriously. did i really need to see the first starbucks? they're all the same. dUH!
seafood on steroids
seattle grunge station!!! even as grunge/alternative is dying. seattle dedicates one station to hold onto it's glory days of the 90s. i heard stone temple pilots interstate love song thrice in 2 days. pearl jam and alice n chains is a staple throughout christmas holidays. interesting.
