The moment the tickets for this show went on sale, I bought then. Literally. I sat at the website until noon, and swooped in and purchased them. If there had been seating for the show, we (me and K) would have been in the second row!

( The whole adventure. )

OH MY GOD

OH MY GOD

I'M SO EXCITED. I'M GOING TO SEE THIS BAMF AGAIN, AND THIS TIME IT'S FOR AN ACTUAL CONCERT. OMFG.

I WANT TO LEAVE RIGHT NOW, BUT WE ALREADY AGREED TO TAKE THE 12:00 TRAIN.

FFFFUUU.

AND PEOPLE STARTED LINING UP AT 5:30. THOUGH I'M NOT SURPRISED, THAT HAPPENED AT THE SEPHORA EVENT.

BUT STILL. THAT'S GOING TO BE A LONG-ASS LINE BY THE TIME WE GET THERE.

HIKKIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

Holy crap, Utada's This Is The One debuted at #69 (heehee) on the Billboard 200! Exodus had only reached #160. (But, damn, the music industry does blow now. TITO moved 6,000 copies but Exodus did about 15,000 in 2004, I believe.)

And while I'm on music: Adam Lambert should have won. I just bought his performances on iTunes, contributing to his kicking Kris whatshisface's ass on their charts - in top pop albums, Adam Lambert is #6 and #10. Whatshisface is #12 at best. [EDIT: Holy crap, Adam's #4 on top pop songs, Kris at #8.] Nothing against the guy; he can sing. But, all signs pointed to Adam. Plus all the bigots were rallying against him, ugh. Adam came in second and they tainted the other guy's win (and he knows it).

...I don't even watch American Idol, WTF. I just liked Adam.

100 icons I made over the past year but never actually used. Might as well offer them up to the world...

[89-90] Unfair: Natsumi Yukihara

( It's like a yard sale... )

At 2:11 for about two seconds, I saw me. YES. EVIDENCE I WAS THERE. XD



That is all.

Report/fangirling coming tomorrow, hopefully. Maybe Friday. Three hours to NYC, three hours waiting in the cold, and three hours to get back home...I'm beat!

( Limited awesome, but still awesome. )

"Come Back To Me" is up to #72 on Billboard's Pop 100 Airplay charts, and her album's #19 overall on iTunes =)

"Come Back To Me" just broke into the Billboard Pop 100 Airplay Charts at #75 =)

(I figured my Utada fangirling is more at home on my, well, fangirling journal...)
