Dallas
Its been a few days since my last post. I left last Friday and went and saw Jaime Cullum live. It was by far the best concert I have ever been to. Before I went to the show I would have told you that I am a fan of Jamie Cullum but there are people I would rather see live then him. I mean Ben Folds is my hero and I couldn't see how Jamie could stand to give a concert that was entertaining. He did it though and more.
He played for two and a half hours. TWO AND A HALF HOURS! He sang a bunch of songs I hand never heard before and a few other it seemed he just made up as he went. I know he didn't but that's what it sounded like. My favorite of these was his version of Since You've been Gone. He also did a very cool arrangement of a song from Moulin Rouge, where he and his bass player walked though and over the crowd, him without his mic and sang while everyone was quiet. That had to have been my favorite part of the show. We had the best seats, 9 rows up from the front, on the side where you can seen his hands and watch him play. He is alot smaller then I thought he would be.
On Saturday me and my family went to the state fair. This is a yearly trip and I always enjoy it. This year had to have been the best year because my nephew Zimmer was there, possibly the cutest kid ever. We went and looked at all of the animals and Zimmer fed an alpaca that was in a desperate need of a haircut. The petting area was fun but the real entertainment was all of the fried food. I had a corny dog but not just any corny dog because regular corny dogs are gross. So for people like me they made Jalepenio Cheese Corny Dogs. It was cheese and a little spicy...perfect. After that I just got rolling. I had a fried praline, oreo, onion rings, and cheesecake. To finish it off I got a giant cotton candy on a cone.
Every year I end up buying something at the fair. There are too many cool infomercial people there to just walk around and not buy anything. The two things I was really debating about getting. The first was a sushi maker. Now, I don't really care to make my own sushi with fish and all of that good stuff, I would rather leave that to the pros. But with this little device you can stuff anything in rice. Beans and cheese in rice, Guacamole and cheese, pico and cheese. Pretty much anything you eat in a burrito can be placed in the rice for easy eating. The other thing I wanted was the SUPER set of knives, and that is what I ended up buying. A sweet set of knives and a block. I needed to buy some anyways and I will end up using them more. Not nearly as fun as a sushi maker but now I can cut though an iron bar and have no damage done to my knife!
I was disappointed with the new cars this year. The concept cars all look like everyday cars you see on the road now. Before they were always sleeker and had some crazy idea of how to open a door or how 15 people could easily fit in the car and there was a washer and dryer in the back but this year I think I saw a total of two concept cars and both of them were boring. When are we going to see a break through to the next Idea. Apparently their idea of a cool new future car is sticking a bigger engine in it. I want to fly! or hover or use a drop of water to go 10000 miles.
