All and all

It sort of kills me, this whole not writing every day thing.  But I totally have cool things to talk about.  Eventually I'll talk about this week's Greek.  But that will probably have to wait until after the next episode and I'll mesh them.

Two things I want to talk about now.  Prince Eric and Taylor Swift.  Not really them together.  I like them both, but them as a couple doesn't really work for me.  Despite the fact that she completely owns the fairy tale thing in the "Love Story" video.  The two of them just impacted my week and I feel the need to give them some credit.  

I'll start with Prince Eric, because he got there first.  On Tuesday, I went to see The Little Mermaid on Broadway, despite its lukewarm reviews.  I enjoyed it.  But yeah, pretty lukewarm.  But we had awesome seats, right in the front row.  It was on the far right though, so we didn't have the greatest view of everything.  We did have a great view of Prince Eric.  This hottie, Sean Palmer played the lovely Eric.  He had a pretty voice and the most chiseled face I could ever imagine.  No wonder Stanford was so in love with him in the last season of Sex and the City.  It was sort of a Charlotte/Harry relationship, but with less passion.  And he was just so close to me. Maybe 8 feet away.

Taylor Swift was only 2 feet away.  Signing autographs and taking pictures.  She did the whole hold the camera out in front of her like on myspace thing.  Adorable.  I have some pictures from my phone, but can't find my phone right now to upload them.  I didn't get a picture with her or an autograph because these douchenozzles standing in front of me hogged all her time.  But I wasn't actually mad at the time because I was so thrilled to be in her presence.  In the rain.  

Actually, her hair looked amazing despite of the rain.  And her dress was all cool and sparkly.  With a really cute coat.  My sister described the experience on Seventeen.  Probably better than I could, but I might as well try.  Taylor sang "Love Story" before everything else, but then the music stopped as she was singing and she got super-confused.  Turns out it was just a sound check, but she rocked it anyway.  

She sang "Love Story" again when the show started, with all the same choreography.  It sounded amazing live, but when I watched it on DVR later that day, it wasn't nearly as good.  Weird how that works.  Then she sang "You Belong With Me," which is her biggest hit now, thanks to the extreme hotness of her video costar.  After that she sang "Teardrops on my Guitar," because it was her first hit.  But apparently that wasn't even on tv.  She just played that while they were airing news.  They did air her final song.  Which she didn't plan on performing.  She played "Our Song" and it was completely incredible.  Apparantly, she was only supposed to do three songs, so it was a fab surprise.  For us all.  Since I got 5 songs.

My favorite part was when she talked to Al Roker and Matt Lauer and the lady.  They asked her why she doesn't rebel by drinking or smoking.  She replied by saying that rebelling doesn't equal getting wasted for her.  It's writing totally honest songs and putting people's names in them.  Those people don't really talk to her anymore.  She was just so adorable, I don't see why they wouldn't want to talk to her.  I guess Drew, Cory, Stephen, and Joe aren't too thrilled about the publicity.
