Just wanted to tell you some stuff.
First of all, I changed the color scheme of this blog. It's sort of based off of U2's album "How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb" and the U2 iPod and all that ... red and black exciting colors.
Secondly, I made a purchase on eBay today. Crazy, right? Well. I couldn't help it. I just searched for things with the the "Buy It Now" feature so I didn't have to mess with nerve wracking auctions. I found a U2 poster for $11.99 with free shipping. It's 24" x 36" and it's in brand new condition. The seller has nothing but positive feedback and all of the feedback comments mention how fast the items were delivered. So I am feeling really good about this. Normally, I would feel guilty about spending money so spontaneously, but I feel good about this. I would post a picture of the poster, but for some reason all the formatting options are gone. I don't know what that's all about. No italics or bolds or pictures or anything. I could give you a link. One moment .... aha, here you go:

The picture on the poster is from Decmber 1979 ... so Bono and Adam are my age (19) in this picture, and Edge and Larry are 18. I'm excited, especially since the seller gets the items delivered quickly. You know how impatient I can get (remember when I was waiting for my book?). I haven't told my mom that I bought it yet. I'm not going to tell her. I'm just going to hang it on my wall when it gets here and see if she ever notices. I do have a place for it on my wall, by the way. It's going to require the sacrifice of one of my Scarface posters, but I have so many of those (five of them, actually), I can spare one. And it's not like I'll actually sacrifice the Scarface poster. I'll probably hang it up downstairs in the studio. I'm going to take one Scarface poster off my door, move another Scarface poster to that door, and put the U2 poster on the wall where the non-sacrificed Scarface poster once was.
I bought an iTunes giftcard today. I bought another U2 live EP. Now I have 99 U2 songs. If I can just decide on ONE MORE SONG to buy, I will have 100! Or I can wait until I get a bunch of money and buy all their CDs that I don't already have! You know, their first three albums are being re-released as special remastered editions. I think that is happening in July? I think. So maybe I can buy those when I have money. And their manager said in an interview recently that the new album could be released in late October. Excitement abounds!
Oh, more excitement! I saw a U2 music video on TV today for the first time since my obsession began! There was a show on Fuse called "Video Yearbook" and U2's video for "Elevation" was on it. It was the last video they showed, so if there was an order to the videos ... then it was #1. I'm not sure they show them in any order. But I can pretend. "Elevation" is number one! It's an awesome video.
Any more exciting news? I feel like I'm neglecting David Cook. I still love him! But, like I've said, it's really hard to maintain Idol obsessions once the season's over. I still visit the American Idol forums and websites all the time, so I keep up on all my DC news. Once the tour starts and more news comes out, and then his album comes out ... then I'm sure I'll be going DC crazy all over again. I kinda feel silly for sending him fanmail, by the way. I mean, I feel silly because of the type of fanmail I sent him, especially the stupid necklace I made for him. Geez, what a loser I am. Haha. I'm not even going to tell myself he liked that one. But I hope he liked the drawing I sent him. I worked a lot harder on that than I did on the necklace!
Well, I think Im done for now. I hope the formatting options are back next time I blog! I miss italics!
