November 1, 2009

Today is the first day of NANOWRIMO but I worked all day, and then I figured out my Avon stuff, and now I'm sitting here. I should also be doing my lab stuff for school, but you know, I won't do it until tomorrow since it's due Tuesday.
Anwyay. Update on the depression: I think it is caused by the pills I was taking (TriCyclen lo) so I've switched them around. I went to see my doctor about it and he said it may even be genetic, so now at least he's aware that I was brutally depressed.

And now, as I sit and watch Meat Loaf: 3 Bats Live (which is concert footage from London, ON, like two shows before I saw it in concert (I was at the Hamilton concert)), I wonder if anyone has ever noticed him pounding on the guitarist's arm in the Out of the Frying Pan song.
It's during the solo by the guitarist, and I understand that you know, the guitarist is soloing and real crazy solos can go on forever, but I mean... he was really wailing and looked right pissed off about something.
I was just like.... Wow. Meat Loaf looks like a dick right there. I really hope there's some sort of inside joke or something between the two of them, because I mean, yeah... Meat's playing a concert of his own, but man... what happens when you take away the actual music? They are playing the stuff that he's singing along to.
I hope he's not pounding on the guy's arm because he's like, pissed that the guy has a solo. I'd be kind of saddened by that if it were true. I mean, how many times does Meat get to wander around the stage talking and being the centre of the whole show? And then this guy gets his two minutes and Meat pounds on his arm?
Please, somebody tell me otherwise. I mean, I'm not gonna stop listening to the awesomeness that is Meat Loaf+Jim Steinman combined, nor will I sell back my other Meat Loaf CDs, like Bad Attitude or Welcome to the Neighbourhood (yeah, that's right. I have them too. He's got some other music that's actually pretty good, that I'm pretty sure Steinman had no hand in. It doesn't sound like his Bat albums though, not really, but they mostly stay with the young teenager kind of angsty topics.)
I would advise you listen to them before you say you're a fan of Meat Loaf, because there's a difference between liking his BOOH I, II and III albums and Meat Loaf as a singer.
Seriously.
