so, after about a week, i am back here at tv.com, where i belong.

first of all...oh my god SPICE GIRLS. it was honestly the most fun i've ever had. EVER. the concert was SO so so so SO amazing. as soon as the lights went down, you couldn't even hear yourself think everyone was screaming so loud. i couldn't talk for about 3 days after, because i already had a cold, and screaming for 2 hours straight on top of that did not improve things. but it was absolutely, 100% worth it. the girls were AMAZING. they sang everything live (with maybe the exception of posh, but she's still fierce, so whatevah), the choreopgraphy was amazing, the sets and visuals were SPECTACULAR and the costumes (designed by Cavalli) were so pretty! everything was sooooo sparkly, it looked great! every single set they did was perfect. i could not have asked for more. it was SO satisfying. here are some highlights (aka my personal favourites from the concert):

- Emma Bunton aka BABY SPICE. god i love her. she is maybe the single most adorable person on the entire planet. everything she did was super cute. even though she's 31, she is still baby spice. i swear to god, she will still be adorable when she's 75. and i loved her solo performance (she sang "Maybe"). i love the song, and the way she performed it was awesome. (also, she has the cutest baby i've ever seen --baby's baby-- so she gets extra points for that).

-the girls' (minus Geri) performance of "Holler". this has always been one of my least favourite singles of their's, but it was easily the best set of the night. the visuals behind them were soooo COOL (and i NEVER use that word). it was basically "comic porn", aka it was the girls as comic characters just really sexed up. it even moved to the beat of the song and everything. and the boys on LEASHES. yes that's right, leashes. the girls strutted the catwalk with boys in front of them on leashes, jumping at their command. it was so raunchy and excellent. (maybe a little bit sexist...but who cares, it was awesome).

-Geri's solo performance of "It's Raining Men". she put in SO much energy, she was really into the song, and the dance, and all the boys around her were picking her up, throwing her, twirling her. it was just such high energy, such a great performance. it was SUPER fun.

-the fact that Victoria Beckham aka POSH SPICE knows that she is absolutely useless. while the other girls gave their hardcore solo performances, she did a 30-second walk down the catwalk. but it was FIERCE. she reeeeeally knows how to work it. (on another note, i don't understand why she has become such a favourite. people around me were screaming SO loud for her...she's useless!...although i do love them ALL).

-the jazzed-up and sped-up version of "Too Much". i know a few people who were disappointed the girls didn't sing the original, slower version, but i loved this one. it was a lot of fun. the girls started off the number in changing stalls on the stage, with (staged) dialogue of them changing, and being a bit naughty. oh how i loved it!

-that they performed "The Lady is a Vamp" even though it wasn't one of their singles. it's one of my favourite songs of their's, and it set up the night nicely ("ladies and gents can you please take your seats and we hope that you enjoy the show").

-just being there and the girls themselves in general. they dominated a huge part of my childhood, and they will be dominating my speakers for the next few weeks, seeing as it's all i've been listening to since i got back from the concert. oh, and i LOOOOOVE the t-shirt i got. it's got the girls on the front, and it's got sparkly text, and all the concert cities on the back. it was such a gooooooooooood night!!

as you can see, i'm still pretty excited that i was there. it was seriously just so so so so so so much fun! annnnnd it was a nice break before my brutal week that's coming up. i have sooo many assignments due and lots of midterms, so it's going to be terrible. i'm glad i'll have the concert to think about while i'm struggling through mountains of work. so yeah, i probably won't be on here much in the next 2 weeks, but i'll try to get on here every so often (when i'm desperately seeking a distraction from my work).

well, i hope you all have/are having an excellent weekend! i just got back from a midterm, and am about to start some readings...wooooooooooooooooot! (ugh, i hate school. it is useless). ciao for now!

PS - how glad is everyone about the strike finally coming to an agreement!? and the fact that gossip girl still might get up to 9 more episodes before the season ends!? yesssss, score!

ETA - before i get back to work, i'm going to do this quiz that i stole from tiffany (othforeverlove) as a fun little thing before my mounds of work.
