Earrings

Yesterday and today I wore earrings to work. Normally I do not do that, because it is just not suitable, but these days i have a desk job. My co workers, merely man, didn't notice.
I met on of the girls while I was wondering around the grounds with a co worker, and she started shouting, more or less: ooh you really look different it suits you very well etc etc...
My co worker looked at me and frowned.
Back at the compound another guy said to me, there is something sexy about you, is it your hair?
My co worker answered for me: no silly it's the earrings, didn't you notice?
Today he said to me: I had to explain it once again to someone... she looks different.... it's the earrings....
I asked him: You hadn't noticed them in the first place had you?
He shook his head and laughed: No, could you tell?

Rolling Stones

Yesterday I went to see the Rolling Stones. It was great. It was horrible how I got the tickets.. I hate work politics... but anyhow I just needed to go.
And I went. And it was great. they started of with a couple of the now so known songs. And it was a little "when will the real thing start". It started when it got dark.
The lights went on, the show kicked off and the music was rockin'.
Keith Richards promised to stay away from the trees. Sang two songs.. I think it was a good thing he had a background singer... But it was great.
They had a small stage that moved from the central stage to a small B stage in the middle of the stadium. That was awsome. I think the best proof was the guy next to me who actually wanted to go to sleep but in the end he was actually applauding.
I think this was one of the best shows I have ever seen, because now, due to my work and all the technical knowledge I gained doing these shows, I can actually appreciate a good technical show.
And it was. It was good, it was great, it was shock and awe.
