PGP: How to recover from the BonoMono?

[WildHoney]

That's what my last phone was doing - it started shutting off and rebooting for no reason. *sigh*

My BB keeps doing that

my first words as they took the stage "They're actually real!"

Ahhh, that's awesome. And so true!

 

[Galeongirl]

You got Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses!! I so wanna hear that live some day.

 

[WildHoney]

Ahhh, that's awesome. And so true!

I mean don't get me wrong i knew they were living hot guys but seeing them in the flesh, hearing them live was just amazing

I think NI foresaw the future that night, and he still married me.

I remember saying to him on the way home "I wonder if you'd look that good in leather"

 

[WildHoney]

You got Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses!! I so wanna hear that live some day.

I've had it a few times

I hope you do

If I'd have been able to speak, I would've said the same thing

That setlist from your show looks awesome


So, on the phone discussion—I'm getting an iPhone and my current method of distraction from packing is thinking up U2-related cases for it I'm tempted to have Achtung Baby all over the back...

Actually, wait. Here's a picture.

 

[WildHoney]

This time 18 years ago i was waiting for U2 to take the stage for my 2nd gig

So, this isn't the first time you've heard Zooropa. Which was better?

 

[Galeongirl]

This time a month ago...




Time, why are you going so fast?

 

[WildHoney]

OH baby

I think I might need to watch a Zoo bootleg tonight.

I know

 

[GraceRyan]

Jesus, those hips.

 

[WildHoney]

Jesus, those hips.

I know for a fact Irishmen can't dance but they can move their hips

 

[WildHoney]

I'm watching a bootleg of loads of Popmart stuff

 

[GraceRyan]

Yes, I too have direct knowledge of that. 2002 was a craaazy year.

Is it the link I provided? GODDAMN. Everyone can download it but me!

This is also my new fave smiley. I heard it going "OOOOH!" in my head when I see it.

It's to make up for Bono's lack of dance skill.

No it's a dvd i have , if that interview is on it i'll try & get a copy done

I need to do one of 2 things. 1) Get my ratio up. But I think it takes awhile. 2) Get my husband an account on his computer. This means he has to forfeit his laptop for a bit.

ETA - I know my computer can play all regions format. I used to have a universal DVD player that played all regions. Ah, remember the fun of PAL and NTSC?

 

[WildHoney]

Sometimes i love the fact NI is Irish

It wasn't the only reason i married him, honest

 

[AnCatKatie]

Good luck, Grace!

Riiight

 

[corianderstem]

I got a DVD player on eBay that was set up to be an all-region player, just so I could go to town with U2 bootleg DVDs.

So worth it.

Me too! Mine died eventually. And I knew you would know what I was talking about.....

 

[GraceRyan]

An old friend had her son today on my birthday. She was with me in those crazed Irish days - when if you weren't right off the boat - I wasn't giving you the time of day.

 

[corianderstem]

And yet I still feel like a total luddite, since I still burn DVDs and watch them in the DVD player, rather than on the laptop, or plugging the laptop into the TV.

I suppose eventually I'll end up getting a ginormous external hard drive and putting all bootlegs on there ... but I hate to think about how much money I'll have wasted buying all those blank CDs/DVDs, and how I'd be throwing all the physical discs away.

That's part of what stops me. And also the amount of time it would take to get them all onto the hard drive.

 

[TaraCynara]

I'm so bored! I need something to do.
