I’m terrible at keeping my promise to post more often, but I’m here, I’m alive and I have some time to catch up on all those comments I need to leave, and a new blog post. But this will be reasonably short after the extensive post I made last time.

My parents came up for the long weekend on the 25th, to spend some time with us and to go to a Caravan and Motorhome Expo at Caulfield. So they came up on Friday, and since Michael was at the Wrestling that night, it was just me, Mum and Dad. We ordered in Indian food for dinner, had a few drinks and then they went back to their hotel room for the night.

On Saturday, we joined Mum and Dad at the Expo they wanted to go to, which was (for me) kind of boring, but it was nice to spend the time with them, of course. It was 4 or so hours of just looking at caravans and motorhomes (yawn!). Anyway, we finished there at about 2-3pm, came home and then had Alisha (my sister) and Jernej (her boyfriend) come around so that we could go out for dinner. We went to the Irish Times, one of our favourite pubs here in the city, and had a great dinner and more than a few drinks. We came back home, mum and dad went back to the hotel at around 1am, and Alisha and Jernej hung around till about 2:45am, drinking and talking and stuff, which was fun.

On Sunday, we got up reasonably early - Mum and Dad came around for breakfast and to leave their stuff at our house since they had to check out of the hotel. Alisha joined us for lunch at Melbourne Central, and we did a bit of shopping and walking around the CBD before about 4:00pm where we had to go back home so Mum and Dad could get the bus to the airport at 5:30 and needed a bit of a sit-down before leaving.

So, Mum and Dad went home, then Michael, Alisha and I went to the supermarket for a few things we needed. Alisha and I decided to go out and get some dinner, so we went to this place called Grill’d where they have really yummy beef and chicken burgers. We came home around 7:30, Alisha hung out for a bit longer then headed home, and we got into bed.

Now, I have had a sore throat since Saturday, and yesterday morning I woke up with the sore throat, chest pain, coughing, runny nose and dry chapped lips, so I decided not to go to work and just stay home. I visited the Doc who said it could be a viral thing, so all I have to do is sit home and give myself some R&R. So good that I got a couple days off work, but not so good since I’m sick and it’s money I’m missing out on.

Anyway, tomorrow I’ll be heading back to work (:() and getting back to the normal, daily grind.

So, that’s the last few days in a nutshell. Nothing super exciting for anyone else, but was fun for me

So, I haven’t had a chance to blog at all since a couple of weeks ago, and I apologise for that. I’ve been working, and having school work to do, it cuts into my internet time significantly. So to fill you all in, especially in regards to older posts. I managed to come up with a new net username, which is neither mature nor two words like I thought I wanted, but I still love it, so around the net if you see anyone by the name of ‘pinkcowsgomoo’, you can presume its me - I haven’t seen anyone else about with it. So hand-in-hand with that, I’ve made a new Loowa, a new MySpace and changed my Twitter name, so you can find links to all those in the sidebar under “About”.

Additionally, I put together a new layout, so I hope you like it. No, it’s not Valid CSS or XHTML, simply for the fact that if I put in a doctype, it ruins the header tabs hover thing I have going on - if you have a solution for that at all, so that I might be able to validate my site, PLEASE let me know!

But finally to the actual reason for this post - due to my time being so busy, I haven’t had a chance to blog about the Ozzy Osbourne concert we went to last Saturday.

I’ve loved Ozzy for years - he’s one of my favourite musos, and the chance came up to go and see him, since he was coming to Melbourne. The last time he was in Australia was in 1998, too fucking long ago. So when we heard he was coming, I went to look at ticket prices. It was $99 a ticket in the nosebleeds. So at the time I said no, because we didn’t have the money. But things changed in about late December/early January, when I got my credit card. I worked it out - 10 years since Ozzy was here last, Ozzy turns 60 this year - if it’s another 10 years before he might even come here, he’ll be 70 and probably too old to perform. This might be the last time he tours, at least globally.

So I thought about it - $200 ain’t that bad to see a guy who you’ve loved for ages and probably won’t get a chance to see ever again. So, I whipped out the credit card and bought tickets in the nosebleeds.

We headed out there on Saturday the 15th, got there at about 6pm (the show was due to start at 8), and bought a t-shirt each (since it’s now my new hobby to collect band t-shirts!). We waited… and waited… and waited… and finally they opened the doors to the arena. We made our way inside, found our seats and sat taking in the surroundings and atmosphere - it was pretty electric. Then the supporting band, Sevendust, came out - they were pretty awesome, did a great job of riling (sp?) up the crowd, but the magic happened after Sevendust and an intermission; there were some funny clips played on the big screens of Ozzy in movies and TV shows, like The Office, The Queen, Pirates of the Caribbean, that kind of thing. And then the curtain in front of the stage fell… and there was Ozzy. Oh Em Gee. I SCREAMED until my voice gave way. This guy is incredible! For a near-60 year old guy to get up on stage like that, and perform like he was 20 years old, holy shit he was awesome! And Zakk Wylde, his guitarist who is a celebrity in his own right, was so totally crazy!

So I’m stupid for not remembering the set list, but he played “Mama I’m Coming Home”, my favourite song, and “Crazy Train” (of course). And then, right at the end of the show, Zakk throws his guitar INTO THE CROWD! There’s this HUGE scramble for it, and finally one guy gets it and has to be escorted out by security so he doesn’t get nabbed or beaten up (I’m sure they would have had to get a taxi or something for him to get home!).

All in all, it was FUCKING INCREDIBLE! I can’t wait for my next arena concert!

Just a short post to say welcome to the month of March, and the countdown of 14 days starts today till the OZZY OSBOURNE CONCERT! I’m so fucking excited - it’ll most likely be the last chance ever to see Ozzy live in concert, so I’m totally pumped.

Anyway, I’ve purchased my domain for my photoblog, and it has a name that, if I want to change it to something else it’ll still work. So make your way over to Cada Momento and take a peek.

However, I still need some help. As many of my regular visitors might know, I use the usernames ‘mztwizted’, ‘xomztwiztedox’ and ‘xo.mztwizted.ox’ all over the place. However, I think it’s time for a change. Number one, I am getting sick of spelling it out for my RL friends who want to add me to MSN or email me. Number two, I registered that username over 3 years ago, and I have matured a lot since then and would like something to reflect that. So, throw some ideas at me. If you need some idea of what I’m like, you can click ‘terri’ at the top of the page and it’ll take you to my ‘about me’ section, which might be able to help. I’m just totally stuck for a name. Most of my usernames come from other places anyway.

I’ll keep trying to think of one myself, but yeah throw those ideas my way!
