...Lady GaGa
Happy Birthday to you. So we headed up to Ottawa last night to see Lady GaGa in concert. It was quite a good show, well the main event was. The two opening acts sucked. The Lady herself is a show person, nine songs, three male dancers and four costume changes. I wasn't sure how well it would go given her currently limited material. She pulled it off. The high point was the torch version of my least favourite of her songs Poker Face which was interrupted by the entire audience singing Happy Birthday to her. She seemed genuinely touched at the sentiment stating that after that she couldn't even get through the "fucking chorus" though in the end she did.
On a humorus note: I was amused by the number of parents who were forced to be there with their pre-pubescent children. Then even more amused when the two opening acts threw in "fucking" this and "fucking that all over the place as well as mention of penis somewhere in there. The only new song by Lady GaGa had lyrics to the tune of "f-f-f-f-fuck you as hard as I can..." I am kinda thinking that there may have been some parental discomfort out there which does amuse me.
On a side note, for those following up on Penny, we started her on Prednisone yesterday before we left for Ottawa and by the time we got home there was already a noticeable improvement. Some of the swelling has gone down to the point that she can eat with less discomfort and she is barking again. Yay! Prednisone is a steroid and the treatment is basically to make her more comfortable. As I understand it it's kind of like a false remission. The vet told me to make sure I didn't take false hope from it and I'm not but it is good to see her a bit more as the old Penny. It's all still just a matter of time. Really though isn't that the case for all of us.

The best you can do for Penny is to make whatever time she has left special. Spoil her (even more!), cuddle her, love her, and know that she has had a blessed life with you, little diva that she is.
You'll know when it's time to let her go, Mike, so that she does not suffer in any way.
Hey you forgot the song that had something about "gently touching you with my penis tip." That was a good moment to hear.
As for the parents I think the father beside us just told his daughter she knows a lot of the words already and something about he is sure she can figure what they are hinting at.
This is the 2nd story I've heard of Lady GaGa's tour and her fans consisting mostly of teenagers and gay men. In Minneapolis, it was the same thing but with more drunk teens. Any drunk teens?
