RHAPSODY'S HAVING A REUNION?!? How am I just now hearing about this?? Please PLEASE come to the US, it's been my dream for years!! I was so sad I'd never get to see the "original" Rhapsody, so I about died when this popped up on Facebook (they must have read my thoughts lol, wow!). It would be so cool to finally meet Luca! (I'd probably melt into the floor though LOL.) I so hope they come to the US..I am definitely going if they do, even if I have to fly to a random state like Missouri LOL. I'll have to keep checking the website :P

Today's trivia: "Buf­falo buf­falo Buf­falo buf­falo buf­falo buf­falo Buffalo buf­falo" is a gram­mat­i­cally correct sentence

Hmm..not bad. The new guitarist is pretty good, though it's still not the same without Luca. Though I didn't even like Luca Turilli's Rhapsody's first CD..I haven't heard the second..it just doesn't seem the same since they split up. It makes me sad :(

Though I have down moments, I'm still feeling pretty good on the Lexapro. It was driving mom crazy that I never wanted to do anything..even if I didn't say anything, she could always tell how miserable I was. I'm looking forward to enjoying myself in Arizona and doing fun things lol

Today's trivia: The heaviest turkey ever raised was 86 pounds, about the size of a large dog

Today a "new" volunteer started at the bookstore..Paulette said she'd worked there before and said I'd remember her. I didn't, which is weird since I've been there a long time and usually remember past volunteers. I asked her where she lived and she said "7th Avenue, at Southall Manor!" I was like "no way, that's where I live!" It definitely bothered me I couldn't remember her from Southall either haha (she's lived here a few months). I asked what apartment she lived in and she said 104. Surprised again..I told her I lived above her! She was so excited to finally meet the person who lived above her haha! I asked her if I made a lot of noise (I always worry about that..I walk kinda heavily) and she said no. Finally I remembered seeing her standing on her balcony one day and wondering who it was. Wow..small world haha

I had a dream I was at a Rhapsody concert (everyone was talking and being rude and the band members were freaking out and only managed to play two songs..plus one of the CDs didn't work..what? Haha) and I met Luca Turilli (LOL at Rhapsody coming on as I'm typing this!). I asked for a picture with him and he was like "sure!" He put his face right next to mine (squee!) and someone took a pic. I looked awful in it haha but I was excited I finally had a pic with Luca :D

Still snowing..it's supposed to snow till Wednesday! Jeez haha

Today's trivia: The Dutch national anthem, "Het Wilhelmus," is the world's oldest. It was first performed in 1574

OMG awesome..I like!! Very nice choice for the new singer! I just got the new CD..sounds promising so far! I've heard some new ones lately that were just awful/boring..like Nightwish and Luca Turilli's Rhapsody. When I looked in the CD booklet I saw that Luca was their Latin consultant! That is awesome haha

Today's trivia: The longest Oscars ceremony, in 2000, lasted 256 minutes

joansies: Blog about a band that you absolutely HATE. Pick a band. Any band. As long as you just can't stand them, and don't understand what all the fuss is about.

Manowar. I used to like them but now they annoy me. Especially with lyrics like "the gods made heavy metal and they saw that is was good, they said to play it louder than hell. We promised that we would." Like..cheesy much? They proclaim how "true" they are they seem like righteous idiots. Who cares how true you are? If you make good music and stay true to your fans that's all that should matter right? And plus Joey DeMaio prevented Rhapsody from making music for like 4 years. I honestly still like a few songs though (Swords in the Wind, Nessun Dorma, Kingdom Come and Warriors of the World). And the way they dress is just..ew

Italian symphonic metal masters RHAPSODY OF FIRE will release their new album, "The Frozen Tears Of Angels", on March 5, 2010 via Nuclear Blast Records. The CD was produced by Luca Turilli and Alex Staropoli and it was mixed and mastered by Sascha Paeth at the Gate Studio (AVANTASIA, EPICA) in Wolfsburg, Germany.

Commented the band: "We are finally proud to announce to the world that RHAPSODY OF FIRE are stronger than ever and finally ready for their glorious comeback!

"We just signed a worldwide-level agreement with the legendary label Nuclear Blast, at this time the greatest choice we could have ever done. Wonderful people, a great business vision and the best organization possible, for a relationship that can be anything else but successful for the years to come.

"In the last months, we worked very hard and now all we can say is that a great new album, a real masterpiece of power/speed/symphonic metal, is finally ready!

"We are looking forward to inviting you to the unexplored snowy and icy majestic landscapes of the north, that mystical dark frozen world where even the tears of our beloved angels can't be anything else but frozen!"


OMGGGG FINALLY!! I've been waiting soooo long for this!! And they're gonna sing about icy landscapes?? Rhapsody possibly singing about glaciers..SQUEEE!
