Meanwhile, I asked Dan for a recommendation on a second Social Distortion album, because I liked their debut album so much. He recommended Somewhere Between Heaven and Hell, which is ironically how I feel right about now. I bought it from the iTunes store tonight and I look forward to listening to it tomorrow. Thanks…
In the Carpenters’ song “We’ve Only Just Begun”, the first line goes something like, “Why do birds suddenly appear, every time you are near…” I got to thinking however, that a slight change in wording can give a whole new meaning to the verse. What if it was “Why do birds subtly appear…”? It even…
I finished 3 of the 4 tasks I wanted to get done this weekend, and that’s something I suppose. I am almost caught up. The problem is, I just checked my calendar and I have managed to get myself wrangled into 5-1/2 hours of meetings tomorrow. So all efforts at catching up only helped to…
Last night, I headed over to AJ and Denisse’s for dinner. Denisse was whipping up an authentic Peruvian dish and it turned out to be excellent. I forgot to ask her what it was called, but it was layered chicken and potato and hard-boiled eggs and peppers and it was really quite delicious. She also…
I headed to breakfast just after 8 AM and then on my way home, decided to get the grocery shopping out of the way. I bought one of those Crest teeth whitening kits to see if they really work in 7 days. My teeth are not terribly discolored, just kind of off-white, but enough so…
When last I was in New York, I walked one evening down 2nd Avenue with Jen, Jason and Jenn on our way back to Jen and Jason’s apartment. While walking, we passed by Elaine’s and I, said “Hey, isn’t that Elaine’s from the Billy Joel song?” But I couldn’t remember which song it was (I…
I’m in such a good freakin’ mood. I’m blasting my iPod at lunch and head-bobbing in my Aeron chair, and even throwing in a little air-drumming. In between bites of peanut butter and jelly. People here think I’m nuts!
I have this Rock & Pop play list that I listen to from time to time. It’s a “smart” playlist and the criteria of the playlist are such that it eliminates anything that isn’t in the rock or pop domain of music. This leaves me with about 2,400 songs in the play list. On some…
Because rubysnina mentioned the Beatles the other day, I decided that’s what I’d listen to today, as I worked through these application migration tasks I have in front of me. UPDATE: Beatles fans will hate me for this, but I think one of my favorite Beatles songs is “Hey Jude”. I know, I know, Paul…
I’m getting ready to get into bed and read for a while. I was fairly productive today. I got my passport. I wrote some thank you notes (although I still have more to write). I got some work done on the book collection database, including a cataloging of all of my SCIENCE FICTION AGE magazines.…
I’ve been singing constantly for the last two days and can’t seem to stop. It started yesterday while driving to the train station. I had the old tune, “Moonlight Bay” in my head and I sang it the entire time I was driving to the station, alternating between the Bing Crosby parts and the Gary…
