Nice New Post :)

I’m not going to elaborate much. It’s not cool. But it’s time for me to get A LOT more professional about how I deal with my emotions. I’ll probably find that there will be a lot more time in my day.

In other news, here’s 10 EXCITING THINGS that have occurred.

1. I’m learning all about the II-V-I chord progression in jazz. This is basic stuff to some people, but this is stuff that I just kind of glossed over. It’s not really something I ever utilized much.

2. I finally bought a Longhorn shirt. At Academy.

3. I renewed my Austin Public Library card.

4. We went to Costco and all we got was Q-tips and Listerine.

5. When I went to the library with my friend (the massage therapist who owns the turtle), I checked out an OBSCENE number of books:

-Animal Farm, Fahrenheit 451, The Name of the Rose (Umberto Eco)

-The Lovers (Pearl S. Buck), The Good Earth (also Pearl S. Buck), Bound Feet & Western Dress, The Beauty Myth

-Jass, An Equal Music, One Bite with a Stranger, Bergdorf Blondes

6. I have till midnight to have – my Brahms Intermezzo, and I think I’m gonna do it.

7. I cleaned my fridge

8. I worked on three songs and started some new lyrics

9. I buckled and downloaded a superfluous app for loyalty points in Vampires Live

10. I got to wear long sleeves three and a half times.

Thank the damn iPhone fairies

I drank the Kool Aide along with everybody else … but that doesn’t mean I understand how to do a damn thing. I’m basically screwed for a while …

back again

I’m back again.  My computer needed a new motherboard.  Yuck.

We had James for dinner (he was tasty!) last night and that was hysterical.  Much talking … about everything.  We have much in common.

But in really, really large TODAY news – husband and I both have iPhones!  It means we had to switch to AT&T … which sort of pisses me off a bit (I like having more control) – but today we had finally had it with Sprint because they gave us another solicitation call.  When Mike told them to get off the phone … he wasn’t interested in buying a new phone, blah-blah-blah … and also that he was interested in switching anyway because of the iPhone … the lady literally said “what’s an iPhone?”

Then she proceeded to badger him about “maybe we have a phone with those features … blah, blah …”

Anyway.  The iPhone.  Yay.  And other good things happening.  But I’d better go look at my cool new toy!
