December 19, 2008 Wow - Here we are, at the end of December already - 2008 feels like it never even happened, although I had a great time watching the time fly by! Lots of gigs, lots of new friends, lots of fun. That's what life is, right? To enjoy what you have, while you have it. August 9, 2008 So, it has been a great summer, hasn't it?? Actually, I feel like I've done nothing yet. But, that's a-changin'! Next week begins a weeklong roadtrip to Myrtle Beach. I have never been, but I think that I learned all I need to know for the trip by repeatedly watching "Shag" as a kid. Apparently, it's a happening place. So excited! Also, I have much love for this next website: Sparkpeople.com - if you haven't heard of it, then you're like I was two weeks ago. It's a free website that tracks your nutrition and fitness. Kinda like weight watchers, I guess, but totally immersive. Being someone who is constantly paying attention to that stuff, it's great that there's a place out there that actually does the stats and computations for you. I'm obsessed, but that's my nature. It's AMAZING how many calories you intake of just liquids!!! And bread!!! OMG - It's sad to know that you can eat a sub sandwich and most of the calories are the roll. Depressing, actually...But, if you're someone who is always trying to watch their health, this site's great. It has a great sense of community and lots of fitness and nutrition info. Finally, I'm all about this year's Olympics. Normally, I only pay attention to the Winter Games - I'm not really into any of the summer sports. However, I feel that, as I get older, there probably aren't too many of these things left for me to see, so I'm try to appreciate them for their aesthetic value. Furthermore, did you know that you can watch the entire thing online?!?!? LIVE!!! Yes, because it's in China, that means that "Live" means 10pm to 6 am or something like that, but I'm an insomniac so now I have something to occupy my time. Just go here and hit the "live" link on the left. NBC will try to regulate who can watch online by checking your cable provider (doesn't seem too fair to me, since my cable provider isn't included), but you can lie and choose any of them on the list until you're approved. Verizon FIOS is cool to use, just so you know. GO USA!!! And Australia, Finland and Germany (hotties!)
June 15, 2008 Ok. I promised more regularity and I apparently suck at that. But now that summer vacation is approaching, I really have no excuse. So, it's time to start updating. As always, please take a minute to spread the word, write a review or something nice, so that perhaps the fanbase might grow. Anyway, on to the fun stuff. I finally got my Slacker Portable player, and I LOVE it! It's great - always new music, always something that I'm interested in. There have been very few times that I didn't care for the artist that got played, and all I had to do is hit the "ban" button and bam! No more Britney! The software was a little glitchy at first, but a firmware upgrade took care of that. I would have prefered something a little more solid as well, since this has a plastic shell, but at least it's light. I highly recommend it. I'm watching "Mind of Mencia" at the moment. I love this show. I love that he just goes off on everyone. Gonna watch "The Happening" tonight. I really hope that it doesn't suck, but I am not holding my breath. I liked "The Sixth Sense" and that's about it from M. Night S. Everything else has been pretty pathetic. But, I love Zooey Deschanel and for her sake I am going to drop $10 on what might be a complete crapfest. I will review later this week, along with some other movies. Time for the random playlist - with requisite drinking game: 1)
"Ana Ng", They Might Be Giants April 23, 2008 Wow! It has been forever since I've written something here. I'm lazy, I know...I will try to post more regularly. Granted, I have little to say, so most of it will be banter and not worth checking out anyway...But I will do it. so call (908) 852-4545 and request a song! Now onto the more fun stuff. I've been busying buying things! First of all, I destroyed my laptop, so I bought a new Gateway Tablet PC. It rocks!!! It's so nice to do everything without the use of a mouse and keyboard! It's fun to play mouse-based video games too. Love it!!! February 22, 2008 Go to OURSTAGE.COM!!!!! Please!! Here's the deal...you listen to two tracks. You vote for the one you like better. The top tracks get prizes, including money and fame. Now, I'm not in this for either thing, but I certainly wouldn't shun a healthy record deal. Anyway, I have had 3 songs in the top ten over the past 3 months..."Drift" is at # 2 today... "Last Thing on your mind" hit #1 a couple days too early, and then didn't get any last minute support...so PLEASE go help out!!! tell others to!!! February 10, 2008 Hello! I'd like to thanks everyone for their nice comments about the CD - I've heard many good things! So, thanks you - Now, the best thing you could do is go to your favorite music site and post a review - That way more people might want to hear it. Or, tell your friends about it and bring them to a show! There are a lot of them starting to pile up - shows, that is. I'm also looking into getting an electric band together again, so we'll see what happens with that. It's the endless search for a bass player....always the bass player! January 1, 2008 Happy New Year, everyone! I hope that this year brings good things to those who deserve it - especially those who saw 2007 as less than wonderful. I must admit that 2007 was very kind to me. Not only did the CD get finished, but I made a lot of new friends and saw a lot of good concerts. I can't even remember them all, but I would definitely place the Bamboozle show, Motioncity/Mae, and Chick Corea at the top of the list. Also getting to take trips to Boston, Maryland (:P), and Cape Cod was fun. December 17, 2007 Ok, things have been busy this month - Nothing that you'd notice, but really...December has been hectic! CD Baby is just about finished with encoding my new page and DigStation is ready to go - within another month or so, all of the major online stores will be carrying the CD - So, if you like what you hear, please spread the word and get your friends to buy stuff, or to go to a show! December 5, 2007 Welcome to the new webpage! I hope that it's easy enough to get around and everything works right on your browser. If it doesn't, please contact me and let me know what needs to be fixed. This is my online journal, or log, if you prefer. I am going to put up bits of randomness. Reviews of CDs or songs or movies. Maybe videogames or interesting websites. Maybe just rant or babble about something. Just seems like something interesting to do. If anyone wants me to give a shout-out to someone or something, let me know... |
