music

Sun, 17 Feb 2008 01:30:10 GMT

i just bought a new ipod and with it an itunes gift card. in general i'm looking for some new music to excite me. i pretty much like everything except for singers who scream. here is some stuff that has been exciting me lately:

arcade fire
panic at the disco
anais mitchell
antje duvekot
bright eyes
the new dashboard confessional cd
jess klein
tegan and sara

those are just a few things to give you an idea of what's been cool to me lately, but i am really up to listen to anything and discover new stuff. i esp like stuff with really thought provoking lyrics.

so let me have it: what have you been listening to? who do you love? who have i got to check out?

quick question

Sun, 20 Jan 2008 17:59:22 GMT

hey all. i have an ibook G4 and my power cord broke and my computer's battery died. i'm just wondering if anyone has a spare power cord for that model laptop lying around that they would be willing to send to me. i know it's asking a lot, but i'm broke right now. i'd be happy to return it as soon as my loan check comes in (mid-feb) and i can buy a new cord. i know it's a long shot, but i thought i would ask. i'm missing my computer and thought there might be someone who's got a spare.

edited to add: i've got one winner, i'll take two more.

This is the neatest pay-it-forward holiday idea and I wanted to participate. I bet many of y'all would have fun with this.

May I choose a book for someone?

I shall be the not-so-secret Santa for (at least) the first person to respond to this post who is not already on my personal gift list.

You:

* Haven't yet met me in person.
* Like to read, or at least can stand it.
* Don't mind giving your real name and address to a stranger (me) when I give you my email address
* Will carry this forward.

I:

* Am your not-so-secret Santa.
* Will reply back to the first qualifying comment & I will be asking you to send me your mailing address via my email.
* Will study your Interests list, and decide on a book to send to you for Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Christmas, Giftmas, Yule, Solstice, whatever you like. The book might be a used book. It might be a book you already have (but I'm going to try not to send a common one).
* Will mail the book sometime so you will get it soonish (depending on how long it takes in the mail).

You:

* Carry it forward (do the same thing for someone on your friends list, or someone in real life).

that's right!!

my birthday

Mon, 08 Oct 2007 00:38:45 GMT

today is my 27th birthday. it's been a decent day. slept in and then went to my mom's house. she made a very nice dinner and a great cake. i got to spend some time with my little sister and we played catch and i pitched to her a bit. i love that kid so much and i miss her all the time. so it was really nice to spend some time with her. now i am home. i should be doing homework but i really don't want to. so i'm playing on the internet. so yeah, that's been my day. just a short update, but an update all the same.

what is the world coming to??

this story is so crazy to me. partly because i have no concept of the political situation in lebanon, but the fact that this story is about christian militias and the fact that the leader of the army and the leader of the country has to be a christian is astounding to me. good grief the world is messed up when "christians" are behaving like this:

just a quickie...

RENT

Mon, 10 Sep 2007 03:22:30 GMT

today steph and i unexpectedly got to go see RENT. anthony rapp and adam pascal are back in it for a limited time and today was one of their last performances. i have wanted to see them in RENT ever since i heard about the musical. it was amazing. i especially love anthony. i was hoping to get my picture taken with him, but he didn't have the time to do photos with people. but i did get him to sign my playbill and i did take some photos of him. he's a hottie! i was very excited to have the opportunity to do that. it was tres' cool.

i'll write more soon. sorry it's been a little sparse on here as of late. i am trying to get everything under control with the new semester. so far it's been a lot of time on the train. commuting this year is going to be rough. but you do what you gotta do. i'm looking forward to being able to catch a later train tomorrow and getting to sleep in a bit.

You scored as Severus Snape, Well you're a tricky one aren't you? Nobody quite has you figured out and you'd probably prefer it stayed that way. That said you are a formidable force by anyone's reckoning, but there is certainly more to you than a frosty exterior and a bitter temper.

from london

Mon, 23 Jul 2007 00:37:00 GMT

i'm writing from our hotel in london. just a short note to say that the wedding was amazing. we had a wonderful time, there was minimal drama and everything was pretty much perfect. steph looked incredible and the service was beautiful. so yay!

we arrived here safely. i have had three hours of sleep in the past 2 days and yet i am still holding up well.

we're having a great time so far. hopefully i'll get to write more soon. but all is well. tomorrow we sightsee in earnest.

wedding plannin

Mon, 16 Jul 2007 22:45:27 GMT

i am so out of it today. we are still without internet in our household; we're not getting it turned back on until after we get back from camp because of money issues, so i am sitting in panera bread. they have free wireless access and it is saving my ass right now.

today i have off and it's a flurry of wedding stuff. i have to burn 100 cds for our wedding favours. so i'm doing that while also planning out the ceremony. i'm piecing together threads of stuff from various traditions and sources and trying to get it all to flow seamlessly. it's turning out to be more complicated than i thought. but i think it's turning out well. my main concern now is length, but at the same time, it's our wedding and so who cares if it's a bit long.

yesterday steph and i, along with my friend kim and her girlfriend tiffany went tubing down the delaware. it had been about three years since i had been tubing and so it was a lot of fun. it was also a nice relaxing way to spend a day, which was much needed since this week is going to be absolute insanity. i am really beginning to wish that i had more time off this week because i'm not sure i'll be able to get everything done that i said i would do. everything is taking longer than i thought it was going to. i have tomorrow morning off, which is great, but they have me working from open to close on wednesday. i may have to try to get out of one of those shifts because i have a feeling more stuff will need to be done. new things keep coming up. and stuff needs to be done that i just didn't think of until now. so i'm getting a little stressed.

again, very thankful for yesterday's day of relaxation.

all right, this was a short little post and break, but i should get back to work. i'm almost done the ceremony, i just have to write one more prayer. woo hoo!
