Last night I left work and drove home listening to stuff from my iPod via my new iTrip FM transmitter, which is groovy but doesn’t sound half as good as XM radio. When I got home I was exhausted. The flu isn’t entirely over yet, I guess. I nuked a frozen burrito, ate it, had […]
Today I downloaded two MP3s that said they were Al Green. They weren’t. They were Bill Withers. If they’d been from the same host I would have understood, but they were from two different hosts, which means that quite possibly two different people think two different Bill Withers tunes are actually the Reverend Al Green. […]
Since I was online at Ticketmaster buying a ticket for Joe so he can see Gov’t Mule with us this Thursday night, I went ahead and picked up Joe Jackson/Todd Rundgren tickets. So YES, we’re going to Chicago in May! SWEET! Hopefully I’ll find some money by then and will be able to get some […]
If you read dooce.com, you probably read the Times article about ‘mommy blogs’ (the phenom of meticulously documenting the perils of parenthood on the Internet) in which she was interviewed. There are thousands upon thousands of blogs on the web, and I can tell you that most of them (including this one) aren’t worth reading. […]
I’ve got 4 new CDs coming from Amazon.com, and an FM transmitter coming from Apple. Soon I’ll be feeding my iPod, and shortly after that I’ll be feeding my iPod to my car stereo. I will be so very rockin’ out during my commutes! Iowa radio, if you’re not aware, is DISMAL. I never listen […]
Does anybody have any desire to go see Todd Rundgren and Joe Jackson in 2005 at any of these places? I haven’t seen Todd in forever and I really doubt my husband would be interested enough to travel all the way to Ohio or Illinois or any of the other rather far Midwestern dates! SOMEONE […]
Guess who’s goin’ to see Gov’t Mule at The Blue Note in Columbia, MO on February 17th? Me! And my beloved redhead, of course. I just bought us tix and reserved a cheap-ass motel online. Yay! It’s a trip! A trip to… well, a trip to Missouri, *gag*, but still! To see Government Mule! (I […]
Since I was blogless at the time, you haven’t read about how my beloved loaded the Jeep onto a trailer barely able to support its weight and ferried it to Haney’s in Libertyville one fine day. I’ve been without a vehicle for two weeks, but I got the Jeep back today, with the hole in […]
For a dog, Bindu acts a lot like a cat. And for a cat, Buz acts a lot like a dog. Bindu likes to nap in sunbeams and groom other animals. Buz likes to jump into a pile of playing retrievers and punch them on the snouts and run away. Brett and I had a […]
Friday, the biggest party night of the year, we did nothing. Brett fell asleep on the couch ’round eight; I read and listened to my iPod and wandered around the house amusing myself and probably fell asleep sometime after midnight. I really don’t recall. Saturday, with the PlayStation on the fritz and his paycheck burning […]
