Awards

Sunday, February 27th, 2005

Well, it was about as ho-hum as you could get, I guess. No big surprises. Nothing exciting. And the music … the music … was there music? Seems like there wasn’t. At least nothing memorable. But still I like to watch ‘em. I’m a sucker for this stuff!
Oh .. and Depp … well, he just [...]

Oscar Evening

Sunday, February 27th, 2005

I found this list (below) via terminaldegree’s site (which I usually visit from my oboe site) via Making Peace With Myself’s site. You needed to know all that, right?
So what the heck, I’ll join in!
Oscar nominated movies from 2004 that I HAVE seen:
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
The [...]

Born Today

Saturday, February 26th, 2005

The greatest happiness of life it the conviction that we are loved — loved for ourselves, or rather, loved in spite of ourselves.
Victor Hugo was born on February 26, 1802
(French romantic poet, novelist and dramatist, 1802-1885)
(I was told that Hugo wasn’t a Christian. I puzzle over this a bit, having read Les Miserables.)
How well I have [...]

Seussical!

Saturday, February 26th, 2005

Dan & I just purchased our tickets for the Seussical Benefit. This means we not only see the show, but we also get to watch the cast warm up, and we received a dinner too. Great fun! Of course these tickets are more costly ($30 a piece) so if any readers out there want to [...]

A Hot Story

Thursday, February 24th, 2005

Let’s say you are making tacos. You put the oil in the pan and turn on the heat. Then you think of something you meant to write to your husband. So you sit down and start composing your email. And you get a bit distracted.
So you write. And read.
And then you turn around.
The [...]

Arrogance

Thursday, February 24th, 2005

Yesterday’s post sounded a bit arrogant. Sigh.
I’m good at that.
I don’t mean to sound arrogant. I certainly don’t mean to sound as if I see all things clearly while the left & right don’t. Shoot, sometimes I am the left or the right. Mostly I’m the middle.
No. Mostly I’m the muddle.
Anyway, many [...]

Lost Then Found

Thursday, February 24th, 2005

I realized this morning that I was missing my checkbook. The last time I remembered having it was at the ATM at Wells Fargo. So I quickly drove over there.
When I asked the teller if they might have it she said “We might. If it’s been over three days, though, we destroy them.”
Huh? We [...]

Disney Can Do Anything

Wednesday, February 23rd, 2005

“Fantastically restored, beyond its original brilliance.”
This is a sentence from the ad for the new release of Bambi. I find it humorous, but then I have an odd sense of humor.

Right and Left

Wednesday, February 23rd, 2005

I read blogs from the extreme right. I read blogs from the extreme left. It’s because of who I am, I guess. (I’m a Christian who is a musician and someone who believes in absolutes and a registered Democrat (gasp!) who is anti some things and pro others - which I won’t go into here [...]
