How Do I Vote … How Do I Vote?

Saturday, September 30th, 2006

Let’s see … Chevron says to vote no on the gas tax, and R. J. Reynolds says no to the cigarette tax.
Two companies I respect so darn much.
Or not.
I’m weary of phone calls and mail from politicians. I wish we could sign up for a “Do not annoy me” list that would make these [...]

Uh-Oh

Friday, September 29th, 2006

So I thought that I’d just download a TV show or two off of iTunes, just to see how it works, and to try out the iPod with these things. (They’re cheap, or I wouldn’t bother.)
Now I’m looking at iTunes and it says that one will take 8 hours to download, and the other [...]

Sigh

It’s a headache day. But such is life. Sometimes headaches just insist on existing and having their way. Go figure.
A music teacher has a site where she lists her attributes. Then she writes about her weakness. And that is … drum roll … she’s too nice!
Okay, okay, she was saying she needs to come [...]

At least I think that’s what I just heard on the

Back to “Normal”
Yes, I’m back to the universities, and most of my private students are back to their regular schedules. And yes, I’m very glad! Just so you know. :-)
Pondering
I wonder what our car salesman would have thought if he knew I ran from the shower to the phone in the “all together” (which isn’t [...]

Whew

When I drove Jameson to school today we stopped off at Starbucks and he picked up a mocha. I, knowing I’d be driving to UCSC, figured I’d get my coffee in Santa Cruz. If I even got it then. (I’m finding that coffee isn’t quite as enjoyable these days.)
Mistake!
I was so sleepy I could barely [...]

Hah.

I just received some spam with the subject header “Male muscle boosting system”.
I first read it as “Male music boosting system” and I couldn’t quite figure out what that was all about.

Whew!

After dropping Jameson off at school I stopped by Safeway to pick up a few things. Only when I drove into the garage did I realize my purse was missing.
Pulse rate a bit higher (though really not much; I was fairly calm and praying …) I drove back to the store.
A woman had turned in [...]

Dreams

Monday, September 4th, 2006

Lately I have had a lot of odd dreams. Often I find myself in my house … but it’s not like it is now. I always find I have more rooms than I thought; wonderfully undiscovered rooms that need a bit ‘o work. But still … more room. And I’m always happy about that.
The thing [...]

Well yes, I’m still awake

Monday, September 4th, 2006

If you look at the time stamp you’ll see it’s somewhat early on Monday morning. Just a bit after 12 AM, in fact.
The thing is, I got home from opera rehearsal and needed to “come down” a bit. This happens.
I’m mainly posting here because I wanted to be sure and say I’m still [...]
