Ramblings for Monday morning
I received an email from John Mayer's fan club this morning telling me that he's going to be doing a "Rock The Boat" type of cruise next Feb 1-4. I think I might want to go to this; however I need more details and I'd have to do some fancy footwork to be able to get time off for both Sundance and this cruise. It would only be two days off technically but it's also at the start of my busiest time.
If it sounds cool enough when the details come in and I can find someone who'd want to go with me, I'd be willing to start the negotiations with work. It's not like I couldn't be in contact with work while I was on the ship. At least, I think I'd still have cell reception. I just want to see the intimate "club-like setting" shows. It's $699 per person based on double occupancy which doesn't sound horrible.
I'm going to Napa in a week and a half and I can't wait. I really need the downtime away from everything. I need to relax. I've figured out that my life has become very much a race to get things done and the enjoyment of actually doing whatever I'm doing has gone out of them. For example, when I'm watching a movie, tv, reading a book, or whatever, my mind is constantly thinking, "How much time is left? How many pages do I have left?" It's just a race to get to the next thing on my list of things to do. This happened to me several years ago and I went and spent almost a month in Hawaii to get out of the cycle I was in. Hawaii will come later this year. For now, Napa will have to do. I get into this multi-tasking zone and then I can't focus on any one thing because I get bored and my attention wanders. It's very frustrating!
Tomorrow night is Al Gore night! Can't wait to see him! This will be the first time I will see him speak in person. It's very exciting for me as I am such a huge fan of him and the things he stands for. He's still my ideal president.
My Darren Hayes shows are one month away and I can't even explain where my head is at knowing that they are so close. You know how everyone has that one musician or band that they can never get enough of? He is it for me. And considering how very rarely I've seen him perform in the past 7 years, this is a dream come true.
I think this is going to be Brett Favre's last year with the Packers. I just really have a feeling this will be it. Having said that, I need to get tickets to his last game at Lambeau on Dec 30th. There are already tickets available so I need to keep an eye out. The only thing is that I'm confused about is which side the Packers sit on. I was at a game a couple of years ago and the side that they sat on then is not the same side that people selling their tickets now are claiming that they sit on. When I saw them they sat on the side with the Oneida gate (which is on the odd numbered side) and people are selling tickets saying it's the even side now. Weird. And of course the Packers' website does not give this info. I guess I'll have to call the box office or something. I don't think they change each year so I'm thinking that I'm right.
Work calls. I think that this summer might not be as slow as I was hoping. I foresee long hours ahead of me once June hits. I'm going to enjoy leaving at 4pm every day until then. :D
