Earlier this week, Puffy and BBC came up to get coffee and water and they brought me a project at the same time. Something related to it prompted Puffy to refer to it as the "star-spangled banner," which then caused me to start singing a bit of the song, and after a couple lines I then turned my attention to BBC, who'd come by my workstation, and I ( Read more... )

Alex, what is T's 21st birthday party ( Read more... )

Not a whole lot is going on around here, which is fine, but it means I'm punting for ideas. :P

Frozen was on this past Sunday, and between wanting to veg out for a while after being so busy earlier in the day, plus having only seen the movie once, it was a nice diversion. This also meant I've had "Let It Go" in my head for a good portion of the ( Read more... )

Hello again! I got back yesterday a little after 5. I must say, I am very thankful we had camp last week and not this week.

If I've not mentioned it, the security guards at the mall have started announcing that the mall is open. I don't know why. They just do. Those of us who open have gotten used to that...but today, after the announcement, there was a slight pause...and then came a rousing rendition of "God Bless America." Holy crap, what is that? Where is it ( Read more... )

Apparently this morning. After discovering my singing voice had come back, I sang in the shower this morning. I can't even remember what I sang, but it went sort of high. I am an alto. I've always been an alto. In fact, when I first joined choir in college, I was more of a *tenor* (I could hit the A in the middle of the bass clef staff, I kid ( Read more... )

This isn't going to be much about anything ( Read more... )
