For various reasons, I was unable to post updates as I went along this weekend.  Mostly because putting the laptop's power cord next to the laptop bag isn't the same as putting it *into* the laptop bag.  Doh.  Most on-the-fly updates were via Twitter (hazelmoon) and thence Facebook.

And now I'm still not going to post a travelogue.  Mostly because, ( Read more... )

Have I mentioned how very pretty all my LJ friends are?  And so very smart and sweet.  All of you ( Read more... )

Reposting this because I've run out of good ways to ask y'all to donate money (and thank you to those who have!), and I'm at work anyways and don't have much time (and also because LJ did something weird to the post I posted yesterday).  Please repost in your journals, myspace, facebook, etc, if you could.  *Edited to add donation information at ( Read more... )

So I did some math... if everyone on my friends list donated $10 to Lyrics For Life, I'd make my goal.  But I know that people have budgets and sometimes can't donate (it's been me way too often, and I regret that), and I know that some of you were very generous last year when I came begging for donations.  But if you could maybe look under the ( Read more... )

Most of you are familiar with my skydiving escapade last summer, and many of you helped me raise money for Lyrics For Life toward that goal.  Well, the time has come again for me to ask for help in reaching my goal of once again falling out of an airplane in support of children's cancer research.

Lyrics For Life is an organization founded by Ken ( Read more... )

I seem to have misplaced my Zen Vision:M.  This would be worthy of tearing the house apart, and probably still is, but thanks to my trusty Palm Centro and its 4GB micro-SD card, I have enough music at my fingertips to keep me happy.  I'm somewhat odd in that I love music, but only the music I really love.  Kind of like how I can read a book ( Read more... )

One of the things that made last weekend amazing was getting to see some live music that I didn't know would be so good. Oddly, I enjoyed the performance of Who's That Pack even more than the Sister Hazel 3/5 show that followed them. Confronted with a table full of CD's after the show, from each of the five guys in the Pack, I knew that I wanted ( Read more... )

My Monday mornings don't usually involve a slight white wine hangover, or the feeling that it was still worth it ( Read more... )

There will be pictures at a later point, and possibly a youtube video to share, but I wanted to let y'all know that I DID IT ( Read more... )

I'm in Boston.  I have successfully rented a car, driven in Boston, gotten lost in Boston, driven to New Hampshire, gotten severely lost in New Hampshire (don't ask), returned to Boston, got SEVERELY lost in Boston, nearly got into an accident by turning down a one-way street (yep, not the one-way everyone else was going, GAH), had a minor panic ( Read more... )
