Battlestar Galactica concert

Last night Paul took me on a geek date, a date to see Bear McCreary in concert! Who you say (and I said)? Well, you know, the music scores from Battlestar Galactica! Well, in that case, I am totally there!


And his blog.

It was one of the best concerts I have ever been to (despite having to stand the whole time- waiting in line, before the show, for the preshow, for the intermissions, etc.) The whole band got up there and played with a fervor that I have only heard about. There were roughly 12 members of the band who all bobbed in rhythm, played with furry, and had a tremendous energy level of a rocking band session. I all of a sudden wanted to be a rock musician. Dust off the silt covering my violin, restring my guitar, put batteries in the keyboard... and rock on! Then I thought, I was probably better off playing Rock Band on "Easy". Better for my ego.

If you haven't heard the CD, get it. If you haven't watched the show, you should just stop talking to me. But, if you get a chance, you should buy tickets and see the show!

Oh, guest appearance was stellar... anyone want to see Candise McClure in a short miniskirt?

10 Things I appreciate

This is for Emily, since posting a response this long on her blog might have overloaded the system! So here are a few things I appreciate today:

1. The hubs- he is always there for me.
2. The fam and friends - people you can call when you need to hear a nice voice.
3. Gertrude Hawk Chocolates
4. Having my eyesight!
5. Good food - sushi, indian, thai, korean bbq, anything I can fill my tummy with!
6. The janitor at CGU that whistles while he works (and all happy workers). I don't think I have ever caught myself humming or whistling while taking out my garbage. I don't hate the job, but it never makes me sing. It just amazes and inspires me when someone can show me that some things are just not worth worrying about, so you might as well have some fun with it! (Woton sure thinks dumping the garbage out is fun).
7. Free Sidley lunches - free food tastes good.
8. The faucet in the girls room at my work that automatically turns on randomly when no one is around. This never fails to make me laugh out loud.
9. These words: abscond, quaff, defenestrate, blunderbuss, and of course, wench
10. The zoo at my house (and all the outdoor kitties too)

Another day at the Huntington

The Huntington is such a wonderful place to go walk around that we find ourselves there often!

I think I only post under stress...

I posted a lot the weeks I had midterms going on. And today I noticed that because I was feeling sick and sleeping most of the day, and therefore had a lot of homework left undone that was stressing me out, that I wanted to play with other things on my computer. So I updated the family tree on geni.com (awesome site by the way), and now I am blogging about blogging. At least it isn't about my cats. Well, wait a moment, I might post one of those too!
