Well, we’re going to see Fairport Convention next Monday night with Ken and Jen– cool! And we decided this morning to skip the music for date night and instead go to the Scotts Valley Dog Park opening. So, we do something that Hammer wants to do tonight, and something I want to do Monday night. Um, things John wants to do can be done any morning or evening or, frankly, mid-afternoon, so long as we’re home or at least in a private space (giggle).
I’m in a good mood today, I guess. Happy. Got to listen to some of the Moby CD last night– very soulful. I likes it. I’m currently in a “backup my CDs” mood again, because John got my CD-ROM working again, and I like having a nice, steady stream of music whenever I want. I need to remember to backup my Prince of Darkness CD when I get home– it’s the import, and I really do not want to lose or damage it (as I lost Cutthroat Island– fortunately I had a backup already!) I do need to get a headphone extender cable for my work computer so I can listen to CDs at work again. Though I suppose I could just pipe the music through my discman, now that I’ve got a replacement AC adapter for it.
Terrorists, or pissed-off Democrats? You decide.
OK, so I have, like, 3 doctors’ appointments coming up. I try to make them for the same day so I only have to miss 1 day of work. Naturally, this is impossible because:
- My OB/GYN does not work on Fridays and I have to schedule a month in advance to see her anyway
- My dentist does not have any late afternoon appointments until FEBRUARY (this is for my 6-month cleaning for crying out loud– by February, it’s time for my next cleaning!)
Whenever I get sick, I don’t bother trying to see a doctor, since none of them can see me for 2-4 weeks. I had 2 weeks off and couldn’t get in to my OB/GYN because I only called 2 weeks in advance.
Doctors drive me CRAZY!!!!
I made an entry earlier today that didn’t go through (Semagic said the server timed out), so I resubmitted, and then when I checked my journal, it showed up twice, so I deleted it, but it didn’t delete, and I deleted both of them. . . .
Yeah, you get the idea.
So, tomorrow’s journal entry will actually be from today– I did manage to save it as a draft before I shut down last night, so at least I still have the entry.
Goodie for me.
CD’s came today. O Brother, Where Art Thou? is wonderful– I dozed off on the couch listening to it. Still haven’t listened to the other two– Moby’s Play and Leonard Cohen’s Ten New Songs.
I’ve been yearning for more folk music lately, and more live stuff. I found a website that lists upcoming folk gigs in the bay area, so I’m going to see if I can drag John and maybe some friends off to San Jose for some Fairport Convention next Monday night. They’re really good, but I rarely get to hear their music. Also, there’s a CD release tomorrow for a local fiddler, but I don’t know if I can get John to drive up for date night.
So.. .tired. So much pain.
Yes, my head is back to hurting. I wonder if this is another variety of caffeine headache? I had it pretty bad on Tuesday, and I skipped mochas on both days because I thought I’d be feeling well enough to donate blood.
I had to defer again my blood donation. I’m just soooo tired. John thinks we’re fighting off a virus or something. If that’s the case, then it’s a good thing I’m not giving blood until Tuesday at this point.
Well, this is disturbing. Yes, the criminal who claimed a couple of weeks ago that he would be exonerated has been exonerated. . . . by a one-person decision. So, the judge basically decided that the 12-person jury was wrong? How hard is it to bribe or coerce one judge? How much harder is it to bribe or coerce twelve individuals? The article doesn’t state who the judge is in this case, for example, if he’s a Republican or Democrat– which would make a big argument against his objectivity, I should think.
I think Simon’s going to lose, but I’m saddened that he won’t lose big.
