Playlist or Why We Clearly Don't Have the Same Taste in Music!

I've been meaning to do this for a few days, but have been sidetracked. Since I got my iPod back, I've been enjoying such songs as:

1) "Oh Sherrie" by Steve Perry
2) "Volcano Girls" by Veruca Salt
3) "Summer of '69" by Bryan Adams
4) "Say it to Me Now" by Glen Hansard
5) "Short Skirt/Long Jacket" by Cake
6) "Delilah" by The Dresden Dolls
7) "No Air" by Jordin Sparks & Chris Brown
8) "Innocent" by Our Lady Peace
9) "Rock DJ" by Robbie Williams
10) "Napoleon" by Ani DiFranco
11) "I Am...I Said" by Neil Diamond
12) "Pork & Beans" by Weezer

This is just a small sampling out of the 3396 songs on my iPod. But, I love having it back!!!!

Things that make you go "hmmm"

Normally, news doesn't really rattle me all that much. Then, this story came out today. My heart goes out to the VanderStelt family. Troy and his brother Trent went to my high school, but I didn't know them.

Later in the afternoon, I started thinking about people that act on their rage in unhealthy ways. I realized that every day, me and my co-workers deal with these types of people, and it sort of freaked me out. You never really think that anything like this would happen at work, but how in the world can you prevent it?

R.I.P. UGA VI

It is truly a sad day.

Oh joy!!!!

So, this AM - a transformer blew across the street, causing our power to go out at 7am. Neither of us got showers today (until I came back from my doctor's appointment and got one).

However, I think this happened for a reason. We never use our front door at the house, always going out through the garage. So, we had to use the front door this morning, and lo and behold, there's a UPS package in the door! I wondered if Eric was expecting something. Then I looked at who it was from - Best Buy!!!!

About two weeks ago, my iPod finally died. (R.I.P.) Eric went to buy me a new one when he got back from New Jersey, to learn that the extended warranty he purchased on my first iPod was still valid until Sept. 20 of this year!!!! So, I took my iPod in to get a new one, and the guy at the Geek Squad counter said I should be able to pick it up in a week. They would call when it was done.

Hm, funny how it got mailed. But, I feel complete again. I will have my tunes with me again!!!!!

You Rock!

Yeah, instead of a read-a-thon, I've been playing Guitar Hero. I went and bought the new Aerosmith version today, and we got the one with the guitar so we can have two guitars. So, Eric and I have been playing together, and we have our own band. Yup, we're nerds.

I took tomorrow off. I'm planning on mastering the one day work week (I have every day this week except Tuesday off). I have a few things to take care of on Tuesday, but otherwise, I have time off in order to read, clean my apartment, watch some movies, and just take some time to myself. I feel like it's been a long time coming, and I'm really looking forward to it.

Off to bed...

My eyes just can't take it anymore. I must go to sleep. I will be reading more tomorrow. Sigh.

Continuing on and a Guitar Hero break!

I am continuing reading The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao but I think I might pick up a new book soon. I can't decide between American Nerd or The Enchantress of Florence.

I have too many books I want to read, and not enough time (and today, energy!)

I did take a Guitar Hero break - waiting to get the new Aerosmith game tomorrow!!!!!
