My balance was shot this morning, though I think that might have had [...]

…I'm posting a 30-second clip of myself singing a bit from one of the songs I'm learning. (So what if popular demand only consists of one or two people? I can still dream, can't I?

There seem to have been a shortage of good old-fashioned adventure movies since Raiders of the Lost Ark…Props to Kerry Conran for it. I was pretty impressed with [...]

According to this article, Florida is in the path of yet another hurricane. Yes, this really sucks for Floridans. However, since pretty much everyone by now is making election year jokes, I'm announcing my

My last set of grandparents are sending me $1000.
*sings* I'm getting a car…I'm getting a car…

A great big BAH! to cramps on a day when I'm on the upswing, emotionally. But then, it's a helluva lot better than having them on day when life just seems impossible (i.e. two days ago)…having things feel pretty good otherwise makes them a bit more bearable.
Plus I have no music lesson today, so [...]
