101 to the 405

i love driving. i love early morning drives. this morning did not see me leaving as early as i would have liked, cuz i'm learning that i like sleeping in just about as much as early morning driving. anyhow. i digress. road tunes: tenacious d.: very good for the morning giggle; soundtrack from kissing jessica stein: very good for the early morning sing along (i go through phases, by my current favorite on that is devil may care.... i would love to sing this sometime but don't know what key it is in; so i will call it the key of krall); and the latest from laura love. god, i forgot its name again. i suck. this cd is good good good. it is not cohesive, meaning if you like eating from only one cuisine at a time, it may not be for you. the girl's all over the board. but i love this cd. if you can go for groovy-yodeling-celtic-afrocentric-bluegrass with a lean to the left, run, do not walk, to purchase this.

i'm in oc. there are a million things going on in slo town — beer fest and the blues fest, not to mention housewarming at shane's. but it's a three-day weekend which can equal awesome kickback time with my dad and janet, which might be more rejuvenating than slo-town-comes-alive. or maybe not. :)

i need to return most of my bookbuying purchases from last night. it nearly totalled two hundred smackers (which i didn't mention last night; yeah, there were more books involved than the ones i mentioned). i hang my head in bookbinge shame. maybe i can find a meeting for bookbuyers anonymous.

and the difference between me and macker (i mean besides the bible, the beauty, the brains, and the never cross-posting to two different lists at the same time — the loser) is that he has no shame over the overindulgence of books. well, that and my books are waaaaaay more interesting. ;)

note to kb: start slow. let your blog percolate to the top. it might take a couple months for it to find its rhythm. let it crawl before it walks. you are loved.

note to tissa: get thee to raindogs and pronto. there is no time to waste.
