not a wasted day...
...but boy, i'll have trouble selling that one to anyone else.
mainly i've just been oddly lucky at scrabble, snuggled the cat, relived a little bit of my musical awakening at age 14 (i was a late bloomer) thanks to youtube and my all-encompassing 12,000 song playlist leading me down a twisty maze of hazily remembered (and i was entirely sober!) music festivals in the 90's. material issue, dramarama, the chameleons UK, pearl jam, live, and hell if i can remember all the lineups! somewhere in there were the soup dragons and lush, but that might have been lollapalooza. oh, the halcyon days. if anyone's google-fu is better than mine and can find (or if the 5 of you who were in dallas and into that sort of music at the time can remember!) the dallas, tx (fair park coloseum/starplex amphitheatre--it changed names somewhere in there) lineups for edgefest one, two, and three back in the early 90's, as sponsored by local D/FW radio station 94.5 the edge....well, my memory would thank you!
anyhow, oldschool videos, new heights of scrabble geekdom [my ranking is more inflated than ever...if i could play this well in person i'd be competing with the pros at tournaments. hah. before i got within 50 points of where i am now.i was challenged by the top-rated player online and almost beat him, followed by another guy in the top10 to whom i lost by 2 points], cat, a couple of episodes of the simpsons, and packing ever so slightly (ok, so i got the boxes out and thought "gee, i don't want to pack") counts for anything...yeah.
but tonight promises to be active as i get geared up to head out to a dance party at locations unknown with some bikey people, followed by brunch with a new friend tomorrow morning...
ahh, i am soaking in it. where it probably equals slack. a vacation from my vacation, yanno?
i have another half-finished post about san francisco that'll come your way...uh. someday. probably before my 2007-in-review post, anyway. whee.
