Wow, I'm just sitting here and realizing how much I love life. It's one of those moments where it sort of just hits you, and not that I didn't love life before this - it has it's good and bad moments, but just now I had this swelling emotion of love and contentedness. I love when that happens. :)
"It struck me, strong as anything ever has -- I'm happy today."
"And what were you before today?"
"I don't know what it was -- the way the sun struck the ocean or the sound of the waves. It was simple whatever it was."
- Life as a House
The delightful aroma of Howe's coffee fills the house. It will not be brewed til morning, but the beans have been ground and sit awaiting to bring much excitement in the morning. I would just like to point out that Nicole has ruined me with Howe's coffee as it is the best coffee in the world, but you can only get it in PA, or from Nicole when her wonderful mom sends it. It has been quite awhile since we've had Howe's in this house so this is quite a joyous occasion. :)
So I'm wondering how I did not know til tonight that Zach Braff was nominated for an Emmy. Considering my love for Zach Braff this is something one would think I would have been aware of. And just to point out, I enjoy Zach Braff as an artist, I think he's a great writer, director, and actor and he makes me laugh, but I'm not some crazed fan who dreams of marrying him or anything. I just feel it necessary to clarify these things because I think there is some strange stigma put on being a "fan" that says if you like someone it means you want to meet him and get his autograph and expect that in the .2 seconds that you talk to him in the midst of a thousand other screaming fans you think you will be so charming as to sweep him off his feet and will marry him and live happily ever after in a mansion in Hollywood. I know nothing about this guy other than his work, so it would be crazy to think that. I just wanted to point that out because everyone seems obsessed about meeting famous people and all that crap and it gets a little overwhelming sometimes. Anyway, given the chance to work with him I'm pretty sure I would jump at it, but that's pretty much the extent of it. I've gotten way sidetracked here. The point was, I like Zach Braff and think it would be great for him to win.
The song of the week seems to be working now, let's hope it stays that way. As Galen knows more about bandwidth and all that fun stuff he helped me figure out that I should be able to do two songs a week, so be looking forward to that starting next week. I've had about enough messing with html for one week. Plus this way I'll have time to see if the server will actually be stable. I'm hoping today was just an unfortunate fluke.
My toenails are painted red right now. I like that, it's fun. You know what else is fun? Quiken. It's my new favorite thing. Who thought that making a budget and keeping good track of finances could be so fun? Possibly what makes it fun is actually having finances to keep track of, but regardless I'm enjoying my efforts at being responsible with it and I gotta say I think I'm pretty good at it. :)
Well I've hopped about topics and forgotten half of the stuff I wanted to say, so I think I'm done. Happy hump day everyone! And of course don't take it like that.

And I'm sure Natalie Portman must realize somewhere in her subconscious that she's in love with you. ;)
So since we are on the topic of famous actors and actresses... I actually have had the chance to meet one of Mr. McConaugheys co stars... miss Kate Hudson, got to see her on the Black crowes dates. And though it was in my best intentions to go and whisk her off her feet (along with Rider her son) and run off to a far away land and make beautiful babies together, I had to refrain because of the man singing on stage.. he kind of called the shots.
So if I was to actually whisk someone off ..it would have to be Rachel Mcadams, cause well she is just so adoreable. And I know she will love Naked Bongo night...
wait can you even play the Bongos?
Dude, we so do not endorse the imagined whisking away of married chicks and all the rest of that stuff that followed. And how did this post go so wrong? Was I not talking about the opposite of all of this?
I don't think proficiency of bongo playing is a requirement of naked bongo night, but since Nicole came up with it you'd probably have to ask her for specifics.
BTW i am sure someone famous wants to whisk me away too, i am just not sure who it is yet :)
Umm... tbtcckmm
Nicole: Eww.. all you want.. but i wasn't the one who brought it up.. and weren't you the one who came up with naked bongo night?
Bongos aren't that hard to play.. but you do have to have rythem.. it can't just be a bunch of people making banging noises on bongos...thats just chaos... and naked chaos...probably not a good idea.
Galen: Thank you for responding to my post in a nice yet effective way . Good point on the dunkins part needing to get on the ball. I guess it all comes down to where you grew up. Hence i grew up on the east coast with dunkin doughnuts.. I need to visit seatle sometime, it sounds like fun. I even hear they throw fish
You smell like a pckcbkp rose.
I want to experience Seattle, stereotypes and all. Umm except maybe the fish part. Blech.
Sorry friends that it's been awhile since I've posted, I will soon. At the very least you can expect a posting about the new song that will go up Monday. Though, I do plan to post something before that too.
