Friday Five

1. What was the first band you saw in concert? Powerstation at Poplar Creek

2. Who is your favorite artist/band now? It depends on my mood. There isn't really ONE favorite. I go from Peter Gabriel to The Rollins Band to any kind of jazz being played on WBEZ to Irish folk music. I like just about everything.

3. What's your favorite song? I really like The Rollins Band's song Liar. But I also really like Peter Gabriel's Washing of the Water off the US album. Then there are moments where all I listen to is the one song off the Stay Cats Album "Choo Choo Hot Fish" called My Heart is a Liar. Really, asking me to name only one song is like asking me to name only one band.

4. If you could play any instrument, what would it be? Well, I did play the flute in grade school, I was actually very good at it. But I'd really like to be able to play drums or piano.

5. If you could meet any musical icon (past or present), who would it be and why? I've always wanted to meet the boys from Duran Duran. But now I wouldn't mind meeting Henry Rollins because he just seems like such a cool guy.

Office stuff

So I get this email today:

I LOST MY STAPLER (BETTER THAT THAN MY MIND). IF YOU SEE IT...IT IS AN OLD ONE � A CHROME JOB WITH A BIG BUTTON TYPE LIKE TOP THAT YOU PRESS TO DISPENSE THE STAPLES. THANKS FOR LOOKING AROUND

Yes it was typed in all caps just like that... our office manager doesn't really know the rules for emailing. I'm just worried that now she's turning into Milton from the movie Office Space

DEATH

No, no one has died...well, no one that I know has died anyway. The death is of my creative juices. I can think of nothing amusing or witty to say over at Snotty Bitch about the trip to Vegas. There were no sightings of Elvis, only one naked man statue to photograph, and all the other witty things have been used by the other gals. My brain is full, it's time to go home and empty it out to make room for more.
*sigh*

Vegas

So I won NOTHING while in Vegas. I did however, manage to come home with a lovely little bag of "snack mix" that has the Delta Airlines logo on it. I got to spend an extra two hours in Salt Lake City. And I took that time to finally get a good picture of some mountains. Once I have made the pictures a bearable size I'll post them here. A very nice man sat next to me on the plane home. He shared his cashews with me. I shared my Swedish Fish with him. I tried to sleep, but that just wasn't working for me. I finished off my book and pondered starting the next one but decided against it. For the longest time it was just black outside the window. I wondered when I'd see the lights of the city since they had announced we were about to land. Then suddenly, the lights appeared out of no where... the cloud cover over the city (since it had been storming) was so great that it blocked out all the lights until we were under the clouds and landing. It was really neat.
Pictures will be posting soon...once I've adjusted the sizes.
