My Budding Magician

Munchkin is a fan of all things magic. Not only is he a huge fan of Potter, he loves illusions. Cris Angel is a particular favorite. Mindfreak is actually on the TiVo.
He’s been bugging me for weeks to go to Eddie’s Trickshop, so today I finally gave in and took him. Thirty bucks later and we [...]

Soundtrack 2

Typical.
I come up with an idea for recurring weekly posts, and the second in the “series” is a big, glorious flop.
I tell you I have songs dancing through my head, changing just about daily, and this past week I have one. Just one measly song. What is that all about? Did my inner soundtrack decide, [...]

Music Genome Project

I was futzing around on Facebook again last night (surprise) when one of my friends logged in and added his new status. He was on pandora.com. Hmmm, I wonder what pandora.com is?
Because I have an insatiable curiosity when it comes to websites people enjoy and visit and mention (ie Woot), I had to go take [...]

Inappropriate Vanity License Plates

There is a woman in our neighborhood who has a sporty little convertible, a young child and rents a house with a roommate. All wonderful and normal things.

Snippets of things I hear on the radio, things I’ve played in the past, scales and arpeggios, fingering excercises, ornamentation, made up crap. You name it, it runs around [...]

Stupid Baggers…

I’ve been putting off writing a post for the past week. Why you ask? Because I can’t decide what I want to write about. It’s not so much writer’s block as it is writer’s avalanche. There are so many things going on inside my head I don’t know where to start. It’s looking like my [...]

Facebook

I’ve been really tired lately and most of it is self-induced. I “discovered” Facebook about a month ago.
Now, when I say I “discovered” Facebook, it does not mean I did not know it existed until a month ago (if that were the case it would be quite a large and distant rock I had been [...]

August Calendar Page

God, I can’t believe it’s August already. Where has the time gone. Munchkin is back in school, 6th grade. A big fish this year. Hopefully he’ll take to it well.
Anyhoo… here is the calendar page for this month. Look at me getting it out on time. Amazing! (Gotta love the pre-scheduling feature!)

 This is munchkin with [...]
