+due to the magic of mistakenly doublebooking ourselves, the mister & i organized our own little mini-fest of music this eve: first wye oak @ the bowery ballroom (he plays the drums + the keyboard *at the same time*), then stellastarr @ pianos (so awesome!), then quick quick back to bowery ballroom for the last half of a truly exhilarating set by o'death. great fuckin' night.
+dinner tonight: shared pastrami sandwich from katz's. oh MAN.
+my new usb headset (for use w/the gizmo # for my soon-to-be freelance business) came today, and it is whisperlight and futuristic and cool and i suddenly want to call everyone from my computer.
+still thanking the heavens every day for the xmas-present headphones the mister agreed to give me early after my beloved set died. how do people LIVE with regular earbuds? i wanted to punch everyone on the train for two weeks while shuffling about with the interim last-resort backup phones. "these shitty earbuds keep falling out + they hurt my ears + i CAN HEAR YOU."
+first freelance job on deck. let's hope it seeds the pot for more tk.
+got my fave fountain pen cleaned out & working again.
+one of my most beloved authors is in town next week + we are going to have a final hurrah dinner on the corporate amex before they take if from me. YES, i WILL have some wine, THANK YOU.

On the way to Tulsa, we heard Public Enemy, NWA, LL Cool J, and Beastie Boys back-to-back on the radio. Awesome to the max.
I met Michael Chabon at the book signing following his comments and Q & A. He was very gracious... even though I turned into a little girl as he signed my beat-up copy of Kavalier and Clay.
I did not, however, lilhan (though it was tempting.)

+ Multiple messages/PHONE CALLS assuring me of general safety/happiness for my boys serving in Iraq. + Last week of the semester + Bad Brains on Saturday (BOXING SPOILER) + Pacquiao beats the shit out of De La Hoya forcing him to quit on the stool after the eighth. This is like a World Series win for Filipinos. Video: www.mmatko.com/oscar-de-la-hoya-vs-manny-pacquiao-fight-video-boxing/

Santa found what was missing from the sleigh. On sale. The kids, they is set, and the budget, she is not even close to busted.

Ghostbusters is my favorite film ever. Naturally, something like this is going to be pretty substantial on my radar.
All four principal actors- Murray, Aykroyd, Ramis, and Hudson- provided voices. I heard a rumor that William "Walter Peck" Atherton is in this, too.
This video confirms a Wii version... imagine using the controller to zap ghosts... AWESOME.
It's almost enough to salve the fact that tonight is the last episode of Boston Legal...

There were about four when I last checked. EDIT;; there are 3 SIK. Edit 2 - there are 4 SIK, since I just became one.
