Pickin flowers for - Best Kissers in the World

Tiny bits today:

*I took the posted photo! It may be the best photo I have ever taken! I had a bag of Anne of Green Gable wildflower seeds. We had so much rain this year, wildflowers are aboundant. I smile when I drive up and see them. Even Dan comments how beautiful they are. Need to go to NS to buy another bag of seeds-haha!

*I am listening to the new Bauhaus CD. Yes, they have a new release. I seem to have this tiny goth side to me. It is pretty damn good so far.

*Speaking of the NS trip. I had so much more planned by this time last trip. I am waiting for tax return to buy flight. I am just so confused what to do about NFLD. I need a panel of experts as to what to do.

*I did not end up going to California for Matt Good. Andrew could not get off work because it is Spring Break. Maybe we will go up to see him with a full band but those dates get close to the NS trip.

*Spring Break is right baby! Some folks have told me it was no big deal when I had to give up the stauffer office BUT this week is proof that I need my own time. Now don't get me wrong, I love the kids but just the opportunity to finish an email without interruption is a blessing. I needed the mix of alone time with student time.

*I turn 41 in less than a week. I dragged Dan around shopping so I assured myself some gifts-hahaha! I got it in my head I wanted an old radio for my new office. (huge shock, I found out last week I get a window!) I ended up with two radios, one from an antique store in Chandler and one from ebay.

* Saw video of 4 new Sloan songs today that they did at the murderrecords relaunch. Nobody seems to like the Murphy song but I did. Jay's song was my favorite of the 4 songs. Ever since Ruh told me that most folks in T-dot would like to hear a Jay solo record, I have thought about the fact that his songs are closest to the indie pop played on college radio these days. It is good old power pop to me but I can see why he is the indie kids fave member.

*No students at ASU for a week means Leah can play Jian's show loud in the entire Blaze offices.

* Billy Talent was added to the Tempe Music Festival. I am not really a big fan but it would be cool to have them come by the Maple Minutes...

* Sugar Free candy is pretty darn good. They need to work on sugar free ice cream.

* I eat yogurt now, with nuts. Who am I?

* I should have listened to Hutch, I love this macbook way better than my own laptop.

* Dan and I realized we are magazine addicts.

* Peter Murphy still has a great voice. A new generation of kids will want to slit their wrists to this record-hahah!
