Why Am I Awake So Early?
Considering that I got back from the gym at 12:15 a.m. this morning and didn’t make it to bed for another half an hour after that, waking up at 7:30 a.m. on a holiday weekend is surprising. I certainly epitomized Labor Day weekend thus far – did 4 loads of laundry, hand washed about 9 … Continue reading
And Now For Musical Monday
Friday night I went to see Kermit Ruffins at Brick and Mortar. He’s a trumpet player from New Orleans, who’s hot at the moment because he’s a regular on the HBO series “Treme.” I had a ticket to see him in New Orleans at One Eyed Jacks, but missed his performance (long story, which I … Continue reading
Back in Cold, Gray San Francisco
I’ll keep thoughts of Santa Fe for awhile longer, though, especially with some more Ottmar Liebert for Musical Monday! “Santa Fe” – Ottmar Liebert With that, here are a few more parting shots:
Musical Monday Makes Up For It
Due to my disappointment the other night, I’ll allow Harry to make it up to me with this video. This still has me fiending for New Orleans. I long to be there again on a sultry summer night in a crowded bar listening to some phenomenal live music while the scent of magnolias lingers in … Continue reading
Musical Mosaic
As you may have noticed, all kinds of music, with the exception of country, appeal to me. A month or so ago, I was at Yoshi’s to see Irie Love and CRSB perform. Irie Love, who hails from Hawaii, sings reggae. CRSB, Bay area guys with ties to Hawaii, sing more mainstream pop/hip hop kind … Continue reading
It’s Going To Be One of Those Nights…
where I go to bed at 1:00 a.m. and get up the following morning at 6:45 a.m. Why is that, you ask? Because it’s 11:40 p.m. and I just got home from the gym about 5 minutes ago. Once this post is finished, I have to take a quick shower, take my contacts out, wash … Continue reading
It’s The Kid…
Rock, that is. Yesterday a few friends and I went to a concert at Shoreline Amphitheater in Mountain View (over where Google and Linked In headquarters are located) to see Uncle Kracker, ZZ Top and Kid Rock. I was more interested in the last two more than Uncle Kracker. There were plenty of “older” people … Continue reading
Party Like A Rock Star… Or Not
What an unproductive weekend! Friday was the last day for one of the analysts, a female, in our office. She had plans to go out drinking with the analysts from our group (finance) and the other group (real estate) around 4:00 p.m. One of our male analysts invited me along as well, though he showed … Continue reading
Going Old School Again
For Musical Monday, we’re taking another step back to the fabulous 80’s. This was one of my favorite songs ’cause I always listened to The Cure and The Psychedelic Furs! I went to a Cure concert at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena once and bought one of their T-shirts. All they had left of the … Continue reading
I’m Rick James, B****!
I bet THAT got your attention, huh?! For this Musical Monday, we’re gonna’ go WAAYYY back. I used to sing this song so damned much at the top of my lungs that my Thai then-boyfriend dubbed me “Tina Jane.” I STILL sing it whenever I hear it! We all know that this song refers to … Continue reading
