Vienna Teng -- A Musical Interlude
Vienna Teng's Gravity, two versions. I have long liked this song (it appeals to the hopeless romantic within me).
River version (this would be considered "standard", but is presented here as a recording from a concert):
Lake version (this is from her site, and is basically just another arrangement of the same song.):
So there you have it. ( Read more... ) -
More Thoughts on Benny Goodman
It was as if June 13, 1986 was a line of demarcation for my whole life. Before I heard that Benny Goodman had died, I had childish fantasies of seeing him play, and even meeting him. I was very much a child, believing in a lot of things that weren't true at all. The biggest of those things was that my family would be together forever.
It was only a ( Read more... ) -
Over My Head
I was on my balcony last night and shot these with just my digital camera. It's amazing what a little determination and luck will get a girl. I'm just pissed that I wasn't perfectly centered. But I did my best. No one but God knows where lightning will be. This happened about 11pm or so. I'm glad I didn't die, but I was under cover, so... it wasn't ( Read more... ) -
Dating Story #13 - "Must Be Model" Guy
So yeah. I am dipping my toe into the concept of dating -- DaveH says I should get back on the horse. So I reupped with eHarmony and so far, nothing exciting has grabbed me.

Perhaps I Will Find Treasure There
Listen to this, and then look at the picture that I took outside my window on one of the crappiest days I've had recently. Made me feel a lot better. :-) Camera phones aren't high quality, but it got the job done.

Orchid Mo
I loved Mo. I still do. I miss her terribly, all this time later.
Who the heck is Orchid Mo?!
Well, I never actually met her. Orchid Mo was her email handle. And I can't confirm that she was even actually female, though I feel like she was honest. I met her a bajillion years ago in Everquest Live, even before I knew Paul, so there you go. She played ( Read more... ) -
Definitions of Relationships in the Age of Cyberspace
I was thinking about this topic today as I made some changes to my contact list.
When I asked Google to stop telling me when he's online, that's when I really knew it was over. When I took him out of my speed dial on my cell phone, it reminded me that it's, like, totally over. So did the title edit I had to do to his entry in my digital address book ( Read more... ) -
Aunt Sandy Has Cancer, and I Don't Care
Call me heartless, because I probably am.
I talked with my mother on Sunday, and she let me know that my Aunt Sandy got diagnosed with Stage IV lung cancer. She's my step-father's sister, but they've been in my life since I was small. Anyway, her entire family is in total denial that this woman in her early fifties is likely going to die of cancer ( Read more... ) -
So Long, Too Long
It's been far too long since I posted. So much has happened, I kept putting off the posting. The more you put it off, the harder it is to post.
Let left my old job, got a new job, lost that one in bitterly unfair ways, lived in extraordinarily unpleasant times for a while, got a new job, moved to Long Island, broke up with my boyfriend, got a cat, ( Read more... )
