Now for today's post. Went to Las Cafeteras tonight. *Excellent* show. Never heard of them before, but high energy with an activist slant. Blend of all sorts of Latin inspired music. Stunning version of "This Land is Your Land." Wikipedia says "Las Cafeteras is a Chicano band from East Los Angeles, California.Their music fuses spoken word, folk ( Read more... )

Okay, not sure what happened to yesterday's post. I remember coming in after spending THE ENTIRE DAY replacing the AC shroud (obviously there was a leetle bit more involved than just climbing up there and screwing the new one on). I remember thinking that I needed to get my daily post done because I needed to go to bed. I remember sitting down at ( Read more... )

Watched a little bit of the RND while I was making dinner (basil pesto tortellini w/ Porcini Mushroom marinara) but fortunately my SB turned it off before it managed to put me off my food and we watched the fourth episode of "Longmire" instead. Interesting show and I'll watch anything with Lou Diamond Phillips in it (witness-Stargate Universe), but ( Read more... )

Actually got a full night's sleep. It's amazing what an improvement that can make on one's outlook. Also got some work done on The Thesis, got the strap installed on the mandolin (it didn't make the initial trip, so just got it in the mail the other day) and got to play with it a tiny bit. It's going to take a while, but I think I might manage to ( Read more... )

Went to the phone store and got a new phone for the youngest, who through several misadventures not entirely of her own making, went through two phones in a very short amount of time. The phone store visit took a *lot* longer than I expected, but they were trying really hard to sell us extra stuff that we Did Not Want. Then we had to shop for a ( Read more... )

Actually got in bed early last night. Well, early for me, anyway. Was fast asleep before eleven o'clock, sleeping the good sleep ( Read more... )

Last lesson with the substitute cello professor today. She is really pretty fab. Regular prof is back on Tuesday. Hoping she brings the newest spawn with her ( Read more... )
