Twenty Things
Well, I’ve gone for probably the longest period yet of not updating my journal. Sometimes I have to keep a list of things I want to talk about so I don’t forget them. Other times I choose not to write because I don’t feel that I have a whole lot to say. Things have been way too busy. There are a lot that I could write about – detailed stuff. Instead, I thought I would jot down a list of things on my mind. Nothing too deep or detailed, just thoughts and things…
1. My favorite TV shows – Desperate Housewives, Gray’s Anatomy, Medium, 24, Nip/Tuck, Lost, Alias, Everwood.
2. Concerts that I’ve done recently – another home concert at the “Martini Manor” in Memphis (was a great show) and the East Atlanta Festival/Strut.
3. I am in love with Rachel McAdams. I’ve seen several of her movies recently – The Notebook, Wedding Crashers and Red Eye. She is GORGEOUS. But she also has that mysterious something extra. I think she could and will be the next “IT” girl.
4. Last movie I saw – Flight Plan on Friday night. (Love Jodie Foster)
5. Last pleasure trip – Savannah in August. We did a few tours (the haunted walking tour and a tour on Segway’s). It was a really fun, relaxing, special trip.
6. Places I’ll be going soon – New York City and Reston (for work) and Knoxville (to sing).
7. What I’ve most listened to lately – Mr. A – Z by Jason Mraz. Damn, not only can the boy sing, he’s got a very pleasing voice!! I LOVE this CD. Favorite songs: Live is Wonderful (how I wish I wrote that song!), Mr. Curiosity, Plane (his voice at the end of the song is amazing), O Lover, and Song For A Friend (which I think is one of the greatest platonic love songs ever).
8. CD I’m most looking forward to – Madonna’s “Confessions on a Dance Floor”
9. Movie I’m most looking forward to seeing – Brokeback Mountain!
10. Blogs I’ve been reading lately – www.planetdan.net and www.showyoumine.blogspot.com
11. I haven’t practiced my guitar near enough lately. I also have several song ideas in my head and partially put down on paper, but I’ve neglected that, too.
12. Time I get to work every morning – 7:30 to 7:45.
13. Last concert I went to – Cheryl Wheeler at the 5 Spot in Little 5 Points. I can not say enough good things about her. She is a master songwriter, a terrific guitar player, has a beautiful voice, can sing a song that will make you cry, followed up by a story or song that will make you cry from laughter. Very inspiring!
14. Last DVD that I watched – The Incredibles.
15. Book that I’m currently reading – “How To Promote Your Music Successfully On The Internet” by David Nevue. Yes, I think it’s a terrific book and I hope to see some very positive results. On the down side, I’ve added like 30 things to my TO DO list.
16. I’m on a strict exercise/diet regimen. Where I started – 193.5 lbs, where I am now – 183.5 lbs, where I’m headed – 175 lbs. (I’m 6′1″.)
17. Favorite card games – Rook (all time favorite), Phase 10, Hearts, Skipbo.
18. Favorite shows that are no longer on the air, or that air in syndication – Buffy The Vampire Slayer (all time favorite show!), Seinfeld (favorite character – Elaine), Friends, Sex and the City (SATC character I most identify with – Miranda), and The Nanny.
19. A few people I admire and would like to meet – Madonna, Sade, Jason Mraz, Fran Drescher, Reese Witherspoon, JK Rowling, Bill Clinton, Jimmy Carter.
20. I bowl on a league. This is probably my tenth year bowling. Last year, my average dropped down to a 153 (from a 172). My goal this year is to get my average BACK into the 170’s.
