Music: Sarah McLachlan - Fumbling Towards Ecstasy
Book: The Good Book - Peter J. Gomes
Busy weekend...I've become a demon on crutches. The wind this morning was so fierce that the mantra "something wicked this way comes" kept playing in the back of my mind. Last night before bed I re-read "Hearing Voices" by Brian Andreas...he's the Story People guy. His sense of humor always makes me smile.
Dropping Like Flies - B. Andreas
I like people until
they give me reason
not too, she said.
Some days they
just drop like flies,
though, she added.

Sunday
Music: Sarah McLachlan
Book: Looking for one...
Went to Divas 2004 charity event last night - odd evening. Football game today on cruthes - should be interesting. Wrote quite a bit last night on the guitar. I would prefer a nap.

Music: no clue who the artist is but the music is good
Book: Just finished Dark Horse by Tami Hoag
I'm currently stranded, alone, at my house with no people and even my car is gone - long story. I finished my book, I can't exercise & there isn't even a bagel in the house to get me to lunch. Is my grumpiness showing? Poeple and politics are pissing me off - only because I feel it's being shoved down my throat. Can I ask when the last time a stranger yelling at you on the street about Bush or Kerry changed your opinion of the next election? I can't...I read books and watch the news, I listen to NPR. I like to get things from the source and validate the information instead of relying on hearsay. My grandmother had a friend in Cleveland Ohio who used to host lavish dinner parties and the only rule she laid down was no politics and no religion. I just wish it were true today and that people could respect a person's right to their own opinion.

Book: Dark Horse - Tami Hoag
Does my journal read like a rejected script for ER? Sorry. I lost my other book so I'm half way into Tami Hoag's and it's great - I'm a first time reader for her and I can't believe I've missed out. But on the bright side, I love discovering new authors which enables me to back track and read all the earlier stuff. It's like getting a library in one hit. I'm off to the doctor's again this evening. This morning was okay, but once again, that was because of the vicodin - now I'm in hell. Honestly, I've had surgerys that were less painful. Could be the weather. Oh and I have a tentative Minneapolis show date for october 7th at Ginkgo on Snelling in St. Paul. Keep a watch on the concert page for details.

Book: left my book at home today
Feeling wretched...my ankle/foot is swollen to twice its size - not to mention having turned a lovely shade of violet and sage. It hurts just thinking about it. USA beat Russia last night in the World Cup and it was fabulous to watch. I confirmed some more shows for October in high hopes that the break heals quickly. September is still up in the air. I didn't realize so many of you checked into my online ramblings but your kind words of sympathy and hopes for a quick recovery are very much appreciated. Thank you! Now...I do believe it's pain pill time.

Sarah McLachlan
Music: Sarah McLachlan
Book: Eye of the Needle
Sarah M was a great concert on Saturday night. I arrived back home however and went outside with my dog, fell and broke my right ankle. Now I'm maxed out on vicadin and feeling wretched. The cast goes from toe to knee and I have to have more xrays next week. Touring until October is up in the air but I might beg my sister to drive me around the midwest. Just keeping ya'all posted.

Book: Devil in the White City - Erik Larson
I forgot to mention that I finished "The Automatic Millionaire" by David Bach and found it wonderful. I felt good reading it because my parents had already drilled into my brain about certain savings and retirement planning. It was a pat on the back so to speak. However, much of it was new information that I recently put into works. Stocks, bonds, money market, mortgage, charities - you name it, he talks about it (but without talking down to the reader)
I'm almost finished with Larson's book about the World's Fair in 1893 - scary! Great read. A friend and I are going to see Sarah McClahlan (sp?) at Xcel on Saturday night (I'm expecting better than Chicks with Attitude from last week) The state fair still beckon so it will be squeezed in at some point in time this weekend.
