Someone was interested in getting an update from me (as I seem to be updating y'all on my happenings less and less), so at the close of 2006, I will give you my thoughts. (Beware as they might come off crazy)

The new job is going well. They seem to like me and I am not screwing up too bad. The thing is, working even...

I had to change my profile pic.

Playing on the radio was exciting (of course) and it reminded me what an amateur I am when it comes to these things. We weren't able to get in the Greek tune, so my singing radio performance debut will have to wait...

For all of you sad, beautiful people who missed it, apparently Kutay archives his shows for a few months, so you can find...

I will be playing with my father's group, Staro Vino (current working name), and we will be...

Last night was the culmination of about 5 or so weeks of a lot of driving, practicing and rehearsing. My new band had its first official gig to a packed cafe. It was definitely a huge success and a lot of fun.

If anyone wants to see a picture of me playing clarinet in a suit, let me know.

I am feeling very alive right now.

Music, food, the sky, sleep, everything has taken on a greater meaning.

I mean, yeah, there are bad moments, some less than calm ones, but things are very good.

There are moments where I feel like, it's great to be alive.

I don't know what it is. I am playing a lot more music, earning a lot more...

hmm. you bring up many good points... it is harder making a mix cd for someone you don't know and whose musical tastes you'll have to guess at. i say let's use music the other person doesn't have [because i already know what i like and have plenty of it] and as to theme/ mood/ emotional journey, let's leave it up to the individual. can it be that easy? yes it can!

I think I love surgery.

I know this is a silly thing to say, because when I'm older (hopefully not sooner), surgery will be really serious stuff like quadruple-bypasses and such, but me age 24 thinks that surgery is so cool.

There's just something awesome about laying on your stomach, knowing that a guy is cutting a hole in your back and removing a lump...

hi

for me the most fun thing about surgury (does getting wisdom teeth out count?) was getting them to put the anesthetic in real slow. the guy even paused a few seconds for me - felt great like an e coming on, but stronger. wicked.

Then I had 2 weeks on a liquid diet and full on mouth pain... frown

Tomorrow I go under the knife yet again for an even minor-er surgery.

I also now have a job, so I guess I can't milk this recovery process.

The parents are home, and it felt good to deliver that news as soon as they got here.

Hiking this weekend with the winner of my online MASH exploits. She is really sweet, cooks, is a great...
