Just got back from Santa Barbara. The Moog Tribure concert was.. uhm.. interesting. I thought that since the guy from Moog Cookbook was there, he'd bust out with some awesomeness. But no. Just a jam. And he was held down by the other guys. But whatehvs. Got to hang out with good people.

If I were a girl, and my parents named me Polyethylene, I totally wouldn't hold it against them.

Not only is it the amalgamation of three awesome names (Polly, Ethel, and Lene - short for Kathleen, or Charlene, or Marlene, or any other Lene's), but it's a polymer! And coupled with dioxythiophene, it makes for an excellent HTEB (hole transport and electron blocking) layer for...

Yaay! You followed the election! I'm actually really stoked that it was such a close race in my riding - the conservatives won by a super slim margin in Strathcona and Edmonton City Centre. Alberta is traditionally a conservative province anyway, so it'll be interesting to see if our interests are better reflected with the new government... even if I voted against them.

I like to think that the dead hsband spoke to the new guy in his dream b/c he wanted his widow to be happy. Since I've actually met these people in real life, I can't handle the storey from a necro-kinky angle, only necro-cute.

Huzzah! It's a three day weekend.

Boo! I must spend 3/3rds of it working.

Driving up to the bay in a few, and then over on 4 into Ye Olde Ghettoe Stock-Towne.

Uhm. I should stop procrastinating and get the hell out of here.

Happy weekend to all.

It was only supposed to be a short study break. It was 10p, and I would be back by 10:45, 11 at the latest. I headed down to Grappolo's where some friends and talented musicians played jazz/funk a la Soulive and Herbie Hancock in the restaurant's downstairs bar that could easily be a broom closet. The guys, their group a loose rendition of a Soulive...

I was mucking around with my new Alesis Micron that I got this summer. I was supposed to be experimenting with making some mono synth sounds, but then I found the "Oktoberfest!" patch. I spent the next hour making up and practicing a little ditty for Oktoberfest. 6 days too late, I'm afraid. But still.

Enjoy my cheesy kitsch!!

So as I was practicing, I...

I haven't checked out any Ani albums since revelling/reckoning, which I loved (revelling more than recknoning 'cause it's more eclectic).

I new about the Watership Down cartoon b/c I caught a glimpse of it on the DVD extras of Donnie Darko.

What's a tangram game? I'll see if I can track down the Careers game online. Do you think you'll take over the care facility for your parents or pursue a career more related to your current academic endeavors (I've forgotten what you study).

That's cool that you impressed a fellow musician into coming over and introducing himself. I'm glad he wasn't a transient psychopathic deviant rapist.

ok I get it - I actually have this Tangram game called "tangoes" but I didn't make the connection until you explained. Tangoes has 2 sets of plastic pieces and a big set of image cards and you race to see who can duplicate the image first using all of the shapes. Great travel game - very portable.

Thanks for the Ani songs. I enjoyed the Oktoberfest one too. The new Ani album and Corblund (www.corblund.com - I'm NOT a country music person but the lyrics are great and very Alberta-centric - yay for local talent) are definately at the top of my wish list right now. I buy cds like twice a year...

Going up to Big Sur for a night at a post Jade Fest hippie shindig.

This'll be the first time since I've been back in San Luis that I've even made it out anywhere to hike. Sure I don't have a car to get around, and public transportation from San Luis to Los Osos (ohh, I miss Montana De Oro) is minimal. But even if...

Tomorrow (actually, in a few hours from now) I'll be heading back down to San Luis Obispo. Gonna try and whip out the rest of my scholastic career in two quarters. Go me. No really, go. Freaking go already.

I've got friends working on PhDs, starting new teaching jobs, in the south pacific with the Peace Corps, volunteering at hospitals in central america.. and here...

Hmmm. fate and I've found your journal entry. I was just discussing car accidents with a customer today. You don't forget the date do you? I don't think it's the accident, it's the fact you almost died and now view life differently. I feel I'm not on the wagon either or would feel more fulfilled, but there's a reason for everything. Including you, and I feeling like that. Just wanted to let you know your words made me feel and I'm glad they were there.
