I received my first birthday present last night... from eryx_uk (great timing, by the way!) It's something from my amazon wish list. Thank you so much! I've admired the book for quite a while!

HAPPY "NO NEW DRAMA" MONTH!!

It's Official! *No* New Bummers or sadness throughout February... and no saving 'em up for next month, either.

---

Bailed on work yesterday.. I was feeling pretty poorly, bu I think I'm ready to attack today before having my b-day off tomorrow. Brother came by and visited for a few moments, I got his disability info sent off.

---

I think I'm about due for a redesign of my journal... at least the background. Something to ponder while I chew on any new mage fooling in the future.

A Daily cup of tea - Cute orisinal game. an interesting twist on the old burgertime vibe.

I really like high too... delivering flowers to heaven, but I think my favorite recent one is wake up.

Some pretty nifty mashups in mp3 format - I'm partial to Rapture Riders (Mixes Jim's vocals from 'Riders On The Storm' with Blondies 'Rapture', beefed up with a few breaks and maintaining elements of the Doors solo's and Debbie's rap sections.)

Beatleg bootles is pretty nifty, too. (but sort of chubby at almost 22 meg) Contains 'How Does It Feel To Be Rich, Man?' / 'Sloop For No One' / 'Razor Smile' / 'Daytrip To Never Never Land' / 'Karma In The Life'.

Hm. Dating a singer and music fan has had the nice side effect of opening a few doors off on the right hand side of the brain left fairly dormant the last year or four.

Mel's guaranteed to raise a smile. Like Sgt. Pepper, only she doesn't wear those cool doorman/military jackets. She has trouble understanding why I like cartoons and kid shows, though.

---

I'm amazed how much stuff has high-teched since I was a kidlet. When I was a kid, Vinyl was what you listened to music on.. better than those Edison wax cylinders, to be sure, but I love that mp3s are so portable now.. and that sound/images can be mixed and edited so much more freely.

---

Mel was downright peppy yesterday. I think that she's flung off all but the last dregs of her sickies. That's a good thing... that tells me a birthday journey is certainly in the cards.

Moment of Lyric -

Well now, I get low and I get high,
And if I can't get either, I really try.
Got the wings of heaven on my shoes.
I'm a dancin' man and I just can't lose.
You know it's all right. it's ok.
I'll live to see another day.
We can try to understand
The new york times' effect on man.
