  • Trying to keep it real

    Ergh. Up in arms a bit this morning over an eBay purchase and return process that’s been going on since August. Terrible customer service all the way around, with not only the seller, but eBay and PayPal too. That’s okay, though.  I’ve filed a chargeback with my bank, and submitted the tons of documentation that…

  • Here we go again…

      Another busy week.  But now… we start adding a bass line. Bass lessons started for me today, and the instructor I’ve found seems to be fantastic.

I’d like to thank my high school drama advisor for teaching me the importance of professional standards for backstage, while at the same time that knowledge tends to frustrate the hell out of me. I need to be aware that my attempts to help out…

  • The universe works in interesting ways…

    So, today, I put my put my bin of recyclables out on the curb for pickup, and realized that it is a perfect metaphor for today. I’ve gone through things that could be considered trash, in the form of plastics, glass, and experiences, and made sure to put them where they can be made into…
