Lyrics posted
I posted the lyrics to Greg Klyma’s wedding song for us over at the wedding blog. I never did find them…I had to email Greg and ask him to send them to me. He happily obliged.
Speaking of Greg, don’t forget…show at Broadway Joe’s this Friday w/Tom Bianchi and Ookla! 🙂 Details a few posts back.
Wedding music
I’m talking processional and recessional music over at the wedding blog. Go forth and offer your opinion. You know you have one. 😉
Happy Monday
I had a busy weekend and thus a lot to report on…but I’m feeling kinda blah right now. 😛
Quick version: Friday night, went to see Ookla’s bass player play with a cover band in North Tonawanda. Missed the first Buffalo Tweetup, but hope to make it to the next one!
Saturday, went to Club W to see our friend’s girlfriend compete in some sort of talent competition. From what we saw, she should have cleaned it up. She’s a singer-songwriter, and she rocks. Socialized at Pano’s afterwards.
Sunday, attended the “ladies who blog” brunch arranged by Jen. It was a lovely time. Hung out with Jen for a bit afterward, which was also nice…we don’t do that nearly enough! 🙂
Oh, and on Saturday, the two new pens I ordered arrived! I have pictures, and I’ll write a whole post about them soon. 😉

I recently made a mix for a new blogfriend and I wanted to share!

- Black Horse and the Cherry Tree (KT Tunstall)
- Cold, Cold Heart (Midge Ure)
- Striptease (Hawksley Workman)

There’s no thematic connection. They’re all fairly upbeat songs that make me happy. 🙂 I could easily make another entire mix with stuff that’s on my iPod but not on my computer (a situation I hope to remedy soon!).
If you think this mix is awesome and would like one for your very own, contact me. I’ll pass on Jessica’s promise. I’ll happily send you one, if you promise to reciprocate!
Happy St. Paddy’s Day!
Are you wearing green? I am!
Working today. I’ve been having trouble with my blog since wordpress got upgraded–specifically, accessing my blog using Internet Explorer on the computers at work. I could log in, but I couldn’t *do* anything. I solved the problem today by downloading the portable version of Firefox for my USB key. Looks good so far! 🙂
I had a nice mellow weekend at home. I got all domestic, making chocolate chip cookies on Saturday and meatballs on Sunday. I also did laundry, read a bit, watched some TV, and didn’t spend a whole lot of time online. I did play on facebook here and there (I have two ongoing Scrabble games–feel free to grab me if you want to play!) as well as some other stuff.
I had a fun day teaching math at the middle school on Friday. The 7th graders celebrated Pi Day by decorating digits of Pi to hang on the wall, playing games, and eating pie that they brought in! (Yes, I ate a piece, but only one!) I can’t believe they paid me for that. 😉
And that’s the news on this end. Hope you’re all having a happy St. Pat’s! Enjoy some of my favorite irish-esque music, eh? (I might add some videos when I get home and can access YouTube.)
Music poll
I posted a wedding music poll over at my wedding blog. I know some of you have already responded to this question, but if you haven’t, come on over and tell me what you think! 🙂
Listening
BufBloPoFo Topic for Day 8: What are you listening to these days? New stuff? Old stuff? This isn’t a hipster competition; I just want to know what’s in everyone’s ears out there. Playlist me. Or, if you don’t feel like making suggestions, open up your ipod on shuffle and just jot down the first ten songs that pop out.
Well, since I haven’t done my reading, watching, listening thing in quite a while, it’s been some time since I’ve blogged about what I’m listening to.
Bon Jovi–Lost Highway. Samantha recently gifted me with a copy of this CD. Awesome. I’ve only listened to it once, but I like what I heard.
A copy of the “Cleaning my Room Mix” sent to me by Miss Shortskirt (Jessica). Again, only listened to once, but lots of fun. 🙂
The soundtracks from Once and Juno.
In general, I frequently list to the “erin’s favorites” list on my ipod. Here’s a sample:
- Super Trouper-ABBA
- I Will-The Beatles
- The Longest Time-Billy Joel
- What About Everything-Carbon Leaf
- On the Verge-Collin Raye
- Here on Earth (I’ll Have My Cake)-Crash Test Dummies
- Cowboy Take Me Away-Dixie Chicks
- Solar Circle Girl-Einstein’s Sister
- The Girl That’s Never Been-Escape Key
- I’m a Rover-Great Big Sea
- Striptease-Hawksley Workman
- Molly-Jackdaw
- Several Thousand-Jim Boggia
- The Future Soon-Jonathan Coulton
- Black Horse and the Cherry Tree-KT Tunstall
- Cowboy Secret Space Detective-Ookla the Mok
- Steady, As She Goes-The Raconteurs
- Crackstatic (Acoustic)-Ron Hawkins and the Rusty Nails
That’s it for me. Happy weekend!
