Consistency

Is something I lack... I'm consistent in that I like to sleep... I like to stay up too late... and I often make a huge effort to avoid something I don't want to do.

I started this blog to help me track how much time passes, and to help me remember what each year has achieved, or not achieved -- I'm a better writer than what goes out there... but often the emotional *crap* (for lack of better word) engulfs me, and I can't see the funny side of anything -- and there are a lot of funny people and situations out there!

I spent a couple hours yesterday finding more Pepperdine alums on facebook -- it is fun!

I've moved my craft room around a little... getting easier access to the music and trying to clear some space for my new keyboard (yay!).

I'm going to a weekend crop soon, and have so many projects to choose from:

• finish my 3-volumes of college life
• begin my "Quilters" album in preparation for the reunion that needs to start getting organized
• Get up-do-date with the Christmas Album
• Finish my friend's 40th surprise party album (he'll be 42 in February)
• Begin/Finish my mom's (surprise) album
• Re-do the Edinburgh Festival album from 1990 (part of college but separate, like Quilters)
• Get my Bravvo! tour out of three 3-ring binders and condensed into one album

If I finish college, that will clear out a box of stuff... and a table will be free for the keyboard
I'm thinking that makes the most sense right now.

It is going to be a busy week at work... need to get going!

Watching Movies...

Himself and I watched the original Sci-Fi channel's mini-series "Tin Man" last night (I love TiVo!) and it was quite good... Both himself and I love Alan Cumming (though he reminds me of a Scottish Pee Wee Herman), and I like Neal McDonough.

Tonight we watched "The Flying Scotsman" about Graeme Osbree, who achieved a variety of bicycle world records in the 90's. It also stars Billy Boyd (Lord of the Rings) -- if you like Scottish accents and a good story - be sure and see it.

Today I talked to a number of family and friends I've not talked to in awhile, and started the initial stages of planning a "Quilters" (& Friends) Reunion in 2010 - 20 years after we performed the show at Pepperdine. For many reasons it was one of the best shows the Theatre Department ever put on -- and if it is done wrong, it could be slow and boring and suck, but the 7 of us who did it bonded in ways we never imagined, and the entire experience (which I almost missed out on) has become one of the most 'impactful' (I don't think that is a real word, but it's late and I'm being lazy) on me and my life.

One more day to do whatever I want, then back to work!

Off to Malibu...

Off to Pepperdine for the Annual Bible Lectureships!

I've not been to my alma mater in a long time -- at least 9 years... the year himself & I got married, I think.

I've not been to lectures since '92 or '93 -- so am looking forward to some rock-the-house awesome a cappella singing in Firestone Fieldhouse _ "Oh Lord Our Lord" here I come!!

For a webcam view of the campus and surrounding area...

So... no online time for me this week -- which will be weird. I hope Rascal survives with himself in charge...

Later Peeps!
