Rebecca and I won two games. Washboard will never mean the same to me.

Carlos in the foreground. The John Hanley Band rocking the Velvet Dog in the background. Luke is just out of the picture, sans flip-flops.

The folks at Jacobs Investments are upgrading the parking lot at the Powerhouse. Crews just finished a portion of the lot. Wonder if the rest of the lot will get the same treatment?

Apparently Chicago’s Rock Bottom sign works. The Cleveland location’s ‘m’ was on the fritz last night. Photo credit to Jason for the proof from Chicago.

I have to admit I thought it was Harlingen when I went to work this morning. It was in the 70's and steamy. We were just missing that trademark Gulf Coast breeze, the one Lake Erie could never provide. I know we were close to breaking a record today. I wonder if that happened.

I’m been bad recently. On a whim, I decide to agree to something, having not checked my schedule. (and to be honest, not necessarily thinking through the implications. I’m blaming lack of sleep.)

Tomorrow morning, I was supposed to have a celebratory breakfast with my boss. We were happy with some of the ratings we got during the May book so it was his way of giving back. About two or three weeks ago, I agreed to take part in a high school career day. I said yes, I did not check the fine print. I just said “sure”.

Now, I’m reading the fine print and I’m talking to 200+ students through the day. Remember, I work overnights. It should be over by 2:30 but that’s the time I normally wake up from my daytime nap. Don’t get me wrong, I’m happy to talk to students but I should have read the fine print. I also can’t wear my normal attire (blue jeans & a nice shirt) to the event. It’s business casual so I’m not wearing a suit. When you work behind-the-scenes in television, you dress up but not that dressed up.

I guess it’s time for a planner or maybe I should just start using my “Q” more efficiently.

I don’t have an iPod, right now I don’t want another piece of technology to tote around with me. I have a Motorola Q. I love it but there are somethings that I want to do with it but I’m not sure quite how. One of them is making playlists.

At any rate, ManagerMom wrote in her most recent post about her iPod having a good shuffle recently. About a week ago, I had to comment to one of my friends that my Q was on a good shuffle of the songs I have on it. Sure, I love Barenaked Ladies, Jack Johnson, Feist and some of the other slower music I have on my phone but they aren’t exactly motivational to running another two miles. Read: Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger by Kanye West. On that day, the Q connected with me and gave me some good music to workout with so I didn’t have to constantly skip to the next one.

Most of the time my Q is stubborn and doesn’t get it right, it goes all live versions of songs and let’s just say more adult contemporary than high NRG music. I’m trying to get playlists on my Q and it’s not very well documented on the Internet that I can find through google or Yahoo!. I’ll post those directions if I figure them out.
