"I went to my room, played that disc that you'd given me"

What a great day for music. A few months ago I wrote about my excitement for upcoming releases from Better Than Ezra and Coldplay. Today it all came to fruition with Coldplay releasing X&Y. On top of that BTE played on Conan O'Brien tonight. What luck.

Coldplay's new album is very good. It has had a ton of hype leading up to it, but in my opinion it lives up to the hype. Every song I've listened to intently seems to be single-worthy. They could all be radio friendly hits.

Tomorrow is Fort Wayne day for the career. I'm enjoying my job so far. Microsoft Publisher and I are becoming good friends.

I went to see Cinderella Man tonight with Jason and Eileen. I tried to get a group together, but they were the only takers. Every one else just missed out I guess, because it was a superb movie. Very interesting and entertaining.

Lisa has pointed out to me repeatedly recently that I have a new annoying nervous tick. Rubbing my fingernail across my teeth making a clicking sound. I'm not sure where it comes from, but I find myself doing it all the time. Maybe if I really concentrate.

When I was younger, I always used to smell my hands. One day my dad said if I went one month without smelling my hands he would buy me 3 cds. Before I had money to buy cds of my own, that was quite a deal. Heck it still would be. Well I caught myself a few times, but managed to pull it off. I bought Sophie B. Hawkins, Lisa Loeb and Hootie and the Blowfish. What great choices! Well Sophie B. is still good to go to sleep to the song As I Lay me Down. I guess that would have to be my guilty pleasure song if I was forced to admit to one. As I Lay me Down sung by Sophie B. Hawkins. Yeah, you know the one... "It felt like springtime on that February morning..." I pretty much know all the words and could sing it at a moment's notice.

Interesting Facts about Andrew
The only pets in my house while I was growing up were two turtles-they were my sisters.

My first bed out of the crib was a bunkbed. Although I had them for a few years I never got to sleep on the top bunk. My parents deemed it to dangerous for a child my age. I now sleep about 7 feet off the ground with no railing. Still waiting for that day when I have a bad dream that makes me jump/fall out of bed...Incidentally my sheets on my bunkbeds were Pound Puppy Sheets.
