Well tweeting is one thing, but this is my first full-blown blog update via blackberry. I'm waiting for the bus in the rain...well more of a drizzle and the bus is late. Traffic is horrible due to the Pacer game - opening night - tonight. So I decided this is the ideal time to blog...while listening to Vampire Weekend in the drizzle.
The biggest news this side of the pending health reform legislation is that B-Nasty, Big N*ts, Brian Roberson himself is moving back to Central Indiana after many years of exploring the Alaskan wilderness. He'll once again be a mainlander.
Happy Halloween!

"Over fall break, you're coming down to see me"
I'm surprised I haven't been blogging more often...I've certainly been trolling facebook regularly now that I'm up to my eyeballs in online MBA work.
Friday was an exciting day, so I took a day off of work. The morning was spent doing my first MBA midterm. It was tough...ended up with an 88 and the class average was 81, so I was happy with that. The afternoon was then spent anxiously awaiting the arrival of Rosi Golan and company for the house show she was playing at our house that night.
It was a bit surreal to receive a phone call around 2:30 with a "this is Rosi" on the other end after planning and preparing for the show for so long. She, Jake (guitarist) and Ben (boyfriend) arrived around 5 and we hit McCallisters for some pre-show fuel. Very, very nice people. Easy to talk to, laid back, very gracious and kind. And not too harsh when I couldn't find my way back home after taking the back way through the neighborhood.
So they relaxed for awhile and before long Chase Coy showed up to settle in, do a soundcheck and hang out for a bit before people started arriving. Ultimately, the soundcheck was unnecessary as no mic was needed for the two rooms that would be filled with 25-30 people. But I enjoyed chatting with Chase for awhile, hearing some of his new songs. A genuinely good kid with genuinely enjoyable music.
More to come on the adventures in concert hosting...

"I'm caught up and bruised"
Tonight we went to Morty's to watch a couple of comedians, including one who was the overeater on Sex and the City and one billed as the funniest man in Milwaukee. Both were pretty funny. I like comedy. Some pretty good stuff.
Rogers surpised me with the new Pete Yorn and Scarlett Johansson duet album today. When you mix one of my top 10 favorite musicians with one of my favorite actresses, it's got to lead to some good things.
Off to bed soon.

"Seal it for thy courts above"
I'm starting to remember what it was like in college when I would take a 10- to 30-minute break to play Tetris every half hour or so. Now I can't afford such breaks, so I make them 5-10 minutes to look up a long-forgotten artist on MySpace or check Facebook. Thoughts I had during homework tonight:
* What happened to Josiah Leming ? (Turns out he co-wrote a song with Kevin Griffin last month.) Kevin Griffin gets around like a who-re on the weekend. But boy does he write good music.
*I should make a playlist of my 1,000 favorite songs. (I didn't undertake this yet.)
*I should make a best Christmas song playlist. (I started this one.)
*What is Sufjan Stevens working on right now?
*Should I or should I not ride the bus tomorrow?
*What's the minimum amount of work I can do tonight and still finish my assignments on Saturday?
*I should email my study partner and tell her I need to push back our time to chat on Saturday, because I haven't gotten enough homework done yet.
