almost every day, I have at least one song 'stuck' in my head. I think I'm going to start blogging it here, so that I have a record. Definitely don't want to put it on FB and bog everyone down with it!
today: Rearview Mirror - Pearl Jam

Sunday, March 01, 2009
I sit here in my living room having the kind of Sunday I really love: watching good tv and sports, watching the snow fall outside, and kicking back with a Dogfishead 90 minute ale.
On one hand, it makes me miss living in the northeast (getting 'homebound' by snow is rare here in the Southeast), but it allows me to remember what I work for every day. Sad to say, but it's not world peace or anything so noble (though I wish I felt like I could make a difference there) but just the ability to earn an honest living doing something I like, and have Sundays off like this to just vegitate and relax with the S.O. The snow puts everything in a different perspective, because even if you wanted to go out and hike somewhere, as an urbanite, it kind of makes no sense to brave the bad roads to get to your hike; so the things you can do for the day are limited, clearing your options and decision making down to just a few things. It gives me a strange peace.

Disappointing Night at The Tabernacle
OK - I'm a bad blogger, but I had a rough night last night so I feel the need to pollute cyberspace with my thoughts.
My spouse and I went out to dinner and then to a concert at the local small venue in Atlanta. It's usually a great place to see a show and I was really excited to see Ben Folds. This venue happens to be all general admission, which is usually not an issue, but last night was absolutely awful. There were lots of people talking as if they were at a cocktail party or something, and to add to that, the sound system didn't seem to be working properly, so not much sound past right in front of the stage, and no sound piped into the downstairs area. I couldn't even hear the show! Lots in the crowd were trying to get the talkers to quiet down, but to no avail. It was so frustrating...is this what our culture has come to? People are so self-involved that they pay 65$ + to go to concerts and then talk through the whole thing? If they want to miss the music, that's fine, but don't prevent those of us who want to hear it from doing so. I am so confused about this. We ended up leaving after about 8 or 10 songs, and I'm still thoroughly disappointed by the whole experience. I think that was not only my last general admission show, but maybe my last at the Tabernacle, and I'm not thrilled by that.
