Now that I'm thoroughly irritated...

I finally got around to renovating my myspace page and changing some of my pics. Gotta tell you, nothing frustrates me more than working with computers. Now, before hittin' the sack, I'm gonna try to squeeze out a quick blog. If I did this right, attached in this blog is a map of the US, with a trail showing the tour of the western US I took from August to last week. Yep, my car and I ventured into every western state--with the exception of Nevada, which I've been to several times before so it doesn't matter anyway--in less than 3 months! YEAH! Saw some beautiful sites, learned some stuff. For instance, did you know that you can't pump your own gas in the state of Oregon? I actually had been told that a while ago in some random conversation, but I forgot it. So, I re-learned it from experience when I stopped there for gas. Weird how things come back around, eh? On my trek, I picked up the new live cd by Sophie B. Hawkins. I've been a long time fan of hers, ever since she came out in 1992. You might know her songs "Damn I Wish I Was Your Lover" and "As I Lay Me Down". Anyway, she started out as a kid with the drums (which is why most of her songs are heavy on the percussion), and just kept learning new instruments and writing songs. She's one of those that performs at least half, if not all, the instruments on her albums. Her songs range from "pop"-y/dancey to rock to folk, from sexually provocative to spiritually inspiratonal to eccentric. The cd's really good, though the setlist could have been better. Anyway, give it, or any of her others, a listen if you're up for something new.



Listening to: Bad Kitty Board Mix by Sophie B. Hawkins.
