A slew of things...

A slew of things...

Ok, maybe it's a small slew. Mini slew. Slew-let. I have a bunch of things knocking around in my head, all ready to be poured out in blog format. I have no idea how long this will be, but, hey, it should be fun. I'll number items (more for me, really)...

1) My hubby, Mike, is blogging now. He and his staff (he's Editor-in-Chief of Sound & Vision Magazine) can be found waxing poetic about all things music, home theater, home stereo and entertainment-esque here: Sound & Vision blog. If you read something you like and comment, please tell them I sent ya.

2) On said blog, you can read Mike's review of last night's Rush show we attended. He even included some photos he took on his phone's camera. I may have gotten some better ones though, I think.

They're not great. Our seats were a section further back than we thought they were, so, well, we're not talking award-winning photography here. But they're kinda sorta cool:

I told a friend of mine this morning that I’m always a sucker for bands that get all crazy with their time signatures like they do. I dig that kind of stuff... a LOT! I have come to appreciate them even more since being married to Mike. Like Neal Peart is a drumming GOD. He is seriously amazingly awesome.

3) It's official. I cannot do it all. I thought I could. I tried, for a long time. But I couldn't continue selling at three online locations without stressing myself out. So, you will, going forward, only be able to find my stuff at Altered Art Chicks and ScrapbookGraphics. Unfortunately, I won't be selling with the awesome ladies at ScrapDish any longer, which breaks my heart. But a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do to keep herself from stressing out too much, you know?

4) There's a new kit brewing. It's collaborative. It's coming soon. Within the next two weeks. That's all the info I'm giving out for now, but it's already shaping up to be way cool. Want a peek? Here's a very small snippet of my portion:

5) I'm getting a cable modem installed on Friday, finally. My DSL is still giving me hassles and I've had enough. So my email address will be changing soon. :D

What did you think of the concert? Inquiring minds who saw the DC show want to know. :) It's always a rocking time at Nissan and we also ended up with seats back further than usual. LOL - every time we go to see them I remember my first one, also at Nissan. It was a horrid day - way up in the 90s with equally high humidity and there was Alex all decked out in leather pants. OMG! I thought he was going to have a heat stroke on stage. Thankfully he changed during the intermission.

New email? Okay, I'll be on the lookout. :-) Sorry about not selling at ScrapDish - that's where, when I get a coupon, I go to get your stuff! But, understand the survival on your part - you do what you can! Hm, does the new kit mean some new freebies? Or at least some free peaks at the new kit? :-)

Cable is way cooler than DSL - although I notice by the end of the month, my downloads are slower, but they speed up again as of the first. Neat pics from the concert! Can't wait to see the new kit!
