Why did it just start pouring? I was going to go out and walk, but maybe I'll wait a bit longer. lol.

Neat article - they asked Adam Lambert about his favorite artist and song for the year. Which reminds me that I still need to pick up that album! It says it's her fourth though, so apparently I need to pick up the 3rd as well. Oops!

Lady Gaga is delightful and weird. Finally picked up The Fame and The Fame Monster, and love them both. I can't tell you how much I'm loving Telephone and Teeth right now. LOL.

Work has it's irritating or chaotic moments, but overall things are going well. Glad it's almost the end of the week though. The mattress place on my way home has a floor-model clearance going on right now, so I should stop procrastinating and finally stop and see about getting a new mattress. Except we have rain forecast forever, so I have to time it for when we have time to unload and not leave it out in the truck.

Rocky has been trying to steal Nate's bed for weeks, and now Laylah has decided that she wants to share it with Nate. Except Nate can only tolerate sharing for so long, then he leaves it to her. So funny to see a little cat in the middle of a huge dog bed! LOL. My dog is silly!

I'm so glad that it's Friday tomorrow. Well, a virtual Friday! Our computers freaked out today and stopped printing, but thankfully our computer guru got things up and running again in a matter of 20 minutes. Whew!

My sister and I will be going to see Pearl Jam next month!! We're both thrilled! And as a bonus, while they may not be in Oregon, they're just over the Washington border so there isn't a six hour drive involved. YAY! lol. It should be absolutely awesome!

Watched Guy Fieri's Chefography today - he's such a character. Love him, but never catch his actual cooking show. Love the Diners Drive-ins and Dives, though!

Well, I'm clocked out for the day. TGIF. But all the managers are leaving early or are already out of state, so I need to stay and set the alarm when everyone's out. So, I'm playing on the computer. Yay!

Dashboard Confessional is posting a bit of a blog about their tour this year. Pretty cool! Neat to see a slice of the tour from their perspective. I must order the new album soon. Don't think next week's concert is going to happen, but hopefully next time they're in the area we'll get to go to it.

Continuing on the earlier trend of not being overly productive, I have videos to share!

Also, some of you will be happy to know that I broke down and ordered the first season of Supernatural. And NCIS. Both were used and at a great price, at least! :)

Morten Harket from a-ha!! It's been years since I've seen them on tv or videos or anything. The long hair is not ideal on him, imho! Or maybe that's just because it's so different from what I'm used to seeing him in. *g*

Mostly Norwegian. Still fun to watch!

Can't Take My Eyes Off of You - Don't know if it's actually in the movie that starred Mel Gibson & Julia Roberts, but it's a cute video nonetheless. Morten has such a beautiful voice!

Graham Norton interview - hilarious! "...but it's an english flag" and the jumpers just made me laugh! too cute!

Interview w/Morten! Haven't had time to watch it.

I have only watched Chris Cornell's Black Hole Sun and Corinne Bailey Rae's Put Your Records On, but these are nice videos from Live Earth. He's got quite a few artists from Live Earth up, so that's pretty cool.

Today was pretty good. Slept in, which was much needed. Had a nice day with the family and Heather & Michael. Took new pictures of the garden, the trailer to prove it's occupied (govt is so annoying sometimes), and a couple of the cattle.

Hallelujah, it is Friday. Life is good.

My coworker barely passed the third section of the PCA course (physician's chart auditor) - by 4%. Which does not bode well for me!! Ack. Oh well, there's no rush on it so I'll just take my time and hope to do as well as possible.

Finally figured out how to get some more songs on last.fm without being able to scrobble them myself. If they have the little blue or gold arrow in front of them, you can add the entire track to your playlist. Yay!! Working out great so far. Still can't get some of the songs (only 30 seconds, etc), but it's better than nothing. I got a whole morning of Dashboard to play on my work computer this morning, but it wouldn't register any new songs for the afternoon. Though, when I got home, it did seem that it had registered some. Maybe it was just my work computer being weird. God only knows. lol.

I'm off for the weekend. Poor Sven shall be all alone. hehe. If all goes well at the Black Sheep Gathering, I shall have sheep pictures later in the month. Be interesting to see some of the more 'unusual' breeds in person.

Wow, tannerCKG made a really awesome still-picture video clip of Chris Cornell's Roads We Choose. I hadn't heard the song before, but it's really cool. I'll have to find out what it's a B-side for or see if my sister can find it on iTunes. ;D

There's the link for the video clip, or I'll attempt embedding it under the cut.

Finally sitting down and actually listening to Corinne Bailey Rae's album. OMG--gorgeous!! Her voice is just beautiful, and the music is lovely. A bit mellow and jazzy, but complements her very well. Mmm.

Today has been a pretty good day. Went walking with Nate this morning even though it was freezing! Sheesh, isn't today the official first day of spring? Oh well, we currently have sunshine and a bit of warmth so that's good. :D Then caught up on the CSI eps for the week, and headed out for errands. One of my packages arrived this morning - Propaganda has the yummiest soaps! Mt Rainier is absolutely delicious. I've enjoyed my villainess soaps, but I think I may just have to switch if they continue to be as strong smelling and foamy as this one is right now. Weighed in and actually lost .5 pound, whew! Then ran over to the mall to see if Bath & Body Works had any new products in their black cherry vanilla scent - of course not. But I did get the mint shampoo to go with my mint conditioner, and got their gradual tan stuff since it was on sale. Hope it works, because it smells great! Got the tangerine and verbena options, and then the Pineapple Mango room scent (it was an impulse buy because I asked her about the candles which were sold out, but this was only $2 more and is awesome!). Then I came straight home so I wouldn't find anything else more I had to have. LOL.

As expected, I didn't work on the closet or garage, but I did rearrange and dust both book/model horse cases. I'm not sure that I gained any actual space, but changing things around was fun anyway. I'm tempted to start on the closet later, but that may be a weekend thing.

Note to self: liked songs by these artists. Need to look into buying albums, etc.
