Normally, my office is so hot I wish I could strip down to undies. I dressed with that in mind this morning, wearing some of my lightest pants and a lightweight 3/4 sleeve blouse. Well. It's so cold in here that I can barely move my fingers to type or write info down when we get calls. We turned on the heat two hours ago, but it's not warming up very fast. At all. I wish my CD player was working, because then I'd listen to my new Jim Boggia CDs instead of stoopid internet radio. Launchcast is really hit or miss. Most of the songs they play are only sort of tolerable (even after months of tweaking my preferences and such), but every now and then I actually hear something that I love and get turned onto a new artist. Big surprise - Kerry already has all the CDs that launchcast recommends for me;) If you're into folk music, Kerry's a great person to know, but there's one major drawback. The namedropper also knows this, and tends to gravitate to him...oh well. Aside from weasling her way into the best seat in the house without even standing in line in the cold like the rest of us, she didn't do anything much to bother me this weekend. And it's great fun to make fun of her behind her back...I know...in the words of Julie Murphy Wells, "I know I'm going to Hell." Hehe.

Anyway, I left out one little detail from the weekend that I just can't help but share. Please don't think me vain or catty for doing so, and I swear this is a true story:

On my way up to the Freys', I stopped at a gas station in Front Royal to pee and get some people fuel (candy). When the cashier dude was ringing me up, he looked at me really hard and said "You are not from here." I said no, I'm not, to which he replied, "I know, because there is no woman in Front Royal as beautiful as you are." Aww. Sucks to be a dude in Front Royal. I know it's a cheesy line and kind of a sketchy way to act on the cashier's part, but it made my day nonetheless. So, thanks, shady gas station guy.

And another big thanks to the Freys for facilitating my weekend of wonderful. I can't believe I have to wait four whole weeks for my next concert! That could change, though...the Gravity Lounge has a habit of making awesome bookings at the last minute. So maybe something else will pop up. :)

Peace.
