“Light It Up” by soulDecision

I spent much of Friday and half of Saturday working on a revamp of my Greg site. And now it’s done! I LOVE doing the photo gallery with Coppermine. It ROCKS! LOL!

We went shopping late Saturday. Like 7pm late. It’s a good time to go to the mall. Late. Not a lot of people. I bought some a sweater at one place and then a bunch of clothes at another. Loved it! Now I just need to get some shoes. Something for work. And maybe some pants.

soulDecision ROCKS!!!

I am in SUCH a soulDecision mood. I did the goofy fangirl thing and emailed Trevor the other day. I’ve been checking out the chats, but I always sound like a dork there, so I just wanted to say something semi-coherent to him and writing an email requires more thought than chat stuff. (The chats just fly by! All the people just talking at once. It’s nuts!)

Anyhoo, I got a reply yesterday from Trevor! (He’s seriously faster than I am sometimes in replying to emails. Ye gods!) Totally cool. He remembers me from the chat. He said that my screen name, walelia, reminds him of Hawaii. And I’m a total dork and replied back. Wonder if I’ll get another reply.

I feel better when I listen to their music. Slightly obsessed, am I? It’s because I don’t have any baseball to balance me. I need my baseball!!!

::sigh::

DVDs can bring surprises…

Back to the shopping. After the mall, we went to Best Buy and we walked out with one thing: The Ray Bradbury Theatre DVD set. Omigosh, the Erik Thomson episode, “By the Numbers,” is part of the set! I had to get it. And after watching the enjoyable Hidalgo (ahhh, Viggo), I had to watch “By the Numbers.” Groovay…

Baseball stuff…

So, we’ve got a new catcher. Interesting. What else will this off season hold?

(Does anyone else see a pattern here?)

The Turkey!!!… holiday coca cola… the table set… the after dinner game…

Thanksgiving was nicely spent. Dinner was DELICIOUS, as usual. I wish I could have eaten more! It was so good. And Mad Gab was fun. I’m not usually a games person, but this one was fun. 😀

Hey, the only doggy-less picture is the one with me!

I wore a new shirt. Now I want to go shopping for more. LOL! But I am not crazy enough to go shopping today. Ye gods! No, it’s a lazy day today. Maybe. I should write! My poor Davenport story. Alas…

Lucy, Gizmo, a squirrel in the backyard, Nicky…

I hope everyone had a lovely Thanksgiving! Enjoy the rest of the weekend, if you’re off today. 😉

My new soulDecision CD autographed by Trevor, Ken, Tino, and Terepai…

I am in such a soulDecision mood. It’s like that time about six years ago when I had to listen to Carlos Ponce everyday. So weird! Maybe one of these days I’ll do a rundown of the songs. LOL! Hey, that would be something to do…

To my fellow Americans, HAPPY THANKSGIVING! I hope you’re all having a great day on this day of giving thanks. Count your blessings. If you can actually read this, then you’re in a good place, eh?

From our day trip to San Francisco last Sunday… The Auto Show!!!

“Kiss the Walls” by soulDecision

I just visited the soulDecision website and wandered into the chat. Trevor and Terepai were online, along with two little cutie pie girls (little girls, someone’s nieces? or kids?). The guys were on camera and I said a hullo and Trevor said, “Walelia, can you hear me?” And yes I could! LOL! I might have to visit again tomorrow night. Totally COOL! And hey, all of you should visit them too! 😀

And I’m in a BIG soulDecision mood because I GOT MY CD TODAY!!! It comes out next week, but I had ordered mine at their website and I wanted an autographed one and so it came. It was so weird, I was thinking of “Kiss the Walls” this morning and I wanted to listen to it. Now I can listen anytime I want. Ahhh.

Website stuff!

I can’t believe I haven’t mentioned this before, but I have a photo gallery powered by Coppermine Photo Gallery. It’s so groovy! I added my cousin’s wedding photos last weekend, so if you would like a look, start here. 😀

I have a NEW DOMAIN! William Gregory Lee Online can now be found at its new url: http://williamgregorylee.com. I got permission, so there it is. 😀 I’m a lucky chick, I know.

Last night we had dinner at Bridges in Danville. EXCELLENT food. I had the scallops and prawns and it was delicious! And ever since our discourteous moment at that Haps restaurant, I am ever impressed by good service and the service at Bridges was great. The servers were nice and all the food was beautifully prepared. A very lovely experience altogether…

Just saw a new SportCenter commerical starring Chewbacca, C3PO, and R2D2! It was hilarious!…

And today we woke up to an alarm so that we could head out to San Francisco for the San Francisco International Auto Show. It’s so cool checking out new cars. The only thing you can’t do is drive them. LOL! I took some pictures and totally fell in love with the Mini Coopers. 😛 Seriously! But I probably won’t get one of those for a long time. Ah well.

Right now I’m watching Smallville. And the reason I’ve started watching isn’t even on screen right now. LOL! (Go Jensen Ackles!)

A’s Big Three ponder their future – I wish the Big Three could be together for all their careers. It won’t happen, of course, but can we not think about it for awhile?… I like the way the article starts out with what each player is doing in the off season. Mulder and his freakin’ golf. 😉 Oh, and Zito man doing his thing. 😛

The mornings have been very misty. It’s lovely but dangerous. Beautiful…

{edited to add} Ohhh, I’m falling in love with soulDecision again. I watched their video for “Kiss the Walls” at their website, then I watched the behind-the-scenes thing too. I want their CD. NOW!!! I pre-ordered it and it will hopefully get to me autographed. I’m going to listen to it over and over and over. I wonder if the Ryan Gosling tie-in is true. I’ll know when I get my hot little hands on the CD. 😉

Time to work on the crappy novel. LOL!

I get so nostalgic this time of year. LOL!

I wanted you to call – a line from soulDecision’s song “No One Does It Better than You” and if you click on it, my report from four years ago. 😉 It’s been freakin’ four years?! I’m totally getting old. LOL!

The short of it: I met Trevor Guthrie four years ago, 14 September 2000. I actually went up to him and introducted myself and we chatted for a bit. Want to read about that too? More than a momentary thrill (I have this thing for naming my encounters after their songs)

Trevor signed my little black book…

A month after that encounter (almost to the day), I got the call. Yes, Trevor Guthrie called me. Of course, if you don’t know who that is, it’s not a big deal. LOL! But it was super sweet for me.

Four years ago, yesterday and today were very groovy days for me. I met the man who has since become my most favorite fellow and I got to chat on the phone with one of my favorite band guys. 😀

Ahhh, memories.
