Moonlit Jazz

Cuz I just dig that Mychael Urban…

It’s not! 😉

I forgot to mention this yesterday– I didn’t go to work! A sick day. 😛 Just didn’t feel well enough to drive all the way to work. Blah!

Juli, doesn’t the RIAA suck? Yes, let’s go after students. They don’t have money! Rah rah! 😛 Stupid crap. I guess they just want to scare them and their parents. I was reading something like that yesterday. What timing.

Meesh, your sister has good taste. Consequently, so do you. 😀 Here’s a piece of personal trivia: Harry and I got married on the exact same day. What are the chances of that? And I swear, I did not plan it. Really! 😀

I’ve added Amy to the “blogs of note” list. Right now she’s got a SMASHING Norah Jones layout. It’s beautiful! And oddly enough (though maybe not really), she’s a Giants fan. 😉

You go, Barry Zito! 😀 And Mark Ellis, WICKED play to first. Wow! 😉

1. Who is your favorite singer/musician? Why?
Harry Connick Jr. He’s the man! I love his music, his creativity, his voice, EVERYTHING. He’s swingin’ and he’s romantic and he can be funky too. He’s utterly versatile…

2. What one singer/musician can you not stand? Why?
Actually, I don’t mind most music. If I don’t like something, I just don’t listen to it! 😉

3. If your favorite singer wasn’t in the music business, do you think you would still like him/her as a person?
From what I’ve seen, I think I would still like Harry Connick Jr if he wasn’t in the music business. He’s funny and articulate and just a good guy.

4. Have you been to any concerts? If yes, who put on the best show?
I have been to MANY concerts. The best concert so far has been Harry Connick Jr. (Do you see a pattern here?) It was at the Orpheum in San Francisco. The acoustics are excellent there and Harry was just GREAT! It was a lovely lovely experience…

5. What are your thoughts on downloading free music online vs. purchasing albums? Do you feel the RIAA is right in its pursuit to stop people from dowloading free music?
I think the RIAA would do best to spend their money on other things. I believe music lovers out there buy enough music to sustain the artists and labels. The big money should be in the live performances, the concerts, the appearances. I purchase CDs and sometimes to me it’s more a crime to sell a piece of crappy music than to download free music. And I think it’s UTTERLY RIDICULOUS that a twelve year old girl was successfully sued. What the hell is the world coming to? Find and bring to justice the REAL criminals.

Now that’s what I’m talkin’ about! 😉

We ended up heading to Sacramento for the day. We walked Arden Fair Mall and bought some stuff. I got a very cool business card case at the Coach store. It’s green on the outside and mustard on the inside. It’s like it called to me! 😀 I also did some clothes shopping (jeans and a some shirts). The mall was nice. But no bookstore!

We took a walk around Market Square as well, which is on the same property as the mall. Barnes and Noble, the Virgin Megastore, then dinner at Max’s Opera Cafe. Twas very groovy. 😉

Blah to the 49ers’ score! It’s just not right. Alas…

We’re channel surfing football games right now. Just football games. Baaaah! 😛 The ‘Niners don’t come on until 1pm, but I’ll be in the computer room watching the A’s game. Oh well!

Ohhhh! I forget to mention that yesterday a foul ball came screaming at us. For a long moment, the ball and I just stared at each other. I thought it was going to hit the folks in front of us, but the hubby ended up taking it on the thigh. It bounced to the row in front of us and the people in front of us got the ball. So that’s the closest a ball has ever come to me. And the hubby has a sore spot on his thigh to remember the moment.

Hockey games ROCK live! Juli, you’ve got to go to a game if you can. There is nothing like the steely swoosh of the skates on the ice, the hard thuds against the plexi, and the horns going off when the puck sneaks in to score. Hey, maybe I should try and get to a game this year. 😉

The Steelers and Bengals still haven’t scored! 😛 And the Bucs are leading the Falcons, 10-3. The Jags lead the Colts, 3-0…
