last night my boss gave me a ticket for the annual hospitality management fundraiser, fire & ice. it was held at the convention center downtown san jose. apparently this is a big deal event, where all the hospitality management majors run a "coctail" hour. actually it was from 6 to 11, but they had appetizers and tons of desserts. normally, i hate going to these things alone. what am i saying i hate going to this kind of thing alone. i'm not much of a social butterfly, and normally i just … [Read more...]

summer concert season
May 12, 2004 by
the summer concert season at the mountain winery looks incredible. jason mraz, counting crows, the corrs, and big bad voodoo daddy, just to name a few. in my pre-rocker life, i would have just bought 4 seats, invited my sister and sporty spice, and hoped to find a friend to join me. in my rocker life, he went with me, even if he hated the artist (i made him see counting crows, it wasn't pretty). in my post-rocker life, i'm just not sure what to do. it's not like i can just call my sister up … [Read more...]

gno goes persian
May 11, 2004 by
tuesday is girls night out. missey andrea, missey lisa and i try hard to have dinner together. the past two weeks, we have been flakey. this week, i needed gno. last week, it was ok... the rocker brought home quesidillas from baja fresh and we watched hockey. it was the last time we ate a meal together. so, i decided i'd better make sure there were no slackers. i sent the email out really early, and told everyone where and when. i then called andrea to make sure she would be … [Read more...]
what do you mean my status is DEAD
May 11, 2004 by
so, i pay WAY too much for my daisydo account. WAY too much. i have space i never use, bandwidth that i never use, and an host that is WAY too big. i have had this host for years... let me think now, 1997? i think that is about right... i had best.com for a long time... then verio bought best, then i upgraded my account with them in 2001, then verio was bought by ntt. through out all these purchases, i have remained a loyal customer. why? because i am too lazy to change. i just don't … [Read more...]
when in doubt, buy art.
May 11, 2004 by
meet my newest piece of art. it's name is "blue dog - night flight" by anne leuck feldhaus. i've been watching this artist on ebay since i started buying art. i had put a $50 limit on my art purchases, and the new piece came in at $46. not too bad. i'm really happy to have it. i think it will be a good addition to the collection. i was feeling like i had too many cats. i'm also watching this other painting by peter gullerud. he has worked in disney's animation department. i'm thinking … [Read more...]
first sunday alone
May 9, 2004 by
today is my first sunday without the rocker. i would imagine that if non of this had happened, i would have been by myself today anyway (sharks game, doncha know), but it felt a bit weird this morning. for the first time in months, i slept. i think i passed out about 11:30, and then woke at 9:30. ms. do let me sleep until 9:30. i can't believe it. that dog always wakes me up on weekend days... today, she was snoring at 9:30. i woke her up for a change. then i did the unthinkable. i ate … [Read more...]
