Because there’s a new Alanis Morissette CD coming soon! I’m soo excited. Just the other day while uploading all of my music I was wondering when she was going to get around to making another CD. Yay!
Check out the video for first single “Underneath.” They took the friggin’ video down, oh welly. Who cares about videos anyway, I can’t wait for the CD!!!
I am so glad I asked for an iPod Classic for Christmas. It is the best thing ever. My entire CD library is now in one place and it’s portable too! The past few days I’ve brought the iPod with me to work and I’ve been listening to songs that I haven’t heard in years.
I forgot how much I love the music and artists that I have in my collection. Have you heard of Artificial Joy Club? Did you know that BBMak was freaking awesome?? I think I have literally every CD Tori Amos has ever made. I’m actually quite proud of that that fact.
In other news…
Yesterday I was dealt a harsh blow. Nobody died or anything horrible like that. No, I approached my boss about my NASCAR project and asked if I could work from the road basically. I was denied. I could go into a million reasons why me working from the road isn’t impossible and isn’t a bad idea at all, or how it wouldn’t change anything productivity wise, but it’s pointless. Although it still boggles my mind, considering the fact that we live in a world where I could be on the beach in freaking St. Tropez nowhere near anything and I could still send email and make phone calls as if I were in a regular office.
But whatever, there’s no use crying over spilled milk. I would rather take my lemons and make some kickass lemonade. Which is what I fully intend to do.
I always have a plan. Well, I should say, I always have a plan when it comes to something that means a lot to me. The original idea has changed but the heart of it is still there. I think this is the best and only way to make the most of my racing blog. I really need to be at the races, more than just two or three a year. I would layout my tentitive plans here but I’ll wait till I know for sure.

It’s official ladies and gentlemen, I have joined the rest of you in the 21st century by purchasing a brand spanking new cell phone slash PDA device. I bought the Palm Centro in red and I looove it. It does everything except make waffles. I can check email, go on the web, take photos & video and text quickly!
I’m actually excited about receiving phone calls now! Woo-hoo!!
My mom and I drove down to my sister’s house in La La Land today. I went to get some Starbucks with my sister when I had a celebrity sighting. I saw Jonny Lang! If you don’t know who he is I’ll just pretend I didn’t hear that. He is an incredibly talented singer and I am a fan. I didn’t say anything to him although I wanted to and I regret it now. I know it’s not a big deal but I just wanted him to know that I appreciate his music and talent.
Oh welly, what can ya do?
This has to be one of the most romantic songs ever. I love this song soo much and to make it even better (who knew that was possible?) they made a kick ass, super sweet video to go with it. The song is “First Day of My Life” by Bright Eyes. I just bought the single on iTunes yesterday so I can listen to it at work. I have the full CD at home somewhere. That’s actually my project for the beginning of next year, to upload all of my CDs onto my computer at home and then if I get the iPod I want for Christmas my entire collection of music will be portable, which will be a great thing to have for the NASCAR project.
Anyway, here’s the video for “First Day of My Life” — so good!
