Jericho

This is the first time I've run into the potential disappointment with network television. I've never really watched much television, but now that iTunes offers TV shows, there have been a few shows I've been getting from there. The convenience makes all the difference.

One of the shows Olympia and I have enjoyed this year is Jericho. We just watched the season one finale Monday night. Today, I learned that CBS has cancelled the show, so we won't get to find out what happens. I guess a lot more bombs go off and the storyline so far ceases to be relevant.

Ah, well. So sad.

Children of Rock

I'm writing this from Union Jack's, a restaurant/bar in Bethesda, Maryland. I'm (mostly) working on my laptop and listening to several bands that are playing a Sunday afternoon concert. All the bands are made of kids from about ten years old to their late teens and they take their lessons at the same music school I attend for my guitar lessons.

The crowd here is really large and these kids are doing a great job. Listening to a bunch of ten-year-olds rock their way through "I'm a Believer" in front of about two hundred people is quite an experience.

I need to find some other people my age and experience level who want to practice as a band. Maybe when Union Jack's hosts another concert, I can get on stage instead of just watching.

The Short List

I was getting gas at an Exxon station yesterday and it had a very short list of instructions.
