Hubs and I went to our first punk show together last night. I told him he should feel honored; his first show and getting to see one of the legends of punk music (Jello Biafra of the Dead Kennedys) all in one night.

Since I just moved here, I had no idea of the “scene,” but everyone seemed nice. Being an all-ages venue, there were middle-aged people and very young kids there. We didn’t get injured in any of the moshing that we were only a few layers removed from. Maybe a little squished, but no harm done. We jumped, screamed, sang along and had an awesome time…

And I saw Jello Biafra. Face to face. Outside the venue. He walked past me and looked into my eyes.

Yesterday was apparently “Blog Quake Day” — I’m kind of feeling weird about it. I don’t feel “right” talking about charity. But I feel like this “meme” is forcing people to talk about what they are (or aren’t) giving and doing. If someone doesn’t go along with the movement, are they seen as stingy? I am not sure about the purpose of it, really. Maybe someone can help me?

And finally a work of my own hands, watermarked in hopes of destroying its chance of fame throughout the internet world…

I heard about an earthquake relief donations packing operation that was happening on Saturday and decided we should go. As it happens, we didn’t sleep at all on Friday night. Instead, both hubby and I worked on websites and studied. Saturday morning comes and we still haven’t slept, but I want to go help with the donations packing — so we go! Keep Reading …

Due to my husband’s upcoming useage of this domain, I decided to clean up a bit. That included deleting my old blog and starting anew here. Hopefully this will be more permanent than the previous two places my blog was located!
