batskeetsAnybody want to go see Sleater Kinney at the McDonald tomorrow night?? If so, IM me! I'm not sure if any of my Oregon people are into it, but I thought I'd ask. :)
So hey, can anyone recommend a good book to read? I'm sure I've asked this before, but I'm asking again, because I don't feel like looking for that post.
That reminds me of something I've wanted on LJ for a while now--the ability to search through all of your journal entries for certain keywords. There has been more than one insance when I've thought "hey, I wrote a prior post about that! I should link to it!" or "I can't remember what anyone said when I posted that question!" But, even when you eliminate the lame one-liner posts from 1999 and 2/3rds of 2000, I have a good 4 years' worth of posts to sift through, and that's really not worth the time.
Anyhoo, it sounds like Phil and Keith are flaking on practice tonight, so I am, too. I really want to learn new material, but if nobody's there to teach it to me... :( I'll probably train by myself after work or something, if I get back early enough, but right now I need to take care of other things, including the giant mess that exploded in my kitchen.
