1. I�m actually corresponding with someone very interesting via the internet-dating thing. He�s a Sociologist. Who lives in SANTA BARBARA! Why can�t the interesting guys live in Belmont Shore (actually, a lot of them do, they�re just interested in each other)? He seems to be a nice, normal, bright guy, and he makes me laugh. He travels a lot, too. His favorite place is Prague, but he spent Christmas in Paris with his family. In his profile, when describing his perfect mate, one of the things he says is: �She would never use the words �George Bush� and �great president� in the same sentence.� Hee. :)

2. I am really astonished that a lot of these guys ask for my phone number right away - like, in their first email to me. I understand that not everyone likes to write letters, but what kind of stupid woman would give out her phone number to a bunch of men she doesn�t even know? I would think these guys would just offer up their own phone number, if they really wanted to talk to me on the phone, ya know? Sheesh.

3. I�m also �talking� to a cool guy in Albuquerque. I know, I know; but there�s nothing wrong in striking up a friendship there. I wasn�t expecting to correspond with anyone far away, but he emailed me � I guess because I say stuff about Santa Fe in my profile. However, I realized yesterday that he doesn�t actually say on his profile that he�s SINGLE. There is something else about him too, although I can�t remember now what it is, that makes me wonder about his marital status.

4. The-band-with-the-incredibly-stupid-name is no longer playing this weekend. Their gig was cancelled today. I don�t know what the bullshit explanation was this time; I don�t know if it�s the club that�s jerking them around or if it�s Robert (who booked their gigs at this place), but I don�t expect they will ever agree to play there again, since this is the second time they�ve cancelled.

5. Since the last time this place cancelled on them the Hunky Drummer called me and we ended up screwing all night, I was half-eyeballing my phone all day, thinking he might call. I didn�t really expect him to, but�well, you know�it would have been funny.

6. Now I know I won�t be too tired to go kayaking on Saturday, since I now have no plans for tomorrow night.

7. I now have plenty of time to do laundry and clean the Rad Pad tomorrow night.

8. Aside from being just a tad bummed that I now have no plans for a Friday night, in truth, I was looking forward to seeing the HD, too. Aside from the obvious (although the crush is finally subsiding�WTF? Why is this taking so long?), I wanted to see him and break the ice before I have to see him at a rehearsal. I don�t want to be nervous singing in front of him for the first time.

9. John is coming down this weekend, mainly to go kayaking with me. He didn�t seem all that eager to make the trek down here until I told him about the kayaking. But then, Aunt Flo is scheduled for a visit this weekend, which means John won�t come anywhere near me in the sexual sense. I guess there�s no reason to come visit me if there�s no chance of getting laid. He didn't say that, of course, but that's how I felt.

10. And no, that didn't make me feel all that special.

11. Yes, I watched a little bit of Condi Rice�s testimony before the 9/11 Commission this morning�while I have a lot to say about it (of course), as I wrote in a note to floodtide this morning, I am more appalled at this point by the Commission that I am by her. I expected her to be full of shit. Naively, I also expected at least some of the members of this Commission to call her on it. Sadly, they didn�t.
