I should go to bed but I just got my second wind, and there have been all sorts of little random things this week that made me stop and say to myself, “You should be blogging this!”…but something else got in the way. Let’s see how many I can remember…

• James Spader really DOES look like one of the Lennon Sisters when he’s in full drag. It’s why he wins the Emmy — he’s just unafraid to do anything, no matter how bizarre or believable, which he was…in spades.
• Our house is not big enough for 2 drumsets, 2 kids, 3 adults and 1 pug. We’re a bit cramped with the eldest moving home…hopefully his situation will improve soon.
• Too much work and absolutely no play makes Karoli a dull, tired girl. Every October it goes the same way, no matter how hard I try to prevent it.
• I love our Prius more now than I did when we got it. It’s just a fun, quirky, cool car.
• I really need a Nikon D300. Well, don’t I????
• There are some absolutely terrific bloggers out there. I’ve found some really fun and interesting blogs by clicking on the links underneath the Blogher ad over on the right. It’s humbling to read the funny, touching, gripping and beautiful blogs I’ve seen this week. Try it — click any of those links right under the ad over there, and enjoy.
• Speaking of Blogher, I’m stoked about the 2008 conference in San Francisco, and think their tour will be very, very cool.
• I wish I could write funny posts instead of bitchy, critical ones.
• I’ve come to really, really like the Foo Fighters. Sticks’ influence, I’m sure.
• The new Herbie Hancock and Joni Mitchell albums are awesome. Vinnie Colliauta is especially cool on Herbie’s album. Both mellow, jazzy, and full of nuance.
• Teachers really have a tough job. More on this later, but should a graphic novel that’s a bit on the adult side be grounds for ending a career that by all accounts, was successful up to that point? Teaching in Connecticut seems to be fraught with peril.

G’night.
