Quarter System

Apparently, I tend to update this blog on a quarterly basis.  For those of you still keeping tabs on me (via rss feeds or bookmarks), in a nutshell…here’s what I’ve been up to the last quarter:

Mid June – I took my bi-annual trip to NYC, for the purpose of seeing six shows in four days.  Ah…theatre bliss…  =)

Late June to Mid July – I headed to Southeast Asia.  I spent most of my time in Thailand, but did manage a couple days in Malaysia and a couple days in Singapore…oh…and about an hour and a half in Indonesia.  ;)

Late July – Spent a few days in Albuquerque for my sorority’s annual convention.  I did also manage to head to Old Town and the Turquoise Trail, which was all pretty cool.

Mid August – I spent a long weekend in Northern California to visit with a friend.  Of course, I managed to take in a show…and eat…a lot.

So…here I am, back at my desk…ready to stay put.  At least…for a few more days.  ;)

Done Playing Hooky

So...it's been quite a while since I ventured on to this blog. I've been distracted by the likes of facebook and twitter - where's it's much easier to send a one-line message than write out a substantial post.

While I'm still going to be facebooking/tweeting/twittering (whatever monikers you prefer)...I will also chronicle more events going on in my life. I have a good feeling about some potential collaborations coming down the pike...and I have some trips set up for the remainder of 2009.

Let's hope this will be as exciting for you as it is for me. ;)

Just Call Me Jack...

You know the phrase...jack of all trades, master of none.

Well...I hope the latter is not the case, but lately...I find myself picking up new hobbies.

This past Fall, I decided to take a jewelry class at the local community college. I've managed to make 2 pair of earrings, 1 copper bracelet (which I can't really wear, unless I wanted a green wrist), a silver ring and a pendant. I'm now in my second semester of the course...stuck on a filed ring that doesn't seem to want to take shape. I have class later tonight...so let's hope the continued filing doesn't drive me mad for another session. ;)

In addition to the jewelry...it seems I've picked up crocheting. Last month, I went to a friend's baby shower...and at one point, crochet hooks and balls of yarn were passed about. I learned how to crochet a single stitch...and there's been no going back ever since.

I'll try to post some pictures of my "crafty" escapades later this week. For now...I need to get back to writing some lyrics...
