i heard the hot rod lincoln song on the radio this morning on the way to work. you know:
My pappy said, ‘Son, you’re gonna drive me t’ drinkin’ …
If you don’t quit drivin’ that - Hot … Rod … Lincoln!’
i really miss hearing music from the 50s and 60s on the radio here. i mean, the last time i unexpectedly heard the everly brothers was in the middle of the simon and garfunkle concert. sp guy is going to lend flo and i his satellite radio for the drive to the desert. i hope she lets me indulge for a little in boy bands who wore matching clothes.
i also love car songs.
i got in to the office to find my kfog local scene cds were delivered yesterday. i bought 2 and 3. yay, music! i’m in that mode where i just want to buy lots of music… but my bank account isn’t in quite the same state. maybe after burning man, and jon’s wedding, and the tx state fair… that is, if i still haven’t found a house.
today is a FIVE HOUR conf call/webex thing. i don’t have a working headset for my phone here, and i also don’t really know how to mute my phone.
those aren’t really related issues. luckily someone suggested we start taking small breaks. whew!
i’m almost completely done with my burn prep. i just need to haul everything to sp guy’s house (where we’ll be packing the car) and sort through what i really want to take, what i want to leave, and what i want to give to ootc.
i’m really excited about the week off! i’m looking forward to walking to center camp in the morning and getting a latte. which, i have to admit, i was forsquare agains for a number of years. then, suddenly, when i ended up there one morning i found out what a nice experience it can be. it’s not too hot, it’s not too crowded, it’s not too high energy.
i just wish sp guy could make it out for at least part of the week. i think he’d really love it, he needs a vacation more than i do, and it would be fun to share this thing i love so much with him.
