Everyday -- Rogue Wave

And now, back to your regularly scheduled programming....

First of all, can I just say -- HOLY SHIT!  YES WE FRIGGING CAN!!!!  A beautiful reminder that democracy does and can work.  The people spoke and their voice was loud and clear.  Amen to hope and Amen to change.  And Amen to having gravitas back in the Oval Office.

Second of all, HI!  How are you?  I do hope you've been great.  It's been a long time, ey?  All I can say is A LOT's happened since we last spoke -- some of it good, a lot of it very, very challenging.  Between all of these ups and downs (which I'll be expanding on in the coming days), it's been a bit difficult to find energy or inspiration to blog, but I figure the only way to change that is to start blogging, so here I am.  

I've updated the playlist too, and more additions'll be made to that in the next few days also.  You know that even the roughest of life's vicissitudes could not deter my continual search for great music.  Ooooh, and I went to see Amos Lee two days ago @ the 930 Club in DC.  Can I have one of his babies, please??  Pretty please??!  A brrrriillliant show -- wish you coulda been there.  For the fans, he KILLED Black River, Night Train, Won't Let Me Go and What's Been Going On.  I could have hooked you up with some nice audio but for the nazi stage manager keeping watch.  Next time...

Right, I'm rambling cos it's almost 5 in the morning and this homegirl needs sleep.  But I wanted you to know that I'm not dead and I'm not in Nigeria (what's the difference?) and I shall be bringing you more tales and not-even-remotely-profound insights from my misadventures in short order.  Stay tuned...
