Sounds like I'm dropping the ball here!  Well, today I am making the time to get stuff done. 

I am at Starbucks this morning — I have been in between apartments lately and where I am staying has NO coffee (maybe some decaf, but that doesn't count, right?)  Venti Morning Blend, no room for cream (fill it to the top!) and I'm set to go for a while.

Coffee Tip: Do not leave a wooden swizzle stick in your coffee because it will make the coffee taste like a wooden swizzle stick.

Quick mention:  I was thinking yesterday afternoon and this morning about the fingernails on my left hand and how kind of annoying it is to have to keep trimming them.  I play a cello and a guitar, and the fingernails on my left hand need to be super short because otherwise they make it harder to press down the strings to make notes.  I was trying to open a can of Mountain Dew and had to get help... "Do you need them that short?" she asked. Yes, unfortunately, I do.  The right hand doesn't matter so much, but for someone who has a strong draw towards symmetry, that hand must also be trimmed.

By the way, I saw that Starbucks has a new keychain-sized card, just like those keychain-sized credit cards, and it's so cute!

Last night I watched the most recent episode of True Blood.  I wasn't so sure about that show at first, but now I just can't get enough.  Thanks to my friends who converted me.  Speaking of television, I just realized how many good summer shows are on — They are only usually 12 episodes or so, but that's just long enough to make it through summer re-runs.  Then there are other 12-episode shows that take their place throughout the rest of the year, so it never stops.  Mad Men, True Blood, Weeds, Dexter.  I think only "regular" TV show I still like to watch is The Office (and that's a good 20-some episodes).  I wonder what other shows are on that I haven't discovered?

School is getting ready to start up soon - and by soon I mean not for another five weeks.  So never mind - it's not soon at all!  Even still, it's getting closer.  I move in to my new apartment on campus sometime towards the beginning of September, and I am stoked to be living so close to classes and such... no more 30-40 minute commutes at 7:30am.  Although, I do have a 7:30am class this quarter (I know *gag*) but now I can roll out of bed and get to class.  "No one's brass lips are on before noon," I have heard it said.  That being said, I am very excited to learn how to play brass instruments - and also enthused that by taking the class the doors are opened to taking private lessons in the brass instrument(s) I most like.  I am such a huge nerd, but you know what?  I could learn forever.

I discovered today that the jeans I am wearing has(have?) a huge fifth pocket. HUGE!  Like, fit-my-whole-iPod-in-it huge.  My whole iPod.  Classic. 160GB.  The big momma.  Yea I was excited to discover that.


Video here if it does not show up above...

Well I am out of coffee so I suppose it's time to go.  I could get a free refil (love my Starbucks card), but honestly, who really needs 40 ounces of 'bucks brew.  I would have heart palpitations for the next six hours...
