(Re #23: Why would they get the impression that you're a German citizen?
Because you spent some time there?)

Found a cool Futurama fan site ( http://www.gotfuturama.com ) and
downloaded a nice wallpaper for my notebook.

re 25: I spent a year there between undergrad and grad, doing research, so
I listed that on my resume. I suppose at first glance an interviewer might
mistake Uni-Tuebingen for my undergrad alma mater. Or maybe it's just that
they assume a natural-born US citizen wouldn't be able to speak any other
language fluently :)
Spent a significant portion of the weekend reading articles from groups that
I'm interested in postdoc-ing in, and was left with an "I can do this!"
feeling. Very reassuring.

IVHB I got to see Fleetwood Mac in concert tonight at Madison Square
Garden. This was sort of a last minute deal, the seats belonged to
other people who couldn't go, and last night I was given the
opportunity to get the tickets. I said what the heck, you don't see
these guys on tour that often, and besides I've always had a thing for
Stevie Nicks, and I'm happy to say the years are treating her well,
she's still very hot. Anyway it turned out to be a great show. They
did a lot of old songs, along with songs from their new album.
Some of the songs really brought back the past. When Stevie, dressed
in all black of course, sang "Rhiannon", it gave me chills. Stevie
belted out the lyrics, "All your life you've never seen a woman, taken
by the wind...would you stay if she promised you heaven?" And the
audience singing with her as one, sings "Rhiaaaanon!" "would you s tay
if she promised you heaven?" "Rhiaaaanon!" Talk about a song that
brings back memories.
If you see Fleetwood Mac in concert, it becomes pretty clear before
long that there is tremendous chemistry/affection between Stevie Nicks
and Lindsay Buckingham. They used to be a couple and you get the
pretty clear idea that on some level they still love each other. When
Stevie did the beautiful song, "Landslide", she sang the first verses,
ending with "Well I've been afraid of changing, because I've built my
life around you, But time makes you bolder, even children get older,
and I'm getting older too" And then Buckingham does a beautiful
acoustic guitar solo in the middle of the song, and while he's playing,
Stevie goes over and hugs him from behind and they look at each other.
And you could see on the jumbotron that Stevie had tears in her eyes.
Very moving. Obviously the song speaks of their relationship, and even
if they haven't been a couple in a number of years, you can't be on
stage in a setting like that and not have it affect you when you sing
it. They also did a beautiful duet on "Say You Will", the title song
of their new album.
They also did old classics like Dreams, Never Going Back Again, Gold
Dust Woman, Second Hand News, Beautiful Child, and of course Go Your
Own Way and a loud, rockin' "Don't Stop" (Don't Stop Thinking about
Tomorrow") in the encore.
One of the show's highlights was during the encore set when Mick
Fleetwood did a long bongo solo in "World Turning" that brought down
the house.
All in all, a great show from one of the great bands. They played two
and a half hours without an opening act, setting a tempo and a pace
that would blow away bands half their age. Fleetwood Mac, well worth
seeing while they are still on tour!

IHB a friend and I sat in his living room and had a very deep, cleansing
conversation for several hours tonight.
IAHB it's cold, and October is my favourite month. :)

I'm happy because I got my leather jacket back from the local shoe repair
place last night, and he did an *extremely* good job of replacing the zipper.
Though, since the bike is patiently awaiting my return in my parents' garage
(poor neglected bike), I'm still singing along to The Clash, "I've got my
motorcycle jacket, but I'm walking all the time."

Looks like I've gotten my cheapo inkjet printer sufficiently unclogged to
print the high-quality photo paper stuff again - mostly I just hadn't tweaked
the Linux drivers on my new computer. Now I can print chainmail business
cards with the current phone number!
(just in time to be late for Ren Fest...)

IHB I swam my 8 laps for swimming class within the specified time to
earn a B, I was off by 1 minute and 30 seconds to acheive that A.
IAHB I am going to be off from both jobs this weekend. I am going to
light the fire, turn on GPR, get out the Micro book and study for the
test that is coming up in 2.5 weeks.

IHB Richard's review brought back memories of when I saw them here in DC not
that long ago - he's right - they are truly amazing. My favorite song was
"Gold Dust Woman" - Stevie Nicks rocked!!!
IHB I'm back at work and enjoying it. And I'm even happier because I'm going
to Phoenix in two weeks to see the new man. Rock on.

I saw Fleetwood Mac when I was 11, back in 1983. Before they all went to
rehab.
October is my fave month too.

If that class is any good, it will give you a whole new meaning to
Madonna's "borderline"

"Borderline" by Madonna was playing on the radio the night I had my first
kiss. What do you think it means, Lynne?
