LET ME TRY THIS AGAIN

"AOL ate my blog entry!"

I had this multiple-paragraph rhapsody composed about the joys of the start of summer and was adding in the links. Gone! Now I'm too tired to sing the full song.

Joyful signs of summer:

1.  The grill, even if red-hot coals do fall onto my 'deck' from time to time. Hope no one was below. May the chicken fat sizzle!

2.  Thanks to persistant accolades by a chorus of Chat friends, I have a new Official Summertime 2004 drink.  And a First Runner Up.

3.  New music, thanks to Rhapsody and friends at Looking Good. Nick Cave is a keeper with a list of other artists to check out.

4.  Delly, my new laptop, and it's wireless router, software and the USB flashstick so that my summer obsession (see below) can be close by and I can free myself from sitting at a desk chair. I've needed the past month to get it set up and accessorized for work, home, and integration with my desktop computer.

5.  Hamster Time has been refurbished for a new group of Houseguests, friends are starting to gather again, Green Tuna has completed her NC vacation, and we are all preparing and anticipating a new summer Big Brother madness.

Links and photos will be edited in. I need a nice little summer nap.

Rhapsody is awesome. I just discovered it over the weekend! A great way to "try before you buy" on artists where you only know one song.

Nick Cave is GREAT! The Bad Seeds were featured in my favorite flick "Wings of Desire" (the german version) & he performed just last year @ SUNY/Purchase (I was taking a CE programming class & checked it out). In the believe it or don't department, he recorded a song with techno bimbo kylie minogue (" where the wild roses grow") which was actually moving...
