it's sunny out and i suppose that's what has put me in a good mood. well, that and the fact that matt nathanson is going to be on national television (jimmy kimmel live) in less than nine hours. i feel like his wife or his sister, i am so proud and nervous for him... i have faith that he will knock everyone's socks off though, cause he's matt.

i applied for a writing position (unpaid) at www.popmatters.com, and i think i could do a really good job at it... despite their less than stellar reviews of matt, i like the idea behind it. i had to submit writing samples so i reactivated the account at live-music so feel free to pop over and check it out. this week i'll be writing a piece entitled "in defense of matt nathanson, or when i know i'm right" and sending it to their crappy reviewers. so stay tuned for that.

i'm going to this journalism "career conversations" lunch on wednesday... why? because i'm schizophrenic. not really, but i guess i just don't know what i want. yeah, i would love being a professor... but, i would love to write freelance, too. there is a book that just came out called "sonata for jukebox" that i am DYING to read but its only in hardcover and i can't afford it right now. nor do i have time... my thesis rough draft is officially due april 3 and i am, oh, at least 30 pages behind. and i have to write two other papers and take a test before then as well.

i'm going on a retreat this weekend in vermont, i hope its nice weather bc i enjoy the outdoors and i would like some quiet time to myself.

i decided that the first song on guitar i am going to learn is no longer "illusions" but "we'll recover" by matt nathanson because it seems easier, i actually am doing pretty well based on today. i practiced for a long time today... i really think i could learn this song by summer if i keep at it.

in other news howie day is officially coming here to open for the roots for our spring concert. sweeeeet.

the sun makes me want to take a nap right now... but maybe i'll read some of the book i have to write a paper on. it's called "after virtue" by alasdair macintyre. it's actually quite interesting but a little hard to get through.

i have a lot of reading for class tomorrow but i don't want to do it. i have a meeting at 8 so i figure between 9 and before matt comes on (ABC at 1205EST) i can work on that. i should work on my thesis, i have an idea to write about, but i will write that tomorrow.

i started looking at apartments in allston (boston) and it seems like they have some nice ones for not too awful prices (cheaper than out here actually). there are some that accept pets, it would be cool if i could get a cat or maybe depending on where my parents move i can take princess, if she is still around, i mean, she's 19 and that is damn old and i doubt she will be happy living in a new place. haha, i always focus on what's important.

alright i have to go get my laundry but don't forget to watch matt tonight kiddies! pleeeeease?? :)
