Music Anyone?

March 1, 2007

I got my Nickel Creek ticket in the mail today (which is not the point of this entry, although I am very excited about that) and along with it there was an advertisement for emusic.com saying that if I only sign up for a subscription I will get a 14-day free trial and 50 free downloads! Well, turns out that there’s only 25 free downloads, but I did it anyway. Reason being, I have realized that I am so out of it regarding new music lately, and I don’t want to be. So far I’ve only used up one of my free songs. Please give me suggestions! I have no idea what to pick! Leave me a comment with a…

The Consequences of Being a Nursing Student

February 27, 2007

I just wanted to keep you all up-to-date on my ongoing toenail saga that began way back in November.

These thoughts are not necessarily related specifically to the awards except for the fact that they are thoughts that I had while watching said awards. Please indulge me. 1. Although I was vehemently opposed to Dreamgirls or any of its participating members winning anything simply because I thought that the movie was painfully overrated (and by that I mean that the movie was PAINFUL and OVERRATED), I must say that Jennifer Hudson was pretty adorable last night, and now I can’t help but like her. 2. I noticed something quite disconcerting. Exhibit A: Greg Kinnear, actor in Little Miss Sunshine:…

Here We Go

February 23, 2007

So, I’ve been blogging on Xanga for about three and a half years now, and I admit that I like doing it. A couple of months ago I started considering leaving Xanga to start a “real” blog. Then a week or two ago I was bored in class so I bought a domain name. It was so cheap! Only $1.24! Then I realized that I have to find someone to actually host the website for me. So I looked into it and discovered that it would cost me $6.95 a month if I signed up for two years. OK, I can handle that. Done! Then later I checked my bank statement and found that they had charged me the entire…
