Did anyone see the Bangles on VH1's Behind the Music?



I will so be buying this new album.
Looks like Pinochet will lose immunity, but will a trial cause him to be punished?

"I have learned my lesson well. The truth is out there, I can tell. Don't look back and don't give in to their lies and goodbyes. Northern Star."



Right. So, I am going to become a more organized individual. Spontaneity is imperative to maintaining a fun, free life. But when it comes to weekday, work-related actions, organization is key. So starting tonight I will experiment, trying to become a professional, task-oriented, efficient, organized person.



Each night before bed I will iron the clothes I choose for the next day. I will also spend a bit of time reading news wires so I'm more informed when I walk through the doors at 8:30 a.m. Also, no more waking at around 7:40, rolling out of bed and showering before leaving at around 8:15. I will wake at 7:10 tomorrow, watch the news and relax with a nice vitamin and a glass of water until 7:35-ish, shower, dress and be on my way out the door by 8:10.



This will make me a more capable employee, a more responsible human and, overall, a happier person.



Yes. We will see.
When I met Ben Jenkins he shared a few things with me I hadn't know. This is one of his favorite past times.
9 a.m. news meeting:



Conrad, the business manager, came up to me before it started and spoke to me about a story I’m trying to complete, an interview with one of the state’s three Hispanic law firm partners who is a friend of Conrad. He said, “I spoke to Daniel and he said he’s sorry he hasn’t gotten back to you yet, but he really wants to do it. I had thought it was you dropping the ball, but he said he’s to blame.”



Nice when co-workers have faith in you!



Also, we were discussing the Republican convention and how a lot of Cubans are republicans and I said, “ Well, Republicans are pretty dreamy compared to Castro.” I got some looks, I must say.

Back at the office, sitting at my exposed computer, listening to co-workers share their airline/baggage stories.



It’s just way too early.

Happy August.



Mom's birthday is in one week. Eeek.



Also, there is a huge, monster entry for you about my trip. There are links to some of the photos in the entry, but the rest are in this directory. Some photos are not for little people.
