Emmett's taking the SATs right now, and I'm tucked away in a corner of Cafe Trieste in Berkeley putting away a quiche.
We got to Berkeley High (the test site) early so I got to see the gaggles of teens arriving all gangly and zitty and brace-faced and cute. For as much as teens are characterized as angsty and emo, they were all smiley and social and chattering.
I figure I can't have been the only person who had fun in high school.
When I was in Pasadena for training a couple weeks ago, the bar was being administered (what's the right verb?) on the second day, and I got to see the crowds of potential future lawyers of California, and....Suits is set in New York. I'm assuming that explains everything, because it's clearly true. (Seriously, how long can you pretend to have gone to a school you didn't go to? I enjoy the show, but the founding premise gets weaker and weaker...)
Go Emmett!
I made my bed, which may not sound like much but meant putting away stuff, dislodging cats and all that.
Re: the where do people get new music discussion - I am mildly embarrassed to report that I download many of the free tracks Starbucks gives away through their app.
I am awake (and have been for over an hour) watching the Georgetown game. Fun! But there's no food in the house, so I'm starting to get hungry. And it's a gorgeous day out, so I should really be prepared to go outside and enjoy that, once the game is over.
Go Emmett!
Have a terrific trip, Jesse!!
I don't think you should be embarrassed at ALL, -t; that's a perfectly cromulent way to be exposed to new music!!
Happy travels, Jesse!
-t, I've found a bunch of things on Noisetrade, and even in the Amazon free songs. No shame in that.
I listen to the radio in the car, and I've found so many songs and sometimes artists through TV commercials, too.
Does anybody know if you can wash a Bedbuddy heating beanbag thingie? I seem to remember that they may actually be filled with beans, which does seem to rather recommend against putting it in the washer....
Huh, if you actually google "Bedbuddy washing" you get the Actual Information page... and the answer is nope.
It's not very hip, though, getting tunes from Starbucks, is it? Seems kind of fogey-iesh, or bourgeois.
