an emac for my bday

well, i'm no longer "comin' up fast on 38"...i'm there. it feels a little weird to be that old, but...i know it's all in my head. i've long said that "i live to defy stereotype"...and i guess i can do that in terms of age, too. hell...i have been doing that, and doing it for years. i say this now, but...get back to me in a coupla years when i turn 40. *laughing*

my 3-day birthday weekend turned into a fabulous 2-day weekend—highlighted by a national championship (the excitement has been contagious), a lovely dinner out with s, and the osu women's defeat of a nationallly ranked team for the 3rd time this season—followed by 3 days at home, sick with the flu. even so, i can't complain. s completely surprised me with an emac. i mean, there was this big box covered with blankets in the dining room, at which i was admonished not to peek (i'm really not as nosy as she accuses me of being)...but a computer?? i had no idea. i thought it might be a printer to accompany the digital camera that she got me for x-mas...but a computer?? i was blown away! my sweetheart ROCKS. *grin* i'm actually not blogging from home, tho. while the computer itself is the coolest, our current dial-up connection isn't. one of these days, we may just have to take the roadrunner plunge....

for the
meshell heads out there, peep the "polylogue" section of freemyheart.com. matthew has created a new forum that's similar to the old artist one message board (but with some very cool features) that's a lot more navigable than the one at okayplayer. check it out.

oh, and by the way...did y'all read about meshell's
grammy nomination? i've never put much stock in such awards, and the fact that she's up against ashanti (among others) for best contemporary r&b album cheapens the whole thing in a really huge way (be NICE, lisa, be nice....). but i'm hoping the nomination will be worth it for the extra album sales alone.

and with that? i'm out.
