Clean air

Plants are amazing!  Ever since my last office plant died I have been sneezing at least once a day (but usually more like 3x/day).  So I got a new plant last week and now I only sneeze about once a week!  I am in awe about this.  I love my little green guy.

Blogging Tips

I learned some blogging tips this week.  I wonder how well I am doing at these.  In any case, I thought who better to share these with than my fellow Xanga-ers?  Here are a few tips that the best (most read) bloggers give for having a "good" blog...

1. Appeal to everyone
2. Treat your visitors like they're your best friend
3. Write about things you're passionate about
4. Tell about your traumatic experiences (misery loves company...)
5. Have useful, unique, and scannable content

Well, I hope those are helpful to someone out there.  I guess one of the things I am passionate about is becoming better at stuff, so maybe I got a point for this blog.  Thank you for reading...

Do you speak my language?

Aaron Espe gave a magical concert tonight at Swallow Hill.  I'm looking forward to playing in their cozy cafe in June. http://www.swallowhillmusic.org/cafe06/cafemain.htm

I bought my Alison Krauss and Robert Plant (at Red Rocks) concert ticket today.  I'm ashamed to say that I did not know that Robert Plant is the lead singer from Led Zeppelin.  He and Alison make quite a musical pair!  T Bone Burnett did a fantastic job of producing their latest CD, Raising Sand.  I'm wearing it out like crazy.

I've also been listening to Pimsleur Indonesian on my CD players, trying to learn the language for my big trip in May.  So far I can pretty much say the following (but not necessarily spell correctly):

Ma off.  Selamat pagi.  Apacabur?  Bike, teremacasi.  Bat bat orang America?  Yeah, boo.  Minerte bahasa Indonesia?  Sedikid sedikid saja.

(Translation: Excuse me.  Good morning.  How are you?  Fine, thanks.  Man, are you from America?  Yeah, woman.  Do you understand Indonesian?  Just a little.)

It's coming along...

My Whole Life
By Aaron Espe

Music on my iPod these days that I love:

-Aaron Espe
-The Little Willies (Norah Jones' band)
-Robert Plant and Alison Krauss

The exciting thing is that two of these groups/artists are playing shows in Denver this year.  Aaron Espe is playing at Swallow Hill Cafe on Thursday and Alison Krauss is at Red Rocks this summer.

I especially love this song by Aaron and am looking forward to hearing it soon!

I fell on my face again

I swear it never ends

I guess I am your replica

Just someone who pretends

 

I fell on my face again

So I tried to make amends

But it only put me on the floor

Beggin’ a forgotten friend

 

Grace what a lovely thing

Grace what a lovely thing

Grace what a lovely thing

You got me on my feet again
