Velkommen!

This weekend Toshi and I are going on an overnight trip to Solvang,
the Danish capital of the U.S., because I am going stircrazy here
between work and school.  I’ve gotta get out of here for a
bit.  Solvang is about 2 1/2 hours away … not a lot to do there
besides shop and eat (lots of danish, of course!) and everything closes
very early, but it will be nice just to be somewhere else for awhile.
We will definitely have some danish at Birkholm’s Bakery and pea soup
at Pea Soup Andersen’s (I know Toshi will love that place!) 

On
Saturday we are going to work our way home slowly with a stop in Santa
Barbara to peruse State St. and the pier.  Will be back with
stories and pictures … in the meantime, happy Friday!

Found this on a site a few weeks ago but didn’t really have time to do it … so here goes …

The iTunes Oracle



Put your mp3 player on random, then ask the question before going on to the next song.



1.  What do you think of me, iTunes player?

     Where’ve You Been – Kathy Mattea

   
(This one cracked me up — my iPod has been sitting idle for about a
month … [cue     Twilight Zone music here])



2.  Will I have a happy life?

    When You Dream – Barenaked Ladies

    (hopefully that doesn’t mean only in my dreams …)



3.   What do my friends really think of me?

       Crazy – Patsy Cline

       (Okay, iPod, that’s not funny!)



4.   Do people secretly lust after me?

       Clubland – Elvis Costello

       (there’s a club?! )



5.   What should I do with my life?

       Kids Wanna Rock – Bryan Adams

       (start a rock band with kids?)



6.   Why must life be so full of pain?

        Here Without You – 3 Doors Down

        (That one makes total sense, actually.)



7.   How can I maximize my pleasure during sex?

        Say You Love Me – Fleetwood Mac

       (Hmmmm…)



8.   Will I ever have children?

       That Old Feeling – Rod Stewart

       (Actually, I am feeling old … that clock is ticking )



9.   Will I die happy?

       Only time – Enya

        (So time will tell?)



10.   Can you give me some advice?

       Pump It Up – Elvis Costello

        (Hmmm — pump what up?)



12.  What do you think happiness is?

       Carnival – Natalie Merchant

       (Well, I do love the fair )



13.   What’s my favorite fetish?

        Everything – Alanis Morissette

       (Yikes! )

This one was really fun!  Wish I could do it again but I think that would take some of the “magic” out of it, huh?
