OOH OOH OOH!!!

perhaps because i'm in a festival frame of mine due to bonnaroo thought, perhaps because i've been obsessed with the idea of california for months now, perhaps because i've yet to see radiohead, perhaps because i'm digging numerous members of the lineup.

whatever the reason, coachella sounds grand. eliz made a reference on her lj, for which i say gracias, chica.

hmm. california. music. radiohead and howie on the same day. two days less than three hours from san diego.

and, in other news, i now have my fourth set of business cards in three years. it's fun, seeing how the collection has grown - it feels almost like full-circle now. first set was a gift from my parents during senior year of college featuring my contact info as defender editor. latest set (hopefully last for awhile) features my info as staff writer for a daily newspaper.

i can follow my career path through my cards ... it tickles me.

yes, i'm an uber dork.
