Here is a picture of Elvis playing (though it's hard to see him):
The best part of last weekend was getting to see Aaron.
Here's a picture of us (definitely not a good picture of me, but it's a good one of Aaron):

dylan concertCategory: music
I had a great time at the concert with Aaron. I liked Amos Lee, and Dylan was good (though his voice was in bad shape). The best act of the three was definitely Elvis Costello. He sounded incredible, and was great at interacting with the audience. I loved his versions of Red Shoes, Veronica, Oliver's Army, and I Can't Stand Up for Falling Down.

things I like about AlbanyCategory: albany
I realize I've been kind of a downer lately, so without further ado...
Top 10 things I like about living in Albany (hope it was okay if I did a top 10 list, (e:drew)):
1. Albany has an interesting blend of history and culture.
2. The countryside is really pretty, and its near the Adirondacks and Catskills.
3. I'm close to the cities I've always wanted to see- NYC, Boston, Montreal. I'm also near New England, which I also hope to travel around.
4. There's lot of museums and cultural events going on.
5. It's really convenient to be in the state capital.
6. I'm very grateful to have a steady job and insurance here.
7. Although my classes have been stressful, I really enjoy the class conversations. My professors are very good, too. I feel stimulated and motivated.
8. It is nice to get to some of my cousins from my dad's family who live here better.
9. There are some great diners here, and uncommon Grounds is good for my java fix (thanks (e:James)).
10. I have my very own apartment (I always shared my living space with other people).

you're allowed to be down, it's cool :) read my past journals, ha! i was a miserable mess for about a year. it's uncomfortable going through the adjustment phase after a move and soon enough that will transition into comfortable.

No complaints, I'm glad the lists are catching on! I categorize all of mine as "10 things" and you are welcome to do the same.
And just for the record, I've never called mine a "top 10," only "10 things." This is because I am too lazy to rank or even to make sure that the 10 things are the 10 top things. Nope, just a sample of the ten that came to mind when I sat down to journal.

living arrangementsCategory: life
I've decided I'd like to live with either a puppy or a guy. Since I don't think the "living with a guy" thing will work out soon... I kind of like the thought of having a puppy. Maybe if I find a place that allows animals or something.

Peter I agree that if a dog's whole life is spent locked in a small crate that's no good- but at the same time I think that when used properly and responsibly, crate-training is a good thing for a dog. Especially in multi-dog households.

I say go for both. It would be great. When one of you isn't home the other one can walk the dog, maybe the dog wouldn't be as lonely since there would be people there at different times of the day.
To (e:jenks) I agree that if you're living arangements make crating or caging then there is no sense to have a dog it is cruel to the dog. If someone thinks it isn't take the dogs body size and see how many times it can fit in the crate then take that number and times it by the size of you and make a cage that size for your self and stay in it all day. If you where using it just for kinky sex then fine but to live in it is cruel. Dogs have to be active and have some freedom just like any other animal.

I am dying for a dog, but leaving it home in a crate while I work 80/wk wouldn't really be fair... but the second I have better hours, I am getting a puppy/dog. Until then, I live vicariously through others. I stop and pet and coo over every random mutt I see in the street, and yes, I "happen to" wander into the dog park "by accident" on occasion- I'm sure I look like a crazy lady but I don't care.
I say go for it. Men may come and go, but a dog will love you for life!!!

They both get into lots of trouble, scratch themselves, and destroy cherished things. I guess it depends on which you find easier to train. ;)

By night Washington park is full of Hookers and drug dealers.
By day it is full of puppies, puppies, puppies!
I missed having pets when I lived in Albany and would go down to the dog park and play with other people's dogs. It was really pathetic of me, but it made me super happy. So, if you get a dog, take him there.

(e:Jenks) gave me some good advice about something, and it helped me out a lot. It made me see things in a different way than I had been. I appreciated having that perspective from someone who was willing to say it like it really was.
It hurts about what has happened over the past few months, but there's very good things that came about as a result of that hurt.
Work hasn't been going that well. I can't get into the situation on a public forum like this..but it's definitely not the best. I have been enjoying my classes (though the workload is very stressful). I especially like my state and society seminar. We get guest speakers each week from the department who introduce us to different fields and specialties. It's fun to have new professors every week. I still don't really know anyone that well. Most people are nice, but they are mostly just people I talk to about school stuff. Hopefully, that will start to change. I think they need an albany estrip or something.
Aaron's coming up next week, and we're going to see Dylan and Costello! I'm so psyched, it helps me get through the drugery of the days. Then, the next week, my sister and her boyfriend are coming up for a visit.

Thanks:).
I would definitely be interested in reading your book, though. hehe.

I really like your current user pic. Truly I understand not wanting to talk about work. I censor so much of what I would truly want to talk about on here. Work is one of them. Really it is not appropriate for me to talk about the people I work for. It would be fun to write a whole book about the good the bad and the ugly of what I do. Seriously, it really would.

I saw Bob Dylan a few years ago on his baseball tour and I have to admit, I was way way way more impressed with Willie Nelson who opened than I was with Bob. I guess it was because Willie actually engaged the crowd while Dylan was attached to his piano most of the time. But I still think its pretty damn cool that I got to see him. He is a legend after all.
