    Saturday TunesAh, Memorial Day. It’s hard to have an “unofficial start to summer” when your kids have 6 weeks left in school and the temperature pretty much hovers around the same 20 degree variable 10 months a year. Alas, it’s summer and I’m excited about that.

    We’ve had a hectic for a kick-off to a 3 day weekend. Last night we decided to take the trolley down to the Gasplamp district of San Diego to enjoy our family date night. While we got settled onto the trolley I got a text that my long-awaited iPhone app had finally released. (You get to submit and wait for Apple, no choice on a release date.) Tucking that distraction into the back of my mind we had a good evening of walking around downtown and eating at the Old Spaghetti Factory. [Just OK food, but the kids liked it.]

    This morning I woke up and did a bit of PR to get things moving with the app. Then I dashed of to Del Mar to film a podcast segment with a comedian… who was funny despite it being 10 in the morning. From here we actually don’t know what we’re doing until Tuesday morning. I’m sure we’ll figure it out.

    For now, I’m just chilling and listening to some music.

    Here are the next 10 tunes flowing to my cranium. As always… completely random with my ratings included:

    1. Fix You by Coldplay ***** (Love this free album!)

    2. The Swing by Kimya Dawson ****

    3. Make Someone Happy by Jimmy Durante ****

    4. The Glory of It All by David Crowder Band ****

    5. Stuck to You by Nikka Costa ****

    6. I’m Sticking With You by The Velvet Underground ****

    7. One by U2 *****

    8. Can You Feel It? by David Crowder Band ***

    9. Joyful, Joyful, We Adore You by Charlie Hall ****

    10. Hard Times by Ray Charles

  • Saturday Tunes

    Saturday TunesThis was an incredibly fast week. A week of big ups and downs. I’m actually thrilled to get to the weekend and start relaxing. Today we have some fun planned. The kids have been begging us to take them bowling… and since I’m not a fan of the game I’ve put it off for a long, long time. From there we plan on doing some furniture shopping. When we left Romeo we were going from 2000 square feet to about 1000. The new place is more like 1500… which means the kids rooms are virtually empty. So we’re off to find them desks and bookshelves and things like that. Then mom and dad get to have some fun. The contracts on our phones are finally open, so we’re going to head to the Apple store and finally jump on the iPhone 3G bandwagon. I had gone back and forth with the Blackberry vs. iPhone… in the end, the App store takes it over the edge.

    This morning is quiet. Coffee brewing, birds chirping, music playing. Here are the next 10 songs playing on my (for sale) iPod. As always, completely random and my ratings are included.

    #1 My Hope by David Crowder Band ****

    #2 Sitting, Waiting, Wishing by Jack Johnson ****

    #3 Everytime You Go Away by Paul Young ****

    #4 A Woman’s Worth by Alicia Keys ****

    #5 Walkin’ Blues by Eric Clapton ****

    #6 Hallelujah, I Love Her So by Ray Charles ****

    #7 Becoming by Three63 ****

    #8 World by Five for Fighting ****

    #9 Green Eyes by Coldplay ****

    #10 So What by P!nk *****

  • Saturday Tunes

    We just said goodbye to Kristen’s parents. They were here for 8 days. It was a really fun visit and we were all sad to see them go. Lots and lots of happy memories.

    I have a feeling today will be fairly uneventful. A couple errands, a couple walks, but that’s pretty much it. Lifestyles of the rich and famous, right?

    As with every Saturday, my morning gets started with a nice cup of tea and some music. Here are the next 10 songs on my ipod. As always, this is totally random and my ratings are included.

    #1 Accidentally in Love by The Counting Crows *****

    #2 Free Falling by John Mayer *****

    #3 Already Home by Ha-Ash *****

    #4 Expectations by Belle and Sebastian *****

    #5 Maria Maria by Santana ****

    #6 Footloose by Kenny Loggins ****

    #7 VIva la Vida by Coldplay *****

    #8 Amazing Grace by Jadon Lavik ****

    #9 Oh the Glory of It All by David Crowder Band *****

    #10 Believe by The Bravery *****

  • Saturday Tunes

    Saturday is here. We were supposed to be doing the last day of our garage sale… but neither Kristen nor I felt it was worth it. So if you are looking for a couple of furniture items just drop by and ask, OK?

    With the moving truck coming on Monday and serious loading beginning on Tuesday, I think the best description we have for what’s going on here is “preparing.” There isn’t a ton left to do, but there is still stuff to get done. Oh, and we have a showing at lunch time. 

    So, while I’m doing the Saturday thing… music is always going. Here are my next 10 tunes. As always this is completely random with ratings included. 

    #1 Viva la Vida by Coldplay *****

    #2 Girls Just Wanna Have Fun by Cindi Lauper ****

    #3 Hollywood by Collective Soul *****

    #4 Busted by Vetiver ****

    #5 Take Me by Vineyard Generation ****

    #6 Can I Stay Here Forever by Starfield ***

    #7 Sleep by Kimya Dawson *****

    #8 Plain White Rapper by KJ-52 ****

    #9 We All Want the Same Thing by Kevin Michael ****

    #10 You Were Meant for Me by Jewel

    saturday tunesThis week I got a new MacBook. (not the Air, a black MacBook since I wasn’t impressed with the Air. Just to clarify!) In the course of moving over 40gb of data I wasn’t able to import all of my ratings from iTunes into the new computer. Total bummer on that. The result is that I have to start over with my ratings… all 5,000 songs now have to be re-rated. That said, today’s edition of the Saturday Tunes is going to be especially random. As usual, these are the next 10 tunes coming out of my iTunes shuffle, no cheating and ratings included.

    1. Walkin’ by Miles Davis ****
    2. Searching by Jadon Lavik **
    3. Pomp and Circumstance ** <– graduation song, too funny
    4. The Beginning by Lifehouse **
    5. Hidden Track by Shaun Groves * (this song is so annoying, I like it but the mix is so odd, there is a girl on the recording from the audience who kills the song)
    6. Restore by Daystar **
    7. It’s Like Me by Kutless **
    8. Listen to the Music by The Doobie Brothers ****
    9. I Can Wait by Out of the Grey *
    10. In My Place by Coldplay *** (Gotta be depressed to like this one)
