Insert cliched Russian accent here -
"how much you pay? $15? We say $15 yes, and I not use meter. I think you think this is pretty good deal yes. Is between you and me, yes? Yes. I think so."
I love taxi drivers.

Oops I did it again!
The text message read: "You can't miss it this year! Please Please Please....remember the fun we had in Byron"
Yes. Yes I did remember the fun we had in Byron, and it was indeed fun. It was more than fun though, it was genius. And with that recollection of that genius time, I have now found myself in the midst of another Yescapade.
Yesterday, I went on-line and found and purchased tickets to a music festival called The Electric Picnic. In Ireland. In August. In 2007. InSANE? No, just happy to say YES!
Although I now have to wait around 9 months for this Yescapade actually happen, its opened the door to planning, and I love to plan.
I have to get a flight. Actually, why not visit some friends while I'm over in that neck of the woods. Why not check out the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and do some heavy duty research about how to put on a show? Why not indeed.
I have also spent a lot of this morning looking at my calendar and adding things to it - it appears that if I am itchy, I can scratch myself on Feb 28th and then again some time in May....but only if I really must. This full time job caper is getting harder and harder to justify - now if I could just make money some other way that could allow me my flights of fancy and to pay the rent....and still give me the free time I need to rehearse and jam and perform....what if I could get paid to rehearse and jam and perform....now there would be an ideal world. I'd probably meet a suitably nice single man in that world too - ah, who I am kidding, that would just be mental.
Back to my Yescapade .... smile.
The text message read: "OMG! I have just purchased Electric Picnic tickets! I am coming to Ireland! Believe it!"
Bliss.

Friends - Romans - Countrymen - Whoever!
Opportunity knocks for Amanda Buckley.
Its not often you hear a song with the line:
I am really getting into this whole astrological readings business. Afterall, who can argue when the outlook is this good. If I have interpreted todays message correctly, Mr Right is just around the corner and regardless of whether we a) are attracted to one another b)are suitable for each other or even c) cannot stand each other, he will be the one and we will be all death do us part and stuff....awesome.
31 is as exciting as I had thought it would be - and its only one week in!
Hoorah!
Its not often you hear a song with the line:
This is for all the single peoplewhile you are reading your astrological prediction for the day that tells you:
You will gain satisfaction from those relationships that are stable, irrespective of with whom they are. If you were to begin a new partnership or romantic affair, while it may not be demonstrative, it will have longevity and be incredibly steady.which is pretty cool.
