That’s not true. You see, there was shit. Mouse shit, to be exact. Yes, there were mouse droppings on my desk and desk calendar when I got to work Monday morning. Ew! I’ve heard rumors that we have mice, but Monday was living proof. My boss says he’s going to have the building folks set out traps or something like that. I imagine mouse shit is a health hazard, don’t you think?

On a completely unrelated note, I saw “The Producers” Sunday night. It’s the traveling Broadway version and it was FANTASTIC! A night at the theatre is always a treat.

And I’m in for a second treat Friday night when I attend the Bellevue Little Theatre’s production of “Driving Miss Daisy.” I’ll have to write a review of the show for next Wednesday’s paper. Exciting stuff.

Matthew and I saw “In Good Company” last night. We both loved the movie, and the fantastic soundtrack was a bonus: songs by The Shins and Iron and Wine. Quite unexpected, that’s for sure.

The newest accessory for my 12″ G4 PowerBook :-)

Yum.

(Thanks to my Matthew for suggesting I post this story.)

I picked up an additional and rather sizable free-lance project on Thursday. I also received yet another employment rejection letter. I’m doing my best not to lose faith, but it grows ever more difficult with each day.

I was buying the two Bright Eyes albums at a Homer’s I hadn’t been in before, when I see Rufus Wainwright working behind the counter. He tells me about a few exclusive tracks he’ll release later this year via the iTunes Music Store.

Weird…

My sister faxed me an article on Conor Oberst in the February issue of Esquire magazine. It has one of the better observations about Oberst and the articles written as of late: “Listening to Oberst is far more fulfilling than reading about him.”

Right on, Andy Langer. Right on.

Am I the only one who things “Morning Edition” on NPR goes a little overboard with regard to international news? By no means am I saying I don’t want to hear international news, but there MUST be something going on here in the U.S.

Jeez, I hope this doesn’t sound too egocentric, “rah, rah America.”
