Journal Journal: Journals, huh

Interesting, this. I'm almost afraid to type into this box, because I could ramble on for hours about all the things going on in my life. My boyfriend says I have "diarrhea of the mouth", whatever that means ;-) Anyway, I haven't been posting to /. lately because I signed out of my AOL account and have been searching for a new, better ISP at the behest of Gary. Well, since you're reading this it should be apparent I've found one. While getting my computer set up for this new ISP was a not altogether pleasant learning experience, the nice thing is that I can now use the Internet in my Linux setup now :-) Gary coached me through setting up kppp yesterday, so it dials up now and I can read Slashdot from inside Mozilla like a real geek should. Now all I need to do is learn how to use the command line...

Out in the real world, I've taken to studying music. I got a cheap old guitar at a flea market last week, and am taking some voice classes at the local community college. I can bang out a rough rendition of "Wish You Were Here" now, but not much else :-) Anybody know of any good music resources on the Web that could help me learn some theory? I've been through all the used bookstores and all I've found are dry old college textbooks. It doesn't seem just to treat a source of so much beauty and splendor as a lifeless scholarly pursuit. Oh well, the Beatles never knew any theory, maybe I can get along without it ;-)

Uh oh, looks like I've gotta go. I'm going to go get some Thai food with some girlfriends and then maybe see a movie. How does "Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood" sound?
