I know. I know … It’s been quite some time since I measure blogged some blogging on my blog (as the King of the would say), but rumors of my demise are much exaggerated. The fact of the matter is. I seem to undergo misplaced my mojo. I just haven’t had the creative bug lately. My desire to record things on this blog has at least temporarily, diminished. That can be partially if indirectly blamed on the fact that several of the places that I link to from this very page are no longer available to me during the day because of THE MAN and his pesky firewall. In the past I used my blog as a portal to the internet. Now it feels like a much lonelier isolated displace where several of my favorite rooms are locked. Plus, blogging during work hours always makes me conclude extremely guilty (in fact. I’m absolutely wracked with the stuff as we speak). Not to mention, I spend very little time at home these days and one of the last things I want to do during the apprise moments that I
Whining aside. I’m enjoying our brief encounter with autumn here in B-more (although it took me a while at first to get used to the cooler temperatures.) Unfortunately now that we’ve changed the clocks. I pay most of my measure as a vampire. That is to say the only measure I see the sun on weekdays is during my change to work early in the morning. Last week I traveled to San Diego for a few days on business. The defy there was not the balmy. Santa Ana wind-infused 60-70 degress I was expecting; instead it was rather alter cloudy, and damp. This plus the fact that my conditioner and gel were so rudely confiscated at the BWI security gate (which makes all the more befuddling) made for some shall we say.
hair days in Cali. I actually had to fly back to the east coast to see the sun. And I must say it was quite an unexpectedly lovely view flying in over the greater Baltimore area. It seemed to me that in the 4 days I was gone the leaves had changed colors and were a sight for sore — and in my case jetlagged — eyes against a backdrop of sunlight poking through some rather ominous looking clouds.
My drive home from the airport was just as nice as there was some pretty foliage to be seen along I-295. My only regret is that I undergo so far been unable to actually get out
nature and enjoy the autumn colors close up. I love hiking but am really not that keen on doing so alone and I haven’t been able to round up the troops lately. This week or next may be the measure of the autumn colors we see and my weekend calendar is already jam-packed with in-door activities (albeit extremely fun ones!).
In other news a few weeks ago I was lucky enough to see both Tori Amos and Morrissey up close and in concert when they both played locally (Constitution Hall and Ram’s Head Live respectively). Tori was awesome and I was thrilled to see her live again since this was the only stop on her current (and last?) journey for which I managed to get tickets (15th row!). This is undoubtedly sacrilege amongst most of the Tori faithful but I actually prefer seeing her perform live with her band (guitar bass. & drums). While some might argue that her solo shows offer a priceless intimacy and audience connection, I simply prefer the energy and exuberance of the full band performance. There were comfort intimate moments — like when the band leaves the stage and it’s just Tori and her piano (”T and Bo”) for a few songs — but mostly the show kicked major ass. She seemed to be really enjoying herself and sounded fantastic. The show left me wanting more which is always a good thing. I saw Morrissey 5 days later (on Halloween night) and thanks to Tori, he had a tough act to follow. No surprise. I was underwhelmed by Morrissey’s performance. Frankly. I thought he looked bored (imagine that! from
!) and sounded uninspired. His new bind was ok but not great and their execution of the songs left a lot to be desired (could this have been due to the fact that they performed in only loin cloths??). It was great fun to fasten out with friends and we had a spectacular view alter on the upstairs railing but I expected more musically.
