Here's proof that I may be losing my mind (taken from a phone conversation from Becca T):
Becca T: "So when's the concert tomorrow night?"
Me: "Huh?" pause "Oh my word - I totally forgot that Matthew Good is tomorrow night! AHHHH!!"
Yes, I actually totally forgot about the concert that I've been looking forward to for eons. I even had my Wednesday plans made: come home from work, clean floors and finish book club book just in time for Thursday's book club meeting. Ye Gods. I can't believe that I totally forgot.
Sooooooooo, anyhow thanks for all your wonderful haikus! You guys totally rock. At least I didn't forget that.
On the weekend I bought Neko Case's new CD "Fox Confessor Brings the Flood" and I love it. My favourite song is "That Teenage Feeling" which has a line that I adore:
"And nothing comforts me the same
as my brave friend who says
I don't care if forever never comes
'cuz I'm holding out for that teenage feeling."
I love that part so much that I know that it starts at exactly 1 minute into the song. Anyhow, if you like your indie rock with a bit of twang and awesome vocals, get this CD.
On Thursday, my book club that consists of some friends and many a current/former roommate is meeting to discuss The In Between World of Vikram Lall. I had the hardest time getting into this book but now I'm really liking it. I'm on about page 250 with 150 pages to go. Can I get it finished? I have faith in me.
My other book club, the teacher book club at my school, is looking for a book to read over the summer holidays. Any suggestions? (It has to be fiction.)

I can't believe you forgot about the Matthew Good concert, isn't that punishable by law or something. You should have to give up your ticket for someone who actually remembered as punishment. :p
As for books, I only read non-fiction, nothing's stranger than the truth. :)
Enjoy the concert, i too can not believe that you forgot about it... that is pretty amazing. Good for you and the show though you will have a great time.
As for books for the club. Amazingly I can't think of any at the moment. I will give it some thought.
Cheers,
Scott
That is a beautiful line...I'll have to check the iTunes music store for that one.
AS for the concert, didn't you have a countdown somewhere? in your calendar? your classroom?
As for the book recommendation, I have tonnes that I can recommend. Do you want a long book for it's a long summer or a short one? The ones I have read this year are pretty astounding.
Enjoy your concert.
Have an awesome time at the concert! I can't believe you forgot...tsk tsk :) And I'm crossing my fingers you finish your book :)
Though it was a great book, it took me forever to finish The Power of One by Bryce Courtenay. I would like to think that I was severely distracted by external forces. Enjoy.
So i was feeling really bad cus i've now posted on Sandee's Blog twice and wasn't able to post on yours before. I thought this one was a good one to answer to. First of all, as if you forgot a Matt Freaking Good Concert! some fan you are!!! I could see you forgeting something like, coming home for easter, going to work...something like that...not matt good!! As for book ideas i'm really into John Grisham right now. But what about the Darwin Conspiricy...the one I got for my dad for christmas. Well good luck
