She danced on the sands Giddily.
giddy is a good term for how i'm feeling right now. i'm so lucky - i get to go to italy tomorrow! my mother and i are taking a week-long cooking class in tuscany, followed by a few days in venice, and then finishing the trip up with four days in paris. damn. i'm so excited, i can hardly wait! it just really sunk in that i'm leaving Very Soon, and i've been doing little victory dances around my house, whipping my cats about in the air, with occasional clapping and bouncing. yay! yay!
and other stuff is good! i had a party last weekend, which was incredibly fun, although the hangover and cleanup were something fierce.
i'm starting classes when i get back from my trip, to embark upon a new 'career'. this is good, seeing as what i've been doing for work for the past year plus is exhausting, and i'm ready for a change. :)
my good pal who works at nullsoft/shoutcast gave me more free bandwidth (!!) for indie pop rocks, and as a result, my radio station has more listeners than ever, and i'm feeling incredibly proud and happy. i love having a radio station! i love getting emails and feedback from my listeners telling me about how they live in some sort of cultural black hole in nowhere, az or wherever and that listening to my station makes their life bearable. it's a fantastic feeling.
the dj gig at the casanova has been continuing at a once-a-month rate, and it's still really really fun. it's a good excuse to get the pals to come out for a drink and to hang out. i really enjoy it. :)
on a sad note, fucking sucks that elliott smith died. i love his music. been getting lots of requests to hear him on the station, and lots of friends just emailing and chatting about how sad they are he's gone. :( very sad. RIP.
