So The Philharmonic is performing one of my favorite pieces, Rimsky-Korsakov's "Scheherezade" (or some such combination of letters), and I got a ticket! They're also doing "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" which should be amusing, and a new oboe concerto. Yay!
Otherwise, just busy with work. I'm working on planning some big events in 2006 and 2007, so that's keeping me busier than I would normally be.
And today's schedule was complicated by an unforseen trip to B&H, the best camera shop in the City. See, I went yesterday and bought a new camera and a new camera bag, too. But one of the many zippers on the camera bag wouldn't work, and the tooth looked like it was really fucked up. So I went back today, after trying many times to fix said zipper, to exchange. And the guy behind the counter just went... "Zip..." and it was fine. $11 buck cab ride, for nothing. Well, not exactly for nothing. I went around the corner and had a T-bone for lunch at Uncle Jack's. Mmm, I love steak!
Posted by Jon at February 8, 2005 01:06 AMYou love "steak"? :-) Just come out and admit it, don't use euphemisms, dear. That's so '96. *hehehe*
Glad to hear you're back in the swing of things. Have you gotten my e-mail over on the other blog? Do you have another e-mail address that you check *more* often?

Well, in this day and age, if you eat meat you're not just looking to backlog your colon. You're just an Atkins or South Beach aficionado.
Which are you?
BTW - I only eat poultry and fish, and other veggies. Haven't had any animal meat in over 13 years. And the only thing I really miss is bacon. Oh, and every so often my mother's Swedish meatballs.
So, love your steak, eat your meat, and lick that bone! *heheheh*

Posted by: jon collins at February 9, 2005 09:35 AMBob: Last time I checked, chicken and fish were still categorized as animals. But copy me the memo if you know something I don't! And I promise, it wasn't Atkins, there were delicious steak fries to be had, as well.
Jon: Nice camera choice, from what I hear. Although I have to say, so far I'm thrilled with my D70. I just want to go lens shopping, though.
Posted by: Jon at February 9, 2005 09:53 AMHey,
I never said I was a "vegetarian" or anything like that. :-) I just 'don't dig on swine' - or most cloven-hoofed animals. You'd think that I should just convert to Judaism or Islam?
Nah!
Oh, LOVE "Scheherezade"! (I should bring my comments back to the thread, eh?)
Glad you got a good digi-camera. The better to take pics of hottie advertisements, fiber arts, and other sundry body parts. *ahem* ;-P
