I'm still here!
Wow...it's been a long while since I've posted...Lauching a new network takes up quite a bit of time...but alas, I have some to blog a little about what I've been up to aside from that...
- Saw Elton John's concert at the Arrowhead Pond last Saturday night. In spite of being a huge Elton John fan, this was the first time I'd seen a purely Elton John concert. The only other time I saw him was back in '94 when he toured with Billy Joel. It was quite cool. And what I found interesting was that he opened up with EIGHT songs from his new album "Peachtree Road." The song actually had a bit more kick live and it was quite a bold move to begin the set with so much new material. My friend Tim whom I went with to the concert put it best when he said, "It's like new Elton is opening up for old Elton."
- Speaking of piano men, yay for the new Ben Folds album, "Songs for Silverman!" I was taken aback at how mellow it is, but it's really grown on me. "Trusted" and "Landed" are my faves at the moment. And a YAY-er for his show with Rufus Wainwright at the Wiltern in August. Hooray!
- Got to attend a special salute to "The Amazing Race" at the Academy of TV Arts and Sciences. It was awesome. Dennis Miller moderated the Q & A and Phil Keoghan was there along with the producers of the show and a number of the racers. After the show I got to meet Brian and Greg and Lynn and Alex, all very very nice guys. Once things settle down after the network launches, I'll post some pics from the event up here.
- I wanna go to Disneyland!!!!
- It looks like another big change for me is around the corner...It looks like I'm [cue Billy Joel] moving out. Ted and Larry want to give living on their own a shot, so this summer I'm going to be looking for a new place. Dunno whether I'll be living on my own or with a new roomie. But in any case, another chapter of my life closes.
So those are pretty much the big highlights of the past month or so aside from work. I can't believe the network launch is around the corner. I've gotten so wrapped up with the steps to getting what i need to do done, that I haven't had time to step back and see what this is all heading towards.
Speaking of which...I need to get ready to head to work...After the 24th, I'll hopefully have more time to blog. Until then...

Spooky. I was just thinking that I hadn't seen an update from you or Caleb recently...
Congrats on the network. Any word yet on the clearances?

Glad to see you're surfacing for air once in a while, but I've got to gracefully disagree on the Ben Folds album. I haven't been more bored or disappointed with an album ever. Don't get me wrong, there's a great song on that album, I just wish that he hadn't recorded it 11 times and put them all on the same disc. *yawn*
