It's fitting that I end this less-than-stellar week with a Stars Align concert. In the ten years I have been following all the different permutations of this band, I have changed so much. All the ups and downs, it seems that this band has been the background soundtrack to it all.

I wouldn't find myself here if it wasn't for this music, this band. They were the glimmer of hope I had when things were really bad. And my touchstone, even now.

So, I'm off for some good music with some good friends. And maybe I'll find my happiness along the way.

Would twitter folks appreciate being notified that I have a new blog entry?

Strangely, I've always kept tabin.net on the down-low, which has both negative and positive consequences (depending on how much of an exhibitionist I feel like at the moment).

Any thoughts?

For example: I should not cut my own bangs. I can explain Constitutional Law, but I cannot cut hair; I must accept this. Unfortunately, I come to this realization one decision too late. Hopefully my hair stylist doesn't give me too much grief over this.

.... Yes, definitely not a good idea.

Three today. I made it until 6pm without one. That's better than most days. Tomorrow, will be better.

It's hard to break a habit. I'll be the first to admit that. Most of my life has been about habits and my inability to change. Today (well, yesterday), I had a plan to break a habit. I'll admit that I wasn't very successful in quitting cold turkey, but I cut back more than half. It'll be better tomorrow. And the day after that. Just one step at a time, I guess.

I decided the best way to focus my energy was to develop a new habit - writing down my thoughts at least once a day. I used to be such a prolific writer when I was younger; I just somehow lost that along the way. Maybe I became to busy. Or just distracted. Whatever it was, I lost that part of my routine.

So, everyday, I'll write. I will not promise anything interesting so for those of you who care - have fun reading.

For those of you who do not know: I am fostering a cat. It's much like fostering a kid... well, in the sense that you don't adopt, just support for awhile. Today, I had to take her in so a family could interact with her before making a decision on adoption. Sadly(?), she was not adopted; it may have been because she wasn't as playful as usual since she really does not like her carrier.

Since part of the day revolved around Tuscany (the cat), I figured today's picture should feature her. ... Please don't LOLcat her.

Chuck got picked up for the 2008 Fall Season!

Yay for Season TWO.

(Though, this does mean no new episodes until then, but at least there is a "then" to look forward to.)

Apparently I'm going to Paley Fest for the Chuck panel in March.

I was told this about five minutes ago.

Strange.
