What a week-end...

Salut,

sitting in the living room, still in my PJs... Yes, I do wear them, but only when I get up... Guess what I wear when I sleep? When I DO sleep ;-P...

I was thinking, while typing the first word after Salut, above (which is a classic BTW, in the last 20 some years I have been using email and other sorts of virtual communication, I always started my message with "Salut [somename]," and end them with "BYE\nMAD" :-)... But I realize now that I start most of my blog post by saying where I'm sitting... Maybe I should change my name for Sitting MAD :-)... Whatever...

I had a great week-end so far (and intend to rest a little bit today so that I can properly attack next week, which seems promising too). First things first, office party on Friday. As I was telling you my my previous post, me and an another guy were volunteers to take care of the entertainment and be the skemmtanastjóri (which stands for something like Master of Entertainment in Icelandic). We only had a few people that registered to present something, but it ended up much bigger than we anticipated...

Many people stepped up to the plate with amazing performances... we had a lot of fun... I filmed a few of these performances but didn't get to transfer the videos in my computer yet. They will most likely show up in my Youtube account at one point... Stay tuned...

And last night... I went to see Mes Aïeux, they are amazing!!! I already love them on CD, and live it is even better... I'm not a big fan of folk or traditional music, but they do it in a kind of modern way and put a special touch to it that I just love... Very good musicians, great arrangements, all sorts of instruments and excellent vocal harmonies too... But what I love the most about them is their lyrics... So well written, funny, good rhythm, etc... Simply... Excellent...

OK, now to my Sunday alone... What will I do with it? What would YOU do with it? Do you often have full days alone with nothing planned like that? I must admit there are two edges to this sword... It is attracting in the sense that we often feel we don't have enough time for ourselves... And yet, when we do get some... We feel lonely... At least I do... But I don't want to complain about it... It's my choice... and I respect it... So let's see how I use this day... Of course... I'll try hard... to.... HAVE FUN!!!

Talk to you later...

BYE
MAD
