A weeks worth of randomness…

Quick recap on what I’ve been up to in the past week…

I watched muchos programmos including..

  • An awesome concert by The Sainte Catherines on bandeapart
  • Bob Mould’s live concert DVD Circle of Friends which has confirmed that me and Mr TMcG will be headed of to Toronto in March to check out the live show (like we had any doubts!!!)
  • Caught up on some Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche’s talks on ‘Dying Well’
  • Generation Lost- Rise Against’s first DVD with concert footage and a super documentary which confirmed my belief that they are such a nice group of boys!

I almost hopped a flight to see Lagwagon at a free show in Toronto but some shady shenanigans from their pasts kept them from being able to cross the border.

Went to see Jim Gaffigan- who made me giggle

I worked a bit on my homework for my final “One Year to Live” class in developing a powerpoint presentation to sum up my life so far and give closure to it all. No easy feat there! Many people in the class are working on bristolboard posters and scrapbooks but being the big geek I am- I chose to do it digitally. Between this project and working on finalizing my will, these are two of the most difficult things I’ve done. EVER!!!

My friend AS made me laugh hysterically with her cat-poop-drapery story. I wish she blogged this kind of stuff.

I almost finished one of the most brilliant books…“The Healing Power of the Mind” by Tulku Thondup

“This book is an invitation to awaken the healing power of mind through inspiring images and sounds, mindful movements, positive perceptions, soothing feelings, trusting confidence, and the realization of openness. The healing principle on which these exercises are based is the universal nature and omnipresent power envisioned in Mahayana Buddhism. Yet for healing, we don’t have to be believers in any particular faith. We can heal body and mind simply by being what we truly are, and by allowing our own natural healing qualities to manifest: a peaceful and open mind, a loving and positive attitude, and warm, joyful energy in a state of balance and harmony.”

I didn’t sit as much as I’d have liked to…

    heya – I’ve enjoyed your site the times I’ve visited.

    last year you wrote about my first album ‘Bloom’.

    I have a new one out now called ‘Dharmasong’! Would *love* for you to come take a listen and maybe write a bit about it.
