I feel like I'm getting behind on real blogging, partly because it's spring and everything is happening at once, and partly because I'm on twitter and facebook for more of my messing-about-on-the-internet part of the day. A quick update:

1. MOVING--we aren't, not for at least one year. It's relaxing to have verified this, so I don't have to think about it.

2. URBAN NATURE WALK--I'm hosting one this Saturday, meeting at 9:30 a.m., at the zebra entrance of the Franklin Park Zoo. Don't know when I'll have the time to do another one. Don't really know when I'll have the time to properly research THIS one, but it will help to get the books out of the back of my car and up into the house where I can read them.

3. WORK STUFF--lots of it going on, I'm digging it mostly.

4. TRAVEL--I appear to be leaving the US at least 3 times before the fall this year. Whoa.

5. MUSHROOM STUFF--went to a lecture on monday and learned enough for a huge interesting lj post that I don't have time to post right now.

6. ROCK BAND--I'm getting really good at pretending to play drums. What'll that get me?

I think you'll have more fun with the Yamaha DD55; Mike has one, ITS AWESOME. It was pretty cheap, too! It sounds good, has loads of drum sounds, or you can add your own, you can play out-loud, or on headphones(excellent for drumming while NOT in a proper practice space). It even fits inside the large Timbuktu courier bag! If you can get the custom stand with it, do;)

Looks like the DD55 has been discontinued, but the DD65 looks pretty nice! http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/DD65/

And SOMEbody has a birthday/10 years in zookeeping party coming up in August...
