Done yesterday (20110916 Fr)

( raw notes )

Wow. Only 5 items in the done list. Well, as one of them says, it was a productive day at work. But I spent pretty much the entire evening in front of the TV watching "Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives" with Colleen; and did exactly nothing when I went in to the office at 9:30 or so. Well, ok, reading Science counts. But somehow it doesn't feel right: it's doing something, but it's not getting something done.

Story of my life, these days. Some of it may be the unsettling effect of the work change, and some may be worry. But I don't think that's everything.

One link. :P

Songs for Saturday: When I Go

Over Labor Day weekend I moved from a software development job at Ricoh eWriter Solutions, back to R&D at Ricoh Innovations. The preceeding Wednesday morning, as part of my weekly status report, I sent around email pointing to a farewell document, When I Go - Steve Savitzky's Farewell To EWS.

The title was a blatant excuse to embed this video of Dave Carter's When I Go, performed by Pete & Maura Kennedy on YouTube. Go watch and listen. I'll wait.

I love that song. Talk about New Song Energy -- of course I tracked down the chords, downloaded it, and learned it. I earwormed it for nearly a month.

Here are Dave Carter and Tracy Grammer performing it live. It wasn't my first whirlwind romance with a Dave Carter song -- I vividly recall practicing "Gentle Arms of Eden" on Naomi's bed, about an hour and a half before we first performed it in pubic, at Consonance 2009. Why don't I have the audio for that one up? Hmm.

Anyway, that's my Second Songs for Saturday. Enjoy.
