Snuck off this morning for breakfast at Crystal Cove. I know, I know, you probably hate me… Fall really is the time of year I go to the beach the most, because I prefer to avoid Summer crowds and am jonesin’ by the time Fall rolls around. I do some of my best thinking down there, so it’s a necessary pleasure.

Woo hoo!
The site is coming along quite nicely now. I just keep adding little touches here and there to bring it up bit by bit. I am currently chatting with PME 2006 Award Winner, C.C. Chapman, (heh heh) about Technorati. Let’s see if my plug in is working yet…
Music in my head
I woke up with a Cocteau Twins song in my head, one with a big soaring chorus background vocal, very dramatic. Their song names are so crazy that I honestly don’t know most of them! There was a snatch of lyric, however fleeting, that goes, “You are a woman just as you are a man.” Odd, yes? Anyway, turned out to be “Seekers Who Are Lovers” from Milk & Kisses. I really do love that CD. I prefer their late period material.
I like my horoscope for today: Balancing out the intellect and the heart is a tricky business.
Awesome morning at Bolsa
Took some time off from building the site to enjoy the perfect weather watching the local surfers down at Bolsa State Park Beach. Man! Nothing quite like a great morning outdoors to recharge your batteries. Saw my neighbor pal, Brian Anderson, ripping up small waves when I got there. He is really fun to watch; mad style and makes it look so easy. I just found two YouTube videos of “Loaf” which is cool, because he doesn’t have much of a web presence. Too busy surfing, I guess! Didn’t get stellar shots, but put up some pretty pix on Flickr.
On my Shuffle I was listening to Ghost in the Machine, by The Police, which I hadn’t heard in fricken years. I just picked up the CD through lala.com. Man! It blew me away when I was a kid and I think it still holds up today. People think “80’s music” is all fluffy goofy new wave, but this shit is amazing. Their use of reverb alone is great. But the lyrical content – holy crap – it’s even more true now — “Rehumanize Yourself,” “One World”, and “Too Much Information” – come on!
So… great morning/afternoon. Back to work, I guess!
Chillin’ with Anji Bee Vidcast #7
I think this is the first vidcast I did in one take! Let’s see, I gab excitedly about the creation of anjibee.com, my recent conversation with Julien Smith, getting tea from Tom, annoying Ryan Lum with incessant blabbering about Jules and John Mayer and um, stuff. Just watch it already! (OMG, as I was typing this, I got a notification that JM updated his blog! HA!)

I heart Jules!
Yesterday Julien Smith and I got together virtually for a special collaborative podcast mashup of The Chillcast and In Over Your Head and just absolutely had a ball! Jules will be playing the first 24 mintues of our conversation and musical mayhem on Sirius Satellite Radio Channel 102 this Friday at 7:30 ET. He may or may not put up the full version on his podcast feed, we’ll just have to wait and see…
