hi people....it's past 2am and i'm still awake. i've been suffering from insomnia i suppose. can't get much sleep - part of it is the coughing and such, but i don't think that's entirely the case. anyways, i was up to watch howie day on last call only to see that he was not on...grrr.. oh well. i just got the howie day special edition album with bonus tracks. i'm coming to really love howie...it came w/ an autographed cd cover. =) he's playing the roxy on 12/6...but curse it all - it's a monday!! i've waited for that guy to come to so. cali and it's on a completely horrible day to go...booooooo. i will think about it, but my better judgement says absolutely no.

i also found out he is playing a xmas show in chicago w/ john mayer....grrr. and in more john mayer news, he will be on kimmel 12/7...yet another horrid day to go and see a person get interviewed and perform. *sigh* it's fine...i will watch on tv.

anyways, as i couldn't sleep and howie was not on, i was watching late night oprah. it was her *favorite things* episode. this one was particularly cool...the entire audience consisted of teachers because they were her favorite people..hehe. it's the best show ever because every person in the audience gets:
a flat-screen tv
sony vaio laptop
$500 @ officemax
burberry cashmere scarf and quilted coat
d&b duffel bag
2 person getaway to a spa resort in AZ
$100 @ starbucks
mp3 player
electronic navigation device for the car
bubble bath & lotion
tea set & tea
lipstick set
williams-sonoma complete bedding (990 thread count!)
maytag washer/dryer and flat item drying center (for sweaters) w/ free installation
hand-blown champagne flutes
cardigan-pant outfit and jeans
watch by movado...

good grief...thousands and thousands spent on each person. now that's power...shouldn't oprah just take over the world now? that list of stuff was awesome yet saddening...good grief, there are people out there who can buy all that stuff in mass quantities. ok, well, i guess i'm off to bed...or off to stay awake in bed. goodnight to you all. =)
