So Counting Crows have a new song out. I heard it on the radio a week ago, having no clue what it was, but recognizing Adam Duritz. It's hard not to recognize him. Anyway, I was browsing iTunes a couple days ago and they were offering a free download of the song. Ah, I love iTunes. So cool. The song's called "Accidentally in Love" and it's rather bubbly. The beginning makes me think of the "That Thing You Do" song. But it's good.

Anyway. Mentioned that mainly for Carter and Leila and Kent, the biggest Counting Crows fans I know.

Last night Jo and I got pedicures at a place I'd never been to before down in League City. We're trying all the nail places in the area (and there are a ton of them). My toes finally look pretty again, hooray.

I am feeling very restless at work. There are all sorts of gossip and rumors and secrets flying around, and though I do love some gossip, it also leaves me feeling a little blah. And of course there is the perennial feeling of being underappreciated. As an analyst, I find that I'm not satisfied with just doing the work; I want to be involved in interpreting and presenting it as well, and I don't feel like I've gotten to that point yet. But this is an old and tired complaint, and the good news is that for the summer at least, I have plenty of projects to work on. So I am trying very hard to concentrate on the good.

And this afternoon I'm taking off with Jason and Chris for a businessman's special. Astros vs. Pirates at 1:05. Baseball makes everything better.
