Well, cartel finally leaked; It’s heaven to my ears… except right now I think I have an ear infection. It is really annoying. I think it’s from all the swimming in Tennessee… I guess it could be swimmers ear; makes sense. I will go make a visit to the health center tomorrow before work, see if they have anything to say about it.

Today I went to that KU manager training. I got there an hour early… the email said 8 in the morning, so that’s what I did… but it started at 9. Waiting up all night for the new cartel was still worth the 4 hours of sleep. The training itself was aright. I felt really out of place, everyone else there has people working under them… and there is me, the one working by myself in a closet. All the “team-work” activities are fun and all but I don’t think they apply to my position at all. Oh well I got paid to do it, plus free KU catering breakfast and lunch.

After work I cleaned some more… I’m making this place look good. I picked up groceries and more cleaning supplies with cheet today. We bleached out the fridge… looks good now. Only gotta mop up the floors… and this place can actually be in a DTM-approved living condition.

Today as I was listening to the new cartel (all day), it got me thinking about the music I listen to and how much I love it… and how much music I have downloaded for free without giving the music artist anything. I know I buy a lot of t-shirts and go to plenty of shows. But there are so many artists that I don’t give anything to but still love them. I felt like I needed to contribute more today; I bought about 100 dollars worth of band t-shirts today. For how much I like buying the actual album… I hate how I have nowhere to put it. The last album I bought was copland – motion… and it is sitting at home on a shelf and has never made it to a cd player, because it already had it downloaded to my computer and ipod. The album art is cool and all but… when you have SO many albums, it honestly is just “clutter” to me. I guess I am one living in the 21st generation… listening to music through my seven 6.1 surround sound computer speakers, and carrying 40 gigs of music everywhere I go with my ipod. Well today, 7 artist I have never seen live or bought anything of their stuff… just got some of my money. (Plus I think the band makes more from a t-shirt than from the cd; cheaper to make? i think.)

Today was a pretty good day otherwise… I hope this ear thing will go away. Well I will see what the doc has to say tomorrow.
