Jeff Healey 1966-2008 March 3, 2008

The blind Canadian guitarist passed away yesterday at the age of 41. His first rock album in 8 years is due to be released in April.

He was first known for the song “Angel Eyes” in 1988.

According to Wikipedia, Healey lost his sight at the age of 1 due to retinoblastoma, and had been battling cancer his entire life.

He leaves a wife, 13 year old daughter and 3 year old son.

Thank you for your talent and great music. Rest in Peace, Jeff.

That’s all from where I sit.

Stef’s Horrorscope: the “Stef’s timing really sucks!” edition March 3, 2008

Aquarius (1/20-2/1

One of your more attractive qualities is your sense of humor — you can see the funnier aspects of almost anything. This bright attitude has come to your rescue quite often in the past, and has enabled you to keep an even keel while other people whip themselves into a frenzy of worry. Today, when a friend is in distress, use that sense of humor to cheer them up and help them see that things aren’t so bad after all. Sure, life is not always perfect — but it is always amusing.

Oh, yeah… a laugh a minute here.

That’s all from where I sit.

Well, so much for sleeping late! March 3, 2008

Because there is no Oceanography today (because a lot of people have trouble finding enough time in between classes and other obligations, such as a job, to take the midterm), I was going to sleep in til at least 8am. So of course, I automagically wake up at 6:30am.

Damn body clock.

And, I was going to head to campus around 9:30am, do last minute studying for about an hour, then go to the Testing Center and take the test.

I wonder if I could get another hour of shut eye?

=====

After the wild and frenzied weather from last night, we’re supposed to see much colder temps and some snow today.

Oh. Joy.

Then, tomorrow, it’s supposed to get reasonably warm again.

I wish the weather would make up its mind. Is it winter or spring for cryin’ out loud?!

That’s all from where I sit.
