Rock the Light

Good Lord, but how I needed the rock last night. After waiting around the house for three hours for the DSL repair guy - only to find out at the bottom of the third hour that it wasn't our telephone line, but the modem they sent us that was causing the problem....ergh....then, rushing down to school for orientation only to miss the session I wanted to attend...then rushing over to the bookstore only to find out it had closed early - just five minutes before I got there (evil Mills bookstore workers --how dare you smirk at me like that? I'm like, you know, old enough to be...your older sister)...then rushing home. Oops...strike that...there was no rushing when it came to getting home. It took me nearly three and a half hours...which meant we couldn't meet Kevin at Empire at 6:30...

Anyway....we finally made it there at 7:30 and the show, thankfully, didn't start until 7:45 and Patti Smith rocks harder than most women half her age and it was exactly what I needed after a long day, a long week of running around trying to get things in order for going back to school so that my school/work/personal life don't completely disintegrate into a feathery pile of ashes...

So yeah, thank you Patti....
