Fun Filled Wednesday

I have a confession to make...I am addicted to Twitter. Yep, there it is...all out in the open now and I can't take it back. I have made some new friends via Twitter, who I will call my tweeps. Two of the tweeps I made today are Loren DiGiorgi and Pat Sajak.

Pat is a funny fellow, with a quick wit. His comments will catch you off guard and cause damage to your monitor if you are in the process of taking a drink of soda (or other liquid). He actually plays Wheel of Fortune during the day with his followers, which is fun. I sadly admit that this afternoons game stumped me, which is rare. (Bananas Foster - who knew?) I grew up watching Wheel of Fortune with my dad, and we are very competitive. Maybe that is what started my love of words...hmmm something to think about.

My other new friend today, Loren, is a composer. He plays beautiful piano music. I have always loved piano music, and wished that I had the talent to play. I had lessons as a kid, but only a few songs remain in my memory. I will admit that I can figure out a tune by listening to it, but its just pecking at the keys with one hand, not the gorgeous melody that real pianist can produce. My favorite song of Loren's is The Last Hinterland. He was a pleasant person to talk to and I hope I get a chance to talk more with him. If you would also like to check out his music here is a link to his Twiturm: http://twiturm.com/profile/darkpiano or you can check out his website: http://www.lorendigiorgi.com/ . I encourage you to check it out because I think you will be just as impressed as I was today. As we do on Twitter...RT DarkPiano"A painter paints pictures on canvas. But musicians paint their pictures on silence." ~Leopold Stokowski.

Hello everyone, I know I've told you all that I'm taking a break from Twitter, Facebook and blogging to put focus on finishing book #2 and #3, but I have to share with you another web gem. I stumbled upon a talented singer on YouTube one evening and his voice just blew me away. His name is Drew Dawson Davis . I was searching for music to help me feel one of the characters in my book, so I was looking for a particular song which just happened to be Garth Brook's Shameless. I know, I know, ew! It's country music. Whatever. :P Intrigued, I began checking out each of his videos and now I have listened to each of his posted videos repeatedly. They have become a musical muse for working on. If you get a chance, check him out (and no, not all of his music is country). Here is a link to Drew Dawson Davis "Shameless" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eUdIbdb_hA0 Ciao for now!

Web Gems

I love to find fun websites on the internet. Here are two sites I found this week. This first one is hilarious and someone could spend hours just reading through the funny, interesting, weird, disgusting, and sometimes “down right wtf were they thinking” text. This website is Txts Frm Lst Nght (Text From Last Night). Now I know we all have sent a text to someone that once we hit the “send” button we wished there was a “retrieve” button. This website showcases text messages sent that I am sure the sender wished they would not have sent. Lucky for us, the gracious recipient of the text message thought that the world would be a better place if they shared it with everyone. Not only does it exhibit the uncomfortable display of bad spelling, compromising situations and/or embarrassing circumstances, but you the reader also get a chance to reply and grade the text message. Talk about adding insult to injury, but it’s all in fun and (I hope) no one gets hurt. If you feel venturous here is the
