Just for All You HSM Fans
Thursday, October 25th, 2007Yesterday I logged into my accounts with my web site hosting service, making sure everything was up to date. I clicked on my site stats and laughed right out loud. Almost half of the people who click over to my blog via search engines get here by Googling “High School Musical!” Since there are so [...]
High School Musical Mania
Wednesday, July 25th, 2007Okay, I admit it. I’m in LOOOOOOVE. Gabriella. Troy. Sharpay. Ryan. All of it! Yes, I have “High School Musical 2 Premiere” written on my calendar (August. 17!)

I got their new album a week ago to prepare for the concert and all I can say is “Oye Mamacita!” Gnarls [...]
Shawn Oh Shawn Mullins
Friday, March 24th, 2006Last night I went to see Shawn Mullins at the Cactus on campus. I have been a fan of his for a long long time, since Soul’s Core in 1998 when “Lullaby” was a hit, followed by “Shimmer.” He’s a narrative song writer with a husky voice. He likes to talk in his songs as [...]
