Well (I hope this helps you out) If you never saw Jewel befor (like me), I think a 2 hour drive IS worth it, whatever if she's gonna play for an hour or 2 or whatever... We're talking about Jewel here!!... But if you'd just be there to see her AGAIN (lucky you) you might want to wait till she's in you town, I don't know....

The list is so dead.... uh... tonight I'm going to a homecoming dance at my old high school. I graduated last year in a class of 96 kids- our school only had about 500 kids, so we don't have a football team, so we have a informal homecoming dance the night before thanksgiving. How weird. I didn't do too well in High School. It's not that I didn't have friends, but that I had friends that felt compelled to be nice to me, or else I'd hurt them. Seriously, many people at my school were afraid of me. I have no clue why. I've never beat up a soul except for my brother. I think it's because I was one of the few people who always told the truth- if you were being a bitch, I'd tell you so. If you asked me if your hair looked good, and it didn't , I'd tell you so. It does no good to lie. Needless to say, I made a lot of enemies out of the people who didn't like hearing the truth. And I kept my relationships with everyone I cared about. My best friend was friends with all these people that I couldn't stand, and so every once in a while I would hang out with them, but I don't want to see them again. So why am I going back ? I'm not sure. I want the few kids that I left behind, and care about , to see my hair. I was told that one of the most popular girls in my class gained a lot of weight, and I want to laugh at her. My best friend will be there, and I want to see if she really HAS been ignoring me for the past month, like it seems. I don't want to be hugged by people I don't care about. I don't want to have to pretend to kiss any asses that mean nothing to me. I guess I just want to see what I'm not missing missing. Good night, everybody. Wish me luck. And have a great Thanksgiving.

Well, Helen, just because we live in different countries doesn't mean we can't all be thankful for things. Here's are a few things to be thankful for no matter where you are in the world: E-mail. I really hate to buy stamps and my handwriting is crummy anyway. Val Azzoli of Atlantic Records for undoing everything Bob Morgado did to Warner Music Group, and for finally stopping the label's annoying abandonment of its solo female artists (Tori, Jewel, Donna, take note). Now, Val, could you please update your web site? The cities of Anniston and Tuscaloosa, Alabama for keeping radio stations that actually play music people younger than 30 want to hear. In Birmingham, you get Wimp Radio, Honky Tonky, or The 70's Stalest Hits. A boss that pays you BEFORE leaving on a Thanksgiving vacation. Apple Computer 'cause even if they don't put a Mac on every desktop, they'll keep Microsoft busy improving Windows, which is good for users of both platforms. Jewel Kilcher for making 'alternative music' that really _is_ an alternative. No, van life was not in vain. And, it was a Volkswagen. How appropos for a modern-day flower child. The Everyday Angels for their unconditional love for Jewel. So many artists out there would kill or die for this much support. I hope you guys never lose your sense of purpose, because the network would be worse for it. - -- And Helen, you won't be alone on the net during the holidays.

Well, my advice is dress warmly... It's freezing up here right now! Wow, that's a lot of people. If you guys buy enough down here maybe you can single handidly turn our crappy economy around!! There will be 4 record stores all 5 minutes away from each other that you can take a look in. Sunrise Records, HMV, Sams, and Tower Records. There are a few small little stores about 10 - 15 minutes away that have a lot of hard to find CD's but I don't think you will be able to fit 224 people into. It might even be cheaper to buy U.S CD's down here. Remember one of your dollars is worth over $1.30 here. Have Fun!!!

ALSO If I heard correctly, which I probably did, for some reason Y107 is also giving away tickets to the KROQ Acoustic Christmas, except that they call it just "Acoustic Christmas" without the KROQ in front of it--so put one radio on 106.7 and another on 107.1 and keep a phone handy....

Andrew Vernon lives in Alabama, I guess, right? A couple of years ago I was in Mobile, Alabama, on vacation; first, we went to Bellingrath Gardens just outside Mobile; I did one of the dumbest things I ever did: it was pouring rain and I wanted to go back to the car to get a jacket to put on. I got my jacket, closed the trunk, and then realized that the keys were in the trunk! *%^$@#!!!! Anyway, we had to call AAA and stuff and then everything was OK. Then we went to the USS Alabama..that was AWESOME!! I guess that's where the movie 'Under Siege' was filmed. We climbed all up and down the ship and my dad and I went crazy with the camera. Now, whenever we have to write essays for AP Spanish, we have to include a photo with our essay, so I always try to include something either about the Navy or something else that's related..

At our school, we have no homecoming dance; we have about 1700 kids and a football team that was kinda bad this year (our football team hasn't been really good since the '60s). We do have a homecoming game, but "due to low attendance at the homecoming dance," they merged homecoming with the winter ball, which I guess is next Friday. >I didn't do too well in High School. It's not that I didn't have friends, but >that I had friends that felt compelled to be nice to me, or else I'd hurt >them. Seriously, many people at my school were afraid of me. My problem is that people take me too seriously; people say I'm smart and stuff and it kinda makes me feel overrated; I like to joke around and everybody takes what I say so seriously!

Last night somebody got shot at a gas station across the street from the Best Buy in Fullerton, CA where I usually buy most of my music; I guess these undercover Anaheim policemen surrounded this wanted man's truck and shot him and killed him....by the law of averages, I guess nobody will get shot around there for a long time so it's a safe place to go. It was kinda windy today. I guess it's about 70 degrees right now, 6:30PM. (For all you non-US EDAs, that's about 21 degrees Celsius) They're tearing down half of Anaheim Stadium, home of the Angels but not home of the EveryDay Angels. Passed by it the other day, it looks kinda neat how you can see the inside from the outside now. They are making it smaller, from 68,000 to about 30,000. They have a new look next year; everything at the Angels Clubhouse store was drastically reduced for clearance....The Disney Company has totally ruined the team--I haven't gone to an Angels game in a long time and I don't plan to, either...

Well this might have been the MOST inane post ever written... Oh, here's a question: anyone seen the movie 'Jude' yet? Been released in the states? If you like Kate Winslet it's a real treat. She's just marvellous. If you don't like films that leave absolutely emotionally drained, then this is not the film for you. Hey, how about a review....can I do that? OK, I promise it will be short - but this is perhaps the BEST film I've ever seen. OK. So if you're not interested, this is the moment to opt out... JUDE - starring Christopher Eccleston (what a man!) and Kate Winslet. Based on Thomas Hardy's controversial novel, Jude the Obscure (which I have never read but plan to now), Jude is set in 1890's England and centres around the life of Jude Hawley (sp?) who from boyhood has longed to lift himself out of his poor, farming life into the rich life of being a scholar. As a young man he studies hard working his way through the classics and becomes known as something of a poet around his home.Before he manages to get to university in the fictional town of Christminster he falls into a passionate affair with Arabella, country wench and daughter of a pig farmer (Australia's own Rachel Griffiths). In her oh so earthy way she seduces him in a barn one night and in the blink of an eye marries her "in haste". Jude soon realises his mistake in marrying the cold hearted farm girl, as does she, and they go their separate ways with a short note from Arabella claiming that her pregnancy was a phantom one. Jude heads for Christminster in search of entrance to university but before he gets there, he falls in love again, this time with is cousin, Sue Bridehead (kate Winslet). The two become wonderful friends but Jude keeps his love a secret, only to find himself in the devastating position of giving her away when she decides to marry his former teacher, Phillotson. It is clear that Phillotson is wrong for her but she does it anyway. Jude is heartbroken but goes on with his life, his dreams. He does not achieve a place in the university. It seems that nothing can go right for him but he is stoic throughout. Before too long, Phillotson is forced to admit that he and Sue are mismatched and he gives her up to Jude when Sue finally admits her love is for Jude afterall, and not the man she married. This takes us into the main body of the film and this is the point where I could give away what happens as one Canberra reviewer did. Fortunately I read the review after I saw the film. I won't do that. Suffice to say that throughout the troubled life Jude and Sue share, which sees them start a family and go from town to town in search of peace when no one will accept them due to their unmarried state, a tragedy occurs in one shocking scene which left me absolutely horrified and shaken. It is, I think, the most painful moment I have ever experienced in a film and it changes everything for Jude and Sue. In the end there is hope. I saw Christopher Eccleston interviewed and he said that Jude is man who will not be broken. Although you might come out of this film wondering where the hope lies, when you think about it, his words are an excellent expression of what is at the heart of the film. A man's refusal to be broken. I was moved beyond words. Oh and the soundtrack is also amazing. Not to mention the cinematography. This is no pretty Merchant Ivory film. This is the heart of working class England at the end of the 19th Century. I give this movie *****. (out of a possible 5) Thanks for bearing with me if you read all this. I'm glad I did this now. GO AND SEE THIS FILM!
