things are slowly looking up.

* the Duckling is an adorable teeny bundle of awesome. snorgly, playful, purry like whoa... and when those big gray eyes look directly into mine, i go all mushy. he's such a love. :)

* a couple of orders have come in this week, for the exact hoop designs and sizes i made and couldn't sell at world cafe live. whew!

*waaaaahhhhhhh*...

oh, i am BEYOND bummed. i was thiiiisclose to seeing guy sebastian in concert this weekend, and he CANCELLED. gah! i've been waiting 6 years to see him perform, and he was scheduled to be part of the lineup for the XPN festival this weekend... i just checked the website and he's not on the roster anymore. seriously, i could cry.

if you haven't heard of guy sebastian, he was the winner of "australian idol" in, i think, 2002. i saw him compete on "world idol" in 2003, and my jaw dropped when i heard him sing "what a wonderful world"... i can't stand that song, but he's the only person who's ever made me like it. i just feel so funky and uplifted when i hear him sing.

here's his world idol performance so you can see for yourself:

*waaaaaahhhhhh*!!! guy, come back to philly!!!!
