US News Wrap, September 30 - What Happened Today

News by Stephany Nunneley-Jackson News Editor

Published on Sept. 30, 2011

Many things happened today. Some nice, some not so nice. Well, you all read things on the Internet, I don't need to tell you about it all.

Today is the last day of September, but since I always have to have everything symmetric (I blame that on being a Libra instead of OCD), you have one more day of music headers to finish out your week.

It has been rather hard on me, honestly, choosing which bands or artists to use as I am a fan of so many different genres, tastes, and styles. Granted, as you probably noticed, I gravitate more towards "metal" and "alternative" (does that even hold meaning anymore?) female vocalists. However, if you were to look through my iTunes list or even my Army trunk full of CDs (not to mention my many boxes of cassette tapes, albums, and 45s) you would find anything and everything under the sun.

Music is indeed my first love, and while it has taken a while for it to get here, my piano will finally arrive sometime next week. It's a long story as to why it is not in my possession just yet, but instead of ranting about who is to blame for its absence and why (@#$%ing bastard), let's just say I am pleased as punch I will finally be able to tickle the ivory again, soon. Cross your fingers for me at least. I need some sort of creative outlet in my life, because I can't knit worth a damn.

Now, let's get you caught up on my shift before my RSS feed explodes and I feel compelled to keep working.
