Last night I went to see Old Crow Medicine Show (OCMS) with a bunch of friends. I found out about OCMS about five years ago when my friend Morgan mentioned in one of his emails that he was playing with a new band in Nashville (he plays upright base). Since then, they have really taken off and are on their way to world domination (I firmly believe). I saw them play in LA to a relatively small crown back in 2004, but last night's show was sold out and the crowd absolutely loved them. If you get a chance, check them out. I have yet to meet someone who didn't like at least some of their songs. Their most popular track to date is called "Wagon Wheel".

It was tons of fun seeing them again!

i went out for a night on the town on friday for a friend's birthday. i knew most of the people there, but there were a few new faces. one in particular caught my eye, a very nice looking guy. we got to talking, and it was easy and fun. after a while i asked someone about him only to discover that he has a girlfriend. fine, i back off. i talked to a lot of other people (we were at a big, crowded bar, so no problem with that). a couple of hours later i find myself next to the first dude. now, i may be out of practice, but i know enough to know when someone is flirting with me, and he certainly was. buys me a drink, asks me all kinds of questions, gives me his freaking business card! never once does he mention the little woman, if i hadn't asked about it i never would have known. i ended the night confused, annoyed and hopelessly smitten. i don't expect every guy i find attractive to fall for me, but it really felt like he was interested. even so, i refuse to be that girl who knowingly goes after a guy already involved with someone else. stupid men.

Homework. That's what I have been doing. This weekend i'm going white water rafting. Check out the post from last September to find out what I'm potentially in for. Hopefully I'll make it through to tell the tale.

The first week of classes went off without a hitch. In addition to my classes, I was in the spotlight for our group meeting. I had to give a run down of some of the work I had done this summer and then try to sum up some research I had done to motivate a new project. I think it went fairly well, my adviser said he was pleased.

Today is beach day at our adviser's house. His wife (who also works in the department), invited us over for late lunch and beach fun. I am really looking forward to seeing the two of them in an "outside work" situation.

Next week we'll add to my responsibilities with the classes I TA starting. Looking forward to it!
