After watching some flagging videos on youtube, and finding a website with instructions on how to make said flags, I decided I would make myself some. These flags don't have rigid handles, but rather are weighted along 2 edges. I bought some cloth and weighted cord and now just need to cut and sew things together. I suppose if I sewed one with weights along all edges, I might be able to spin it with my finger in the center... I remember once seeing someone spin a piece of fabric around with just their hand in the middle, and was amazed and wondered how they did it. But I will try the regular flags first.

I bought a fresh sapodilla fruit (also known as neese-berry) from a west indian/oriental store. It looks somewhat like a potato or large kiwi fruit. It needs a few days to ripen. I also bought some frozen turrones, banana and jackfruit-filled fritters. I baked a couple, and they taste good.

I also picked up a copy of one of our free local papers at the store, and was leafing through it... in the concert section, it says that Boy George will be performing in Myrtle Beach and Atlanta in the near future!!! I need verify and see if I can get tickets; I hope the gigs don't get cancelled, as often happens. I also came across a personal ad that says "ISO a female, 30-52, independent, preferably sane, ... " LOL!

I also leafed through the real estate ads... and remembered how I used to feel skimming through them, imagining what it would be like to buy and own my own piece of property. And now I have my own. Well, I didn't buy a thousand-acre tract of forest-land out in the country somewhere, but this house is much more practical.

oh wow!

Boy George is scheduled to perform in Myrtle Beach on July 29, 2008.

It was July 25, 1998 that I went to my first Culture Club concert in Charlotte. Almost exactly a decade ago. It was a very special experience... Starting with the "Behind the Music" episode on Boy George and Culture Club early in 1998, I became enraptured by them, and the concert didn't disappoint me any. There was something about the love-hate relationship between Jon Moss and Boy George that was portrayed on Behind the Music, which fascinated me... and George was inherently fascinating all by himself, too.

I'm not enraptured anymore. I hope BG plays some new songs, and not too many of the old ones.. I'm sort of tired of the old ones... all of the ones I'm familiar with are rather old by now, even the ones that were new a decade ago. But still, there is something magical about George, and a concert should be nice. :)
