Day Off and Underrated Musician

Today was a day off for me, so I picked up my check, deposited it, went to the library (one of my most FAVORITE places on earth), bought some new socks, made a payment on my college loan, and did some housework.

I've started reading my way through Madeline L'Engle's Time Quartet, starting the first book, A Wrinkle In Time. For those of you who've never read this book, I can't say enough about it. It's got science fiction elements to it, but it's not all about robots and spaceships.

For my underrated music pick, I decided to go with a guy that I was introduced to by the Disney movie "Enchanted". His name is Jon McLaughlin and if you've seen the movie, he was the guy that was singing the song in the ballroom when Giselle and Robert are dancing at the King and Queen's Ball. He plays the piano and writes his own material, which I highly respect and his first single, "Beautiful Disaster", talks about how the media expects girls to change and be things that they're not, a topic that not many people talk about so he gets brownie points from me for that. In my music, I like it to either make me feel good, or have something to say and Jon's music does that for me.

When I originally commented I clicked the "Notify me when new comments are added" checkbox and
now each time a comment is added I get three e-mails with the same comment.
Is there any way you can remove me from that service? Many thanks!

Its like you read my mind! You seem to know so much about this, like you
wrote the book in it or something. I think that
you could do with some pics to drive the message
home a little bit, but instead of that, this is magnificent blog.
A great read. I will definitely be back.
