why can't all hotels give you free wireless internet?? very frustrating how the more expensive hotels nickel and dime you for everything, but the more affordable ones give you free access. i'm in ottawa today, performing tonight with Tamara. i had a very very early flight and pretty much have the entire day to catch up on some sleep (much needed) but i'm having trouble, probably cuz it's the middle of the afternoon, and as tired as I am, my body has decided that it's awake... tho my brain is kinda fried. i'm just gonna take it easy, surf the net. go and eat some indian food. yum!

I'm having difficulty deciding which route to go with the packaging for this new CD. My options are the standard plastic jewel case, or the alternative, the digipak (the paper kind) and there are many reasons to consider one over the other and vice versa. On one hand, I think the Digipak looks cooler... however they are much more expensive to make so the only kind I probably could afford would not have as many "pages" as the standard Jewel case booklet, therefore you wouldn't get as much printed content (for example, with the jewel case you'd get all the song lyrics, with the digipak, you wouldn't.) Then again, digipaks are more environmentally friendly, especially if you get the ones made of all recycled materials.

What matters to you? Having more content (lyrics) or having a snazzy digipak? Do you hate Digipaks cuz they don't fit into the standard CD tower? Do you not care either way because you just transfer your CDs to your iPod and then chuck out the packaging? let me know.... email me!

thanks,
