I fear it may already be happening, because I'm not entirely certain what my focus is here. It's challenging to write anything when you're not sure what to write about. But alas, I'm sure you'll bear with me while I get it all sorted.  I promise that eventually I'll rediscover my voice and you'll come to appreciate my irreverent (usually), quirky (certainly), &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;titillating&lt;/span&gt; (&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;occasionally&lt;/span&gt;), rambling (oft), self-effacing (you think?), enlightening (if you're lucky) and engaging (if you're as bored as I am) &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;drivel&lt;/span&gt;. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, what might you expect to find here?  Well, anything I feel like, really (I'm as self-important as the next blogger, &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;after all&lt;/span&gt;): concert, album and song reviews, pop-culture commentary, random bitching and/or delighting about work, friends, family and life in general.  Maybe you'll even see the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;occasional&lt;/span&gt; poem (haven't hashed one of those out in a while), short story, or if it's a particularly pathetic post - a press release, biography, or fact sheet that I'm really &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" onclick="BLOG_clickHandler(this)"&gt;freakin&lt;/span&gt;' proud of - I am a &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"&gt;publicist&lt;/span&gt; after all. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And with that, gentle reader, I conclude my premiere post for the Aural Gratification blog.  It's time to go determine which b-list celebrities we're going to bribe with free laptops if they agree to show up to a gifting suite in LA (while the a-&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7" onclick="BLOG_clickHandler(this)"&gt;listers&lt;/span&gt; are all hamming it up at &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8" onclick="BLOG_clickHandler(this)"&gt;Sundance&lt;/span&gt;) in hopes of getting our client some cheap tabloid press - god, I love my job!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Stay tuned...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1549665381847547041-1945425110016502146?l=aural-gratification.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aural-gratification.blogspot.com/feeds/1945425110016502146/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1549665381847547041&amp;postID=1945425110016502146' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1549665381847547041/posts/default/1945425110016502146'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1549665381847547041/posts/default/1945425110016502146'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aural-gratification.blogspot.com/2006/12/no-work-and-little-play-makes-deana.html' title='No work, and a little play, makes Deana a less dull girl'/><author><name>D/NA</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05302996183463708628</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
