Wait, what's this I hear? The Democrats have taken back the House of Representatives? And with one Senate race as yet undecided, it's 50-49 Democrats, with a good possibility of the last race being called to make it 51-49? Is that the sound of some semblance of sanity and humanity returning to American politics??
WOOHOO!
So, President Bush, what do you have to say about...

Probably a more substantive post later. Woooooo In Flames and Bodom!

Last night was amusing. 
Went to someone's birthday party last night. Someone had given her some weird strip drinking game--ended up being me and 5 girls (all very attractive, I might add) playing. Let's just say that I won by a landslide. 
Ended up going out with them afterward, despite how drunk some of them were at this point. I spent most of the time...

sounds like you're having fun across the pond there.
Aside from being a little under the weather, Cardiff is still treating me pretty well. =) I found out that I get paid in advance, 3 months at a time, which means I'm about to get a very hefty check. Not sure exactly how much it'll be for, but it'll certainly be enough to pay the bills that need paid, and puts less of...

Let us think the unthinkable, let us do the undoable. Let us prepare to grapple with the ineffable itself, and see if we may not eff it after all!

So, of course, there's a girl. Have her number and a tentative agreement for a date. Tentative, because she's been at the "we need to talk" stage with her (for lack of a better word) ex-boyfriend for about a month. The date is pending the outcome of said talking. However, my hope is that her agreement bodes well, and may perhaps speed along the process....

Sounds like you are assimilating to the new environment quite nicely there. Good luck with the girl there.
On my end I'm being all insecure about my girl situation. She told me she was going to be pretty busy for a while, and our schedules create a logistical nightmare in general, so I get the whole wondering if I'm on her mind all the time and that going through my head.
In all truthfulness I've been VERY succesful with her up until this point. I just hope it'll develop into something solid.

The weather here has been beautiful up to now. I think it was lulling me into a false sense of security. It's not quite as nice today, so I check the weather report and this is what I see. /cry
Welcome to Cardiff, indeed!

that's what normally passes for a British summer
Time for that more substantive update.
As mentioned, I've now moved to Wales. The trip went surprisingly smoothly, and though it was very long (total travel time from leaving home until getting to my flat in Cardiff was 22 hours), subsequent trips won't be quite as arduous. In theory, anyway.
I may have up to 4 flatmates, but so far only two have showed up....

Yeah... a couple things ended up coming through for me here in LA. Sounds like you're all prepared to live it up across the drink there. Good luck. From one music fan to another, trust me I know how easy it is to go broke trying to catch shows. Luckily my current work schedule helps eliminate the possibility of me trying to go to a decent percentage of gigs I'd be trying to catch otherwise.
As far as the girl is concerned, it's new, it's nice, and for once she seems as into me as I am into her. We'll see how this goes.

Yeah, it took me a long while to get into 10,000 Days, but it finally clicked after the 30th or so listen... (I'm dedicated, what can I say, eh?) It has such a totally different vibe. I think they called it their "blues" album, which kinda makes sense, after a fashion. It's basically Tool doing what Tool does best (whatever that may be), without apology or explanation.
Okay, so maybe I did drop off the face of the earth for a while.
But, I'm back!!
Not only am I back... but I've moved to Cardiff, Wales!
A more substantive update to come within the next day or two, I would imagine, but for now there's a castle that I desire to see, that is a short walk from here. After that... well......

ok, not enough people active in the UpstateSGNY Group for my liking so i'm going around letting people know that there are new members to the group who would feel more welcome if they actually got a few "welcomes."
also, i'm trying to get a darien lake event around for end of aug/beginning of sept possibly. check out the thread in the group for more info and let me know what you think.

ps: WoW is the devil... i'm impressed because i haven't logged onto my character all day today... lol

Ever feel like your life is in a holding pattern? That you're not really getting anything done, either going forward or sliding backwards?
It's weird leaving behind everything and everyone you know to go live and work in a place that you're only going to be in for a year--what is now only a few months. At this point, in only said few months, I'm...

I know how it feels. Not necessarily trhe case for me right now, but you know how I was back in Toledo.
The kids from Ithaca are'nt from the site. I worked with a couple of them on a movie last year and then hung out with a bunch of them out here for their intern program.

Do you, perchance, have Tool tickets for the CIA?
