Thanks to my SG homies for a damn fine time bowling last night - it got me out of my doldrums quite nicely, and opening above 140 didn't hurt, either...
So right after my last post, which indicated my generally dour mod recently, my bike was stolen. Stolen from a "secure" courtyard area at my friend's apartment. There were a bunch of bike sitting around,...

Feeling very antisocial these days. Don't talk to me.
Funny thing about weekends when you're unemployed... They don't mean quite so much, except you get to hang out with your workin' friends.
-Primus, "Spaghetti Western"
The same would be true of working at home. I spent three days at my new job in an office right downtown and already I'm appreciating the coming of the weekend much more than I was before.

Dude, you get a high five for getting out of there. Michael was pretty great, even though he liked to turn a blind eye to anything remotely uncomfortable, and there a few of the booksellers I liked a whole lot . . . but man, Deb. She was a black pit of evil. I bet she still uses that fucking crutch.
You commute to work now! Eat it!

I guess I'll go up to Grand Rapids for my birthday... I need to get away for just a few and get my shit together. I've been offered this cool job that's a much better position and I'd make a little more $$, but the job I have now is quite swank and I don't know if I should leave. I think it's mainly a...

Well, I already told you that I would always err on the side of laziness. But I'm no model to follow, that's for sure!
Bah, I must shut up and drink more scotch....

happy b-day
The aftermath: apparently more than 30 of our friends couldn't get into the show last Friday, and I think we had more people in the room than the headliner. It was a good night, for sure.
We've got two live tracks from the show on our site as well as material from the EP. Check 'em out. Sorry the samples are MP3s - working on...

Damn. Almost a month. That sucked. Ah, well - back on track. Bowling with the Chicago SG faction last night helped. I actually won the second game - 152! I think Slats got some good pics, too.

is riviera named for peter riviera of neuromancer, or is 'reitoei' the only gibson allusion?
Internet connection is down. Funds are low. Might not be on much for a while. When will we be bowling again?
In lieu of the cable modem, it'd be neat to see you at a Riviera show... (that's 'Riviera' - not 'Rivera' as mentioned in the SunTimes yesterday, and not 'Rivieria' as on the board for tonight's show. Yeesh.)

Fell down some stairs yesterday - stupid rain... This shit always hurts more the second day, you know? Not to mention my worse-than-my-typically-lousy sleep last night.
I've been having big fun with Apple's new iTunes Music Service... Damn, is that sweet. iTunes 4 is the bomb diggety, too - if you'd like to listen to my music library through iTunes 4, send...

Yes, I'm still up to Lounge Arcade. The next one is a week from Monday in fact and the first party where i will be assuming DJ duties along with my friend and Halcyon co-owner. I'm quite amped for the whole thing in fact.
I hope I'm still in NYC when you get out - its fun showing people around and it would be cool to meet you. I just am not quite sure whether or not I will be around. But, boy, I've said *that* before so you never know. Chances are I will be. I am hoping for westward movement at some point though.
What do I read next? OK besides the new Hunter Thompson book. Yearghhh...

Wow - it's 5:30 and I'm still not asleep... Had a good show tonight; just dumped it onto my hd and there might be a tune in there worthy of the web site... we'll see. rockingmikeHunt was there, and I think a good time was had by all.
I got a Game Boy Advance SP this weekend

Yay - another quality Easter weekend in good old Grand Rapids.
Pic #1 shows my sister and myself at brunch... The Chicago SG contingent may notice that I'm no longer capable of the badass afro. It was tough, but this is really better for the summer.
Pic #2 shows me enjoying a ride on my dad's Segway - man, is that ever wild. Technology is...

I can't decide if I love the Segway or despise it. Kind of like STARSHIP TROOPERS.

i m very jealous of your Segway riding bad self.
"Pattern Recognition" kicks ass. Real leap for 'im i think. Some of the 9/11 images really hit me hard.
You shoulda gone cornrows dude...

So if he's got six fingers, how does he flip someone the bird?
