Two more days until I head home for vacation and birthdday celebrations.
This year will be the first time I've spent a birthday with my family and friends from back home since I turned 17. I'm turning 28 next week, to help give you some sort of perspective as to why this is a big deal.
I left Staten Island a pathetic skinny geek. I return a skinny geek, but considerably less pathetic.
On Sunday will the birthday BBQ, graciously hosted by my mom.
Then on Wednesday will be the Birthday Bar Crawl with my bestest friends in the whole world, drunken bastards that they are.
Somewhere along the way I am going to fit in much stuffing of pizza in my face, and get started on my screenplay. Maybe my Spidey script too, if my Editor gives me the thumbs-up on the revisions I made to my outline this week.
Then, back to LA for another week off to hang out with my mom, who is paying her first visit to Los Angeles in six years. She's gonna help me get some new furniture for my pad, because the Ikea crap I got when I was just out of college and needed furniture is starting to fall apart.
And then September begins the awesome month of shows.
Beastie Boys in September.
Against Me! in October.
Hot Water Music two nights in October.
And hopefully since Flogging Molly has a new album coming out, they'll tour and I can take Joolie, since she's never seen them before.
And my pal Joey is going to try and get us tickets for Green Day at the Fonda in September this weekend. I am going to feel very old at that show.
I am recoveriing nicely from my illness. The sores around my throat are starting to go away, and the gland in my neck is starting to de-swell.
Ok enough talk. Time for "Futurama" season 4 DVD and some Ali G season 1.
Respec'!

I am about to head back to the South, retrieve my stuff from storage, and drive it across country to my new pad. Then I have a spot of work right when I return, but a housewarming will follow ASAP afterwards - details to follow.
Safe travels and cheers!
