Went to a house party Saturday night. Ran into a woman I'd met during the Somerville Art Beat near the end of July. Turns out we've both been harboring crushes on each other since then -- both thinking we'd never see each other again. Well, I'm super pleased we did. Yay, friends of friends!

I once rode the train four days straight and thought perhaps I might die by the time I arrived at my destination. Never again I say!

Went out last night with friends from work. Got hung up hanging out at Paddy Burke's until 12:30 or so... missing the Tardy show at the Abbey. Had an awkwardly affectionate moment with a friend at the bar, and today she suggested we "just forget it and keep it between you and me." Ouch!

I got cable television last weekend. I've been watching a lot of TV. After three years of not even having local reception, I think I might have to be careful. Last night I watched documentaries about <a href="http://www.cardhouse.com/heath/2002_08_04_archive.html#85326133">hot dogs and covered bridges</a>. I'm becoming an old man!

Lots of friends leaving the place I work at -- some of their own accord, and some against their wishes. It's been a sad week, but I'm still here. It'll certainly be a different place. Sigh.

Firmly ensconced in my new office looking out the window at the changing light on the bricks opposite the back alley. Hauling ass on a book draft that's due at the end of the month -- looks like I secured someone to write the introduction, though... and like I might have secured another book opportunity -- this one rooted in Media Diet!

Good show last night -- lots of people, folks danced on the edge, and the other bands were rock solid. Full review in Media Diet.

I just got an email from an ex-girlfriend chiding me for not getting a physical and "tested" recently. Truth is, I haven't been to a doctor in about six years. It's high time I do so. Appointment to be made...

Sorted boxes of books in my new box hostel. Only lost 40 -- there are a lot of books, so "only" is relative -- books to water damage at the previous box hostel. Paid Joe his 12 of Newcastle and taped up some boxes. Basement fun.

Ran into a friend who just got engaged walking down the bike path to Davis Square. Talked briefly to...

Eating crow and being sheepish today. After watching the first season of Mr. Show last night after work, I went out to see a friend's band play. Stayed out waaay to late. Called an ex before going to bed -- around 1:45 a.m. I am still crushing sooo hard on her despite my best intentions and intuition, and I see just enough hope... while realizing...

A good day. Up and out earlier than usual -- even broke fast at home. Pretty productive day at work, as well as with a new batch of record and zine reviews up at Media Diet. Was kinda worried that a couple of friends would be miffed that I didn't really dig their records, but everything turned out OK in the end. Phew! Traded emails...

:: Have you checked the new Howard comics? I dunno whether they're worth catching up with. ::

Yeah, they're pretty damned good. Fine art by Phil Winslade, as well. The first issue is particularly hilarious, and the rest is an incredible satire of Vertigo comics of the last several years. Dunno if you'll be able to find the individual issues (#6 is due out soon) but there's a collection coming in August.

There's a great interview with Gerber about the whole thing at

Harrumph. Even though I took a little break to go to the post office and get some food for lunch, I've been sitting at this laptop for too long a time today. My eyes are starting to get a little buggy sore. Time to take another break, I think.
