In exactly six days I leave Boston for a six-week, 18-city, 1,750-mile road trip. Should be hella rad, but I'm also a tad nervous.

Huh. Been focusing on the blog -- and a new girlfriend, who looks, eerily, like Penelope. Seems like SG presaged my tastes. Or vice versa. But regardless... mmm. Thanks, all, for whatever clarification I can credit to you.

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!

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.

Soundtrack to my life right now: Cassette Boy, "Di and Dodi Do Die"

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...
