I've been busy with work too much lately. I've also been pretty happy with some new music and stuff that is coming out soon. The Yo La Tengo compilation CD is great and so is the reissue of Unrest's Imperial F.F.R.R. I missed that one the first time around. I always get these ideas for mix tapes that I never ever make or come up...

All I did today was sleep and watch the NCAA basketball tournament. I don't follow college basketball too much during the regular season, but when March Madness starts, my butt is parked in front of the TV. I'm going to bed now dreaming of Apnea's new photo set. Hot.

It's St. Patrick's Day. I'm part Irish and I don't care all that much. I find it funny how everyone wants to be Irish. When I went to England last year, the first thing my uncle asked me was if I went to Ireland. When I told him I didn't, he made it seem like the whole trip was a waste of time. I would...

I went shopping for some new jeans tonight. One of my old pair has some nasty holes in them and are soon to be retired from active wear. The store didn't have the style I was looking for in the size I wanted, so I'm going to the mall this weekend. Yippee. I should be getting the new Yo La Tengo 3 x CD any...

New Zealand was pretty neat. Some friends of mine had been on vacation down there since December and I met up with them in Auckland for their last week. It was so warm and sunny there. We saw the crap out of the city. Now I'm back in the cold with a minor cold. The price of travel.

One day of work this week and then it is off to New Zealand for a week. My boss is giving me a full two weeks off even though I'm only going to be gone for ten days. I'm happy to be going some place warm.

I'm so sick of work. Weird stuff is going on at the paper. They are changing some things around. Nobody really knows what is going on, not even my boss. Hopefully when it's all done I get put on a salaried position, but I doubt that will happen. It wouldn't surprise me if I didn't have a job to come back to when I get...

I started doing some freelance illustration stuff for a company in Buffalo this last week. I spent all of tonight working on a cartoon for a corporate website. I think it came out pretty shitty. I am so not a cartoonist. I love the comics in the daily paper, but that's not what I do with my art. For some reason people get this impression...

My friend sent me the demo of his band. It isn't very good. I think that they weren't together very long when they recorded it and that is why it isn't so hot. They have been playing out more, so hopefully they have gotten better. The whole "friend's band" situation gets difficult sometimes, especially if they aren't very good. You need to support them because...

My day job is being a photographer for the local newspaper. I had to take pictures of this clown performing at the Catholic school this morning. When I got there he was starting his show. He starts by putting on his make - up and costume in front of the kids so they can see that he is a normal person in a clown costume...
