So the gig was pretty cool. I left work on Sunday, met up with the band straight away, got changed, loaded the cars with our gear and then set off on the 3 hour drive to the hotel. Checked in and then set off to find the venue, which took a while-- Sat Nav is great for sweeping drives across the nation, but not so...

At a different uncles funeral they played the Beach Boys, which actually made me cry more. I think your friend might be onto something. 
My body is a mess.
So this cold I've had started as a touch of a sore throat on Sunday. By Monday, the sore throat had gone and it had gone to my nose. By Wednesday, my nose was basically fine and I'd developed a tickly cough... It's like a cold in stages.
Added to that, I fell asleep on the couch for a bit...

I've got a cold right now myself. I was feeling fine, just a runny nose and I woke up thismorning sneezin like crazy and now I'm coughing. I am seriously thinking about calling out from work.

You shouldn't drink liquids a couple hours before bed. It helps.
Getting out of bed is always the worst part of my day. If I make it up without falling down or running into something I'm doing good. Which is rare.

Today was my first of three days off work this week.
Inevitably, working shifts and under a fair amount of stress, I appear to have picked up the beginnings of a cold, but it wasn't enough to spoil an otherwise productive day.
As planned, I spent about 3 hours studying bass lines from John Legend's first album. For a man that plays keys, his songs...

It's come to my attention that last week's syncope and a random fit of inexplicable sobbing a little further back are both symptoms of stress. It wouldn't surprise me if I were stressed at the moment, considering the demands of my job, the latent threat of mortal danger to me in the work place, the strains of balancing career prospects against relational commitments, and generally...

Oh, how I fondly remember those days. I think i've been baby powdered on more than one ocassion. Sadly, I think my parents might be up for that more than looking for furniture. Keep in mind dad was a hippy/biker and mom has been confined to the house with domestic duties for the past few years. They're both easily excitable.
If you find any good information on the slave trade in the United Kingdom let me know. I took an American history course this summer that dealth primarily with the states end of it, but I always wondered what happened to the slaves that sided with England during the Revolutionary War.

They had a lightswitch cover as well, but I thought that might be over doing it a bit. I'm trying to keep my toys confined to one area. It's difficult, but I'm managing. Let's hope it never comes down to having to chose between the Garfield phone and my Ninja Turtles. That will be a sad day indeed.
Micturition syncope
It seems that one of the less known causes of someone passing out is urination. This I discovered today after a visit to the local accident and emergency to fix my nose because I fell flat on my face in the toilet.
Before:
(Pardon the poor quality of the photo on account of a head injury)
After:
Suggestions for why Elliott passed out...

The only good scene in this film -
I don't think it's been defined in the dictionary yet. Neither have a lot of other words I use in my daily vocabulary. I'll write a translation pamphlet before christmas to avoid any confusion.
And holy nose injury batman! I had a similar incident happen last fall. Got trashed, went to vomit, somehow slid past the toilet and landed forhead first onto the rim of the bathtub. At least these things make for nice stories, eh?

You're lucky it was just a jewelry item really. I almost fractured my skull on that thing.
And as for good luck charms, sadly i'm a believe too. I've carried a St. Chritopher around for years, since my last bad car wreck. Haven't been injured in an accident since. And actually got a nice settlement from someone hitting my car in a parking lot last year.

Eee! I have a name badge and nearly have my airside pass-- I'm almost a fully fledged (temporary) member of staff! 
The weirdest thing is that hardly any members of the public have spoken to me when I've been in my uniform, but as soon as I put my badge on today, people started asking me all kinds of things, all of which had nothing...

That's the Market St. Waffle House you're talking about!! When I worked at WH I worked at the one on the other side of town, but I've worked at that one before and I actually ate there the other night! It's not too far from my house actually!

That's so crazy!! Yea, It's like 5 minutes to UNCW from my house, if that much. Where did you end up finding a room at? Please don't say Motel 6.. haha
So the Jazz Festival job was pretty good. I got one lump of money for helping organise it and another for running the PA for it. In theory I should be loaded now, but somehow I'm not. This may be in no small part because Mrs. Lego came over and that girl costs mah-oney... We hung out in London for a long weekend and then...

Eesh, it's been a while since I updated. Again.
Officially I'm still unemployed. Unofficially, I've been working for a recording studio/ publishing company and organising a jazz festival. It's brought in a few pennies here and there too, which is nice.
Mrs. Lego is coming over on Friday for about 3 weeks. We're hanging out in London for a long weekend, then heading off to...

Seeing jazz live is always amazing. Some of my favorite concerts have been Jazz shows.

I was given a ticket to see a band I'd never heard before last night-- the Pipettes.
They owe a lot to Motown, the Shangrilas, etc., both in their music and in their being a girlie trio with dance moves, but their band also has a punk/ska edge. Pretty cool. Honestly, I probably wouldn't listen to the CD (taking a glance at my burgeoning collection,...

Yea, spring break is a terrible terrible time. John Travolta spent a lot of time here while he was filming Domestic Disturbance here. While they were filming it, Vince Vaughn and Steve Buscemi got into a crucial bar fight at my bar (firebelly) and Buscemi got stabbed in the neck. There's a lot of movies and stuff filmed here and its cool sometimes except when they have half of downtown closed off and I have to go to school.
Oh ya.. and I loooove the phone.. lol

NC was great. Mrs. Lego picked me up from the airport looking The Shit. I could feel just about everyone in the room turn to look at her as she came to meet me. It probably reveals some deep insecurity about me, but it felt pretty damn good. After taking me home to drop off my bags and Get Settled, she took me...
