Coming down off the high of a good gig on Saturday. Entering the trough of drizzly, cold, unemployed winter in San Francisco.

Maybe I'll do some songwriting today instead of burning 6 hours in front of the Xbox. That'd be a change. puke

We had an old friend over for dinner last night. Not "old" as in "like 60", "old" as in "haven't seen her for about eight years". She brought her girlfriend - the two of them just bought a house. I made Long Life noodles and fish, cocktails and tea and mochi. Three hours evaporated, just like that.

I get...

The Iowa caucus and Bush's SotU address have got me thinking. I live in California - SF Bay Area, a fetid breeding ground of liberal pinko creeps like me. confused Out here, it's easy to be critical of George W. and his cronies. It's easy to demonstrate against the Iraq bullshit. It's easy to have hairsplitting arguments about Dean...

renewed activism!!!!!!!!!!! we survived bush senior and reagan puke , so we have to push past (heaven forbid) another term. of course, we may all be in guantanamo, but hopefully not.

hey - i am in the south and even here i can find compatriots who know that the w is a plague on all of our houses. sure, there are people who believe in bush. obviously we have military believers as well. BUT i come from a military family (of liberals) and my roommate from a conservative military family and BOTH agree that george is totally cracked out. there is hope yet.

we just have to work hard to make sure if the worst - reelection - happens that we keep a keen eye on our individual liberties. i was just saying that i've been way to politically passive lately, and this is an bit of inspiration.

sorry to rant as a new visitor, but you really got me thinking. so other than that, just hi. smile

I have been working on the same set of song lyrics for six days now.

SIX.

F@CKING.

DAYS.

It's not even a very long song. Three minutes, maybe. It has a title: Leech. It has a good riff, some fun changes. It gets me all pumped up when we play it. But damned if I can get...

All the procrastination is starting to catch up with me. I'm getting that "time to buckle down" itch in the back of my brain...time to finally make the list, get the shit done, feel like I've accomplished something.

I wonder how much of my mood and motivation is tied to the weather? It's been sunny for...

I'm thinking about procrastination today...the whole phenomenon of putting things off. I've been a procrastinator my whole life, pretty much. Read a bunch of books on stopping it, took the Franklin Planner course a couple times, made resolutions, came up with tricks...

...all to no avail. I've still got a list of activities to complete, hovering in the...

NYE party went off without a hitch, although we lost a few of the regular folks to flu. The virus is super bad this year (in SF Bay area anyway) - it's felled almost all of my close friends. My wife and I are still avoiding it and crossing our fingers.

Anyhow.

The party was a...

Mood: Sick and tired of being sick and tired

Last night's show went off OK. The sound guy was an hour late and then vanished before we went on stage, so the mix was pretty much crap. Too bad, because we played a pretty tight set. Time to invest in our own PA system I guess. Good thing I have this big...
