Geeze, it's been a while. I've been mostly occupied with band crap, which has seen me turn in early every evening for long deep sleeps that leave me refreshed and alert in the morning. I'm currently living a very satisfying existence.
Tonight I'm hopefully going to find out whether or not we will be able to do a 2-week US/Canada tour in the second half of August. I'm crossing my fingers and so is the rest of the band.
We're currently wrapping up an interview that will be featured in Maximumrocknroll a few months from now. It's working out extremely well; we have a hell of a lot to say and I'm sure most readers will find it quite interesting. A lot of band interviews are so boring, and I'm not being egotistical because a lot of the blame should be applied to the interviewer. It's his/her job to drag out the points of interest and have them expanded on.
I've been working in the ICU and IICU of a downtown hospital the last couple of weeks. Don, the fellow I provide homecare for, had intestinal complications that had to be surgically dealt with, and simultaneously had a recurrance of pneumonia. Now that he has recovered from the surgery, I hope he can get off the machine and start breathing on his own. With those tubes down his throat he isn't able to talk so it's been pretty frustrating for him and his homecare workers.
I would also like to see Don healthy soon so he can be enjoying life when I have to either drop most of my shifts, or leave the position entirely in a few months. It's not a sure thing, but if my band tours, and if I decide to take the fulltime professional photography course I've been looking at, we're going to have to find a replacement for me. Doing that while Don can't talk or is in the hospital is not a good thing. It would be best if he were healthy and able to efficiently communicate and ease the new worker into the routines which might seem simple at first but require a lot of intuition and attention to detail, especially when circumstances change and a barrier of communication is erected.
Radio show tonight. Should be a fun one. Pretty much a free-for-all. I'm going to preview a demo and a release by two Saskatchewan bands that absolutely rip. Destined For Assimilation and Poser Disposer. They share some band members.
Oh yeah, one more thing before I sign off. I had an interesting time with my parents on Saturday. I was driving around rural Manitoba near our hometown assisting highschool graduation photographs. Props go out to the guy who rented the white pimp daddy tux, complete with tophat and cane. You stole the show.
