ugh, work has been long and annoying these past couple of weeks. busy busy busy for a few hours, then totally dead for a few more. the best shift so far was actually a 2-5 a.m. overnighter, because it was both over the course of hours that i am usually awake, AND we were busy the entire time setting up a huge show.

there's a discussion on a forum i'm on about the greatest music videos. paul simon's "you can call me al" was nominated, and though i could very happily agree, i could never get this particular video out of my head - gary young's "plantman".

Paul Simon? Wow, that forum sounds pretty old school, I'D DIG IT! Send me the link!
I'm still in love with The Talkin Heads' "Once in a Lifetime" video. David Byrne had me in a trance.

there are some bands that i love now that i wish i had known about way back when i started getting into music. i wonder how my life would have turned out if i had listened to nick cave and the pogues while i was so young and impressionable.
until recently i never realized that behind those drunk eyes and crazy teeth, shane macgowan had...

it is absolutely ridiculous how much I want to see NIck play...I haven't gotten the chance.
and given that he is hardly EVER in the states I don't kow if I ever will
"Boatmans Call" is probably my favorite Nick record. it has gotten me through some times....and reminds me of certain relationships as well.
"Murder Ballads" is a close second.
although I fucking LOVE "let love in"...
it's hard to pick. nick is my man. if I died and was resurrected and couldn't be brought back as myself, he'd be my 2nd or third chice

Glad to see your not gray anymore. Looked this morning and saw another friend go gray and said noooo not again. I have had too many friends go gray lately.. Don't know if anyone else noticed but I sure did.

congratulations to FC United of Manchester on a fantastic first season, on both being promoted AND winning the league. it's not over just yet, but they have pretty much done it all. with class. i only wish i could have been there through the entirety of the season to see it. 
it became hot as baaallllls today after work and the a/c in our house is broken, so after my nap (complete with hot weather-induced weird dreams), i got to doing my weight-training for my arms. that got me sweating and into the workout, so i decided not to take the night off from the elliptical and have another go at the Star Trek Basement Gym....

That's one of my favorite quotes from Star Trek. I think I own pretty much every episode on tape. You're even cooler than I thought!

I wish I could avoid the drama in the groups. Unfortunately everything I say seems to offend people. I honestly don't mean to be insulting and it's really starting to stress me out. I guess next time they react to me that way I'll try and ignore it altogether. Take care (to avoid Romulan space)! hehe. Cheers.

while living under my parents' roof, they kind of forbade me to get any pets, so i got a few awesome little houseplants. they're doing just fine and i love them, but they aren't fuzzy.
i made the mistake (always a mistake) of going to the pet store for my dad to get a new bed and treats for our dog, who is now a...

That's a cute little rodent you got there. Hi I'm Vito, a fellow Sicklervillian, Sicklerviller.... let's just say we live in the same town.
if/when i ever join a band again, we would have to cover the jam's "down in the tube station".
no compromises.

i upped my elliptical program tonight to the next level. same time: 20 minutes, but more fluctuating between harder resistances. then i did 5 minutes of cool-down on a pulse-control program. i felt like i could go on a lot longer, but i don't want to overdo it (though at this point, i've no clue what 'overdoing it' means for me). it also helped that...

woo hoo you're back! me and the other guitar player might do a little show on tuesday... maybe. i used to be able to do 60 sit-ups in a minute. i'd like to think i wouldn't shit myself trying it now.
sculptor666:
birds. ack! how long 'till you're back in the area? we should play with plaster and alginate and you should play drums and eat burritos and stuff.
so to those who haven't heard from me tonight, it has been a great day. kevin took me out to a wonderful japanese restaurant where we had lots of sapporo, sushi, and sashimi with banana tempura and chocolate spring rolls for dessert. in between dinner and dessert, he got out of his chair, got down on one knee, took out the ring we picked out...

not sure why i never heard about this LAST year, but the 28th of this month is Pancake Day. i'd always known it as Mardi Gras, but a day for eating pancakes instead of showing off my boobies for cheap beads is okay with me. they put lemon juice and sugar onto the pancakes here, which sounded weird to me. we made some yesterday (as...
