Didn't really accomplish anything today at all, but I guess that's ok. It's Sunday, right?

I went to dinner with my sis. It was nice. We bitched about our jobs & talked about family stuff. Christmas & Thanksgiving & what's going on and stuff. No biggie. She actually had a gift for me, it was a painting done by Michael Birawer. He's done a...

Thought Modest Mouse kinda sucked on SNL. Second song sounded outta tune. Plus, what was with the guy with the maraccas?

Still, good for them to get on SNL.

If I was any more bored, I think I'd be dead. Right now, I'm watching reruns of America's Funniest Home Video's cuz it's the only thing on (I don't have cable & I'm sick of my DVD's). I know there's not an excuse for this, but with the sound off, some of that shit is funny. I still plan to discipline myself later for watching...

I read an article a couple of years ago about "Functional Alcoholism" & I'm pretty sure I totally have that. I drink a lot, but it hasn't yet taken over my life.

Basically, I'm a drunk, but it doesn't/hasn't affected my everyday life yet. I wouldn't say I'm a complete drunk cuz I don't drink every day, or even every other day for that matter....

Home sick again today. Feel worse than yesterday. Voice sounds sexy cuz it's sooooo deep. Would be cooler if I didn't sound so nasal cuz of my stupid sinus's. Dammit!

Went to see The Futureheads last night & it was fantastic. So high energy & tight. Very, very good show. Only problem was that no one was there. Only about 100 people? Lotsa people were...

Home 'sick' today. Not really sick, but getting there. Mostly just a head cold, but I'm also getting the chest crap that makes it hurt when you cough. Just took some NyQuil, so I'll be crashing soon. I'd kill for a cough drop right now. I finished them last night & I'm too lazy to go out & get more.

Pixies last night were very...

I never really know what to write in these things. I've never really kept a journal or anything...

Today, I thought it would be cool to get a Grain Belt logo tattoo over my liver.

Urgh, I'm getting a cold. The only thing good about that is I can take NyQuil & not feel guilty. That stuff is great! Never fails to knock me out...

How can Bush be in this election at all? I can see Texas, but any other state? I mean, at every show I've been to in the last 6 months, the performers have basically said (or bluntly said) 'Fuck Bush'. Do these people just not vote? Do all these people just figure that the rest of America will realize what's wrong and vote correctly? Are...

So, I was just informed by my sister that First Avenue has closed indefinitely due to bankruptcy of the owner. From what I've read, there are plans in place for the former managers Steve McCellan (sp?) & the other guy whose name I can't remember to reopen it. All the shows are in the process of being moved to new venues.

Guh, this fucking sucks....

So I finally bought Pink Flag by Wire & I'm listening to it right now. So far, I am very impressed with the straightforwardness of everything, but some of the songs are too short! I'm not into 10 minute epics, but I guess I do like the typical vs chorus vs style of songwriting. It seems to be there sometimes, but other times a song...
