So, as far as the productivity goes...well...not doing near as much as I could, but not totally bombing out either...very emblematic of my life.

I'm slowly doing a revamp of my CD collection--it's one of the only things in my life I keep in order on a regular basis.

Went to Amoeba tonight...always a poor idea. Got a lot of remastered 'special edition' stuff. It's...

So, I was awoken this bright, hot, Friday the 13th at 7:30am with a wicked cramp in my calf. Holy crap, those things hurt. I shot out of bed and into some bizarre quasi-kneeling stretch as the pain all-too-slowly eased. Stupid constricted calf muscle.

Last night however, was quite nice. I was invited by randypants to see him perform his stand-up as part of the...

So, I saw another person on SG with the same Bill the Cat profile pic and well...that's no good. This here profile pic is my symbol of individuality and my belief in personal freedom. Or I'm just nuts...one of the two.

And I can tell by the way you're talking
That the past isn't letting you go
But there's only so long you can take it all on
And then the wrong's gotta be on its own

I met a lot of new friends, several old ones and for once, I don't think I embarrassed myself. Too much. This time. I took most of...

So, tonight friends had an extra ticket to see Alanis and Barenaked Ladies at the Greek. Nellie McKay opened and did a few new songs. Can't wait for the new album.

The Ladies put on a great show I must say. Lots of jokes and reworking their hits and even an honest to god Busby Berkley-style choreographed number with shopping carts.

Alanis was good. She...

Stick around one minute more
I'm smarter than you think
Do I sound like an old bore

Do you have a little time
Would you like to feel sublime
Run away and never stop
Chop your head off
Be a lighter person
Brighter person
Nicer
But you've heard it all before

So ding dong
There's the doorbell
Hello man in black
He's gonna make you...
