That's really awesome of your family. Have fun!

Must ... seek ... coffee! Ha!

Well, did you have a good time? I surprisingly did not come back to much work either (although I have managed to get behind again already but it is just the nature of the high-tech industry). More surprisingly, no one had tried to get on my computer for anything. Will wonders never cease?

I had forgotten just how short I really am in flat shoes until I saw the picture of me standing next to nolefdetnaw in your journal. Note to self: Buy more stripper shoes!

Okay, I found an apartment. Just keep ticking things off the list. It is in the ghetto. I don't want to raise a sissy so this should be great. I noticed that while there are a lot of children for him to play with here, a disproportionate number of them are girls about 1 year older. Yep, he's doomed.

What a relief, though. It's bigger, it's kind of cute ... I'm happy.

Awwww - yayyy!! I'm glad you guys met up and had fun

Ack - Yager. I canNOT even smell the stuff.

But anyway - things are going pretty well. I'm really digging running around checking out the new neighborhood and stuff And I'm even being good and steering clear of Sunset Plaza's little boutiques! Yes - I admit it. I'm a big clothes whore and the shops there are full of ALL my fave designers.
I guess it's actually good that the prices there are enough to make your eyes water - keeps me from buying anything

So how are thing with you??

Ack!!!! Yah - gas prices are friggin' INSANE. The cheapest around here is $2.63 a gallon.
*shrieks*

Let me just say - you think it's bad that you'll be singing that song all day? It goes through my head EVERY time we're walking....in...LA.
Go figure.

But yeah - we're having a blast over here. I really, REALLY love this city. I've already seen more sunshine in the week and a half we've been here than in 6 months in the DC area.

So - things are good with you I presume?

I think its a girl thing--I love to find stage accessories and clothes for my boy. I'm also apparently going to be making backdrops for photshoots and live shows, when they book live shows someday.

Coldstone is wonderful. Addictive. Fattening. Expensive. Delicious.

Thanks for the good wishes. So far not too many bites, I'm going to put up flyers for the one i'm trying to start off line.

Good luck w/ the band! Maybe you'll tour phili

YayyAYYY!!!!!

I'm really glad you're back. I got all bummed out when I saw your alias had gone gray.

WELCOME BACK!!!!

And don't be jealous of our insane relocation - just find a time to pack up your wife and your little dudes and come visit

thanks.

I got cut from work at around midnight tonight because it got really slow. I made a whopping 35 bucks... Canadian. So that translates into about 25 bucks american. Man that blows. How depressing.

so I'm drinking some hot chocolate make me feel better.

Thanks, everything turned out fine

And nothing a day in NY couldn't clear out of my system. You should take a long walk in the rain. (W/ a heavy raincoat) and then a hot shower, it'll make you feel better!

I'm losing brain cells as I sit here watching a bad Steven Segal movie... so you're doing a whole lot better than I am!

It's so hard not to feel bad about putting your foot down with children. Especially if they are generally good and sweet. I always feel like a terrible old hag when I do it. How old is your son?

The blue pill tasted sinful. See my new entry for the lurid details.

Correction: child. As in one little girl, who is also turning 7 in a month or so.

The proposition is scary... and I'm not going to do it. But tempting none the less.

Hey you!!

I hope your cold is gone ar at least better by now sweets.

And yeah - I imagine being in two bands is nerve racking

Let's see....what do I dread....

Tax time as well

Having to wait tables again

Unpacking.

Well, survived the weekend. Guess I should sleep. I miss that hour and I want it back!

heh heh

Thanks for the cat advice... I think we're going to go ahead and do that. As for the things I look forward to, do I even need to say... getting the hell outta here and to LA already!!!

Well, I sold another Gretsch snare that was definitely from the 60's and it had some crazy white pearl psychodelic skin and it was beautiful. It was such a strange size, too. Like a 14x14" or something. At first I thought it was a tom that had been converted to a snare but it was actually all original. The shell was perfect, nothing was cracked or damaged. I couldn't tune it for some reason ... but you don't honestly think I know how to do that anyway, do you? I was just having trouble with equal torque so I guess maybe some of the threads needed waxing or something ... but overall it was in what I would call *very good* condition for something of its age. It's the just the really ugly ones that amaze me. And I see them altogether too often. And they ALWAYS sell.

Oh, the UGLIEST thing I ever saw? (Drum related, I mean...) When we got that beautiful DK cocktail kit, there were some red glitter drum sticks that came with it. I was about to ask if drummers are just extra tacky or something but then I remembered the orange glitter flying v guitar and realize that no one has a monopoly on a bad taste. No really ... it was orange glitter. And someone did, indeed, buy it from eBay.

Today doesn't suck because my customer fucked up and then somehow a big project I thought needed to be done was STANDARD with our new system, so now I'm waiting on them and can walk proudly down the hall. This is just dumb luck, no effort on my part ... but how do you like me now? I probably won't get fired again today. Damn, I lead a charmed life.

How's Monday for you?

LOL @ "echo chamber". You are so correct. The whole house is wood floors now and the echo is ridiculous with no furniture.

So how did practice go?

You know what's funny? I didn't think that was a sad story. Ken & Barbie suck but I get to move and hopefully somewhere I really love. It WILL be better in the end. I am touched that everyone seems to worry about me, though.

I'm not working today BUT I am also out of 420 and that's how my weekend job pays me ... so I'm starting to get a little antsy. Think I'll make it until tomorrow?

Have a great day!

It is hard to find good people but I find more of them per square inch on this site than anywhere in years. That makes me happy! In fact, a nice man from this site is taking me to Elvis Costello tonight. And I'm about to run a snare stand over to thrashead at his record shop. We all just seem to help each other. Yesterday, MalloryKnoxx unknowingly inspired me to do something super groovie. And then there is nolefdetnaw ... ... ... let's just say he helps me in ways that most of you will never get the chance to. OMG, is he HOT! LOL ... I sound like a damned teenager.

Anyway, he's bringing me to Seattle in just 3 more weeks. You seem to keep ignoring me when I tell you that. So what should we do for fun and excitement up there? I have never been any further north than Sacramento, so this should be an adventure. We are meeting a few SG'ers along the route. Maybe we can arrange to show up at your place at about, oh, 4:20?
