haven't been together in my head enough lately to update, but i've at least tried to check in with everybody from time to time.

between my ongoing state of blankness, the total onslaught of playoff basketball on tv, bouts of obscene drunkenness to the point of complete disorientation, and radical regime change at the job, i just haven't had the creative drive or even the will to say what's happening.

i still don't know if i'm getting a handle on it all, but i'm trying.

i am really looking forward to seeing some SGChicago people this weekend - i feel like it's been too long. also looking forward to a few rock shows on the horizon. i'll let you usual rock and roll enthusiasts that join me in such endeavours know the details soon, i hope i can round up some company. i've had a week or so in relative isolation and quiet, and i'm ready to get out and be with people again.

one of the biggest things for me in these past couple weeks has been coming to terms with the health and aging of my cat Huxley.

we've found out he's in the early stages of kidney dysfunction, which i suspected before we had the tests done - but we're doing what we can.

he's 15 years old, but runs around like a crazy kitten still and talks loudly to people and empty rooms alike. he's been my pal through many apartments, girlfriends and life changes.

so - my mind has really been focused on giving him what he needs. the medicine we got and the changes in diet we've made have already seemed to lift his energy and spirits, and i certainly don't think there's need for any real imminent concern - but here's a picture of him, and don't be too surprised if you see more of them in subsequent journals.



that's my boy.
