Devil Wears Prada
Saturday, July 1, 2006 05:37 p.m.

Nice easy day at work and some last minute shopping for the trip.

Met with Eunice and went to see the Devil Wears Prada...yeah, yeah...I know it's kinda gay...but I loved it and Anne Hathaway is a total hottie. Funny movie and funnier since it's about Vogue and Conde Nast... Eunice's company.

We looked at puppies...and "Candy" the yorkie that Eunice named was adorable. I want to get one so badly...one day. Went to Barnes and Noble and read some stuff...then went to Takahachi for sushi...fun times.

Lots on my mind. The summer makes me a little crazy and I've been thinking about "change" a lot...and how at times I am terrified of it. The sudden shift...I'm not sure if I am ready for anything like that...I just want to be pleasantly surprised...but like I said before...I don't want to necessarily be the agent for change.

I would much rather "react" than "act" at this point in my life. I don't want to be the cause of anything...because I don't trust my judgement...in almost every area of my life except for my creative outlets. My relationships with my friends and family, the job, and of course girls...I'm terrified of rocking the boat when I am "content"...I'm nowhere near "happy"...but at least I'm not miserable. And that's a good thing.

Now, yes...I'd love someone to just lay one on me...I'd love to get a promotion...I'd love for good things to happen...but I don't want it to stem from one of my decisions...because I'm not sure of myself at all.

What I think and feel...is that based in reality...or is it out of some delusional frame of mind...I don't know.

Anyways...going to Johnny's wedding banquet...came as a surprise to me too...oh, well. Free food and well wishes.

PSYCHIC!
Wednesday, June 28, 2006 03:46 p.m.

Ok...more of these:

1. Eunice was with Tia when someone snatched her purse on Friday...they ran after the person and got the purse back! Funny thing is...she didn't tell me about this until yesterday...and I had just watched Lucky Louie on DVR Monday night...the episode was about how the wife got her purse snatched and chased after the kid!

2. I mentioned I was reading "Fargo Rock City"...yesterday I read a chapter on Poison and how "Talk Dirty to Me" was one of their best songs...and guess what Eunice asked me to send her today...yup.

3. Also read about Bon Jovi this morning in the book...and decided to listen to "New Jersey" on my way to work...not more than 15 minutes later this morning, Josh tells me that PLJ has another contest and that his band made the first round again to open for...Bon Jovi.

4. Oh...and Eunice was upset because of a traffic ticket. I thought it was referring to when she ran a red light and thought the camera took a pic...but it was something else...anyways, I'm watching the news this morning and they mention that they are doubling the traffic cameras...and I thought of Eunice's incident.

Ok...so all these things happened this week...and yes, it's been happening for years...but it's normally in the fall...so...not sure if it means anything or not...other than the fact that I am a perceptive bastard.

speech, speech!
Tuesday, June 27, 2006 09:38 a.m.

Not much going on...work was work. Got some stuff done. Getting better at this newfangled K4 editing system.

Home, worked out a little. Got crazy and ordered a bunch of books. Some Pahlahniuk mostly. I got "Fargo Rock City" in the mail ...and it's great. Just Klosterman talking about his love of metal growing up. A lot of very good insight into social/political/psych stuff about that era....it's funny and smart. He is my pop culture soulmate. We could be buddies! (I sound like a stalker...yeah yeah.)

Anyways, I got to working on Doris' wedding speech that I am supposed to give at the rehersal dinner. And let me tell you...it just kind of flowed out. I need to edit it a little more...but I've been thinking about it for a while and it came pretty naturally. We really do have a lot of memories...and I love her to death...so it's not hard to make fun of her a little before the ball and chain gets slapped on. heh.

I've been thinking a lot about the status quo also. When is "good" not enough? Is it worth it to risk something comfortable and familiar for something that may or may not be possible? The more I thought about it...the more I realize that I need to stick to my guns and be passive. I can't trust my own judgment anymore and I promised that I would give myself at least a year (2007, would be fine) before I did anything stupid. So, I'm in "wait and see" or "let God decide" mode at the moment. So if things happen...it better not be my stupid idea. Let it be someone elses.

Speaking of people's crazy ideas....L got back together with her bfriend. People tend to do wacky things...hope things work out for her though. Yeeesh.

Right now...comics are awesome, Klosterman is awesome, cartoons and movies and music are awesome. I'm pretty happy with that.

Everything else...all the drama and what not...stay the "eff" away from me.

dazed and confused...
Sunday, June 25, 2006 05:09 p.m.

Yeah...I've been indoors most of the weekend...and I still don't quite feel like myself. I'm just kinda tired and rundown...and maybe it's the humidity or whatever. I feel like I have so much crap I gotta do. Have to finish packing, write up a speech, and then figure out work stuff.

Anyways, Justin, Alex, my aunt, my little aunt and uncle, his mom and his aunt all went to China yesterday...and I have to admit that I did get a little teary-eyed saying good bye to Justin. I'm not going to see him until July 12th or so...so that's like 3 weeks...he'll have a great time over there though.

Finished my freelance stuff early, though I may need to write up another thing soon...and just getting stuff ready for Doris' wedding...urrgh. I just realized I'm leaving from Newark airport. CRAP. That really, really sucks.

Work...one more week and then...not thinking about anything for a while.

long time no blog
Thursday, June 22, 2006 11:18 p.m.

Haven't blogged all week and for good reason. Been super busy at work...lots of possible changes...more about this when I know more.

The show: Went very well...a good bunch of folks came out: Joyce, Josh, Jon, Doris, Grace and her new bfriend, Chris, Jen, and some old TL people: Abby and her friend, Janet and her two friends, and then Sofia and her friend came late. New bartender Bianca was very friendly and cute...just graduated from college, and Teresa was great but really busy so I didn't get a chance to talk to her. A few random bar patrons and the show was on... the new songs were ok..."your only thrill" was the best of the two beatfilled songs...and the set was pretty darn well received.

So, pushing back the past and moving on...I'll start recording in earnest when I get back from Aruba. Went to Dojo's with Joyce and Doris and had a good time...

Going to play an Asian variety show at Laugh Lounge...most likely in August some time. More on that later.

More work and I ended up getting sick today and I'm taking off tomorrow too. So crazy dizzy and week. Stuffy nose and headaches. Chris is sick, my mom, my aunt...some weird summer bug. Ugh. I am so tired but I can't even sleep very much. Got up early, watched some tv, cleaned up and took a nap.

Had to help my mom move some stuff and buy a few things too...and I was just completely out of my mind. Just dizzy and feeling so weird.

So...I'm going to stay in...watch some anime so I can work on my freelance asssignment...and try to keep the room from spinning.

It's been a year...and after tomorrow...I don't want to look back anymore. I want to be healed finally....and just move on. Love is overrated. The world doesn't stop spinning without it. There are other things that make life carry on.

Enough said. TGIF.... let's get better.

weekend
Sunday, June 18, 2006 10:50 p.m.

Friday went by like a breeze...got my work done and things were good. I'm worried about some of my coworkers but I think things will get resolved this week. Hopefully, for the better.

Eunice has half-day Fridays for the rest of the summer. Dang lucky...so she came to my workplace to pick me up for the first time! So cute! We went to F & B and got a snack...then killed some time by going shopping and then we went to see the Da Vinci Code...man, what was all the hubbub about? I saw no controversy really...seemed like a bunch of BS to me and not worth a huge tiff over..."apple" oh please... come on. It was entertaining fluff. Chill out people.

Spent most of Saturday rehearsing after my mom, aunt, and my grandparents went off to Florida on their Disney vacation...lucky! They should be back tomorrow night. I'll see them then. Justin came over and we got take out and watched "Underworld Evolution" which was...meh. Not much else.

Sunday...more rehearsing and testing the new tracks. I hope it works live and it doesn't turn out to be just like some weird karaoke thing! If it works well...I think people will dig it cause it is brand new...if it doesn't...well, I've got my guitar and a good setlist and some pretty cool new stuff. I really hope people come out this time...supposed to be thunderstorming...uh-oh.

Anyways, watched the first Superman movie...and man, that was pretty dang good for the time..still holds up today.

Had a weird half dream thing... I wonder if I should say anything to the person it was about! I need to figure something out. Sometimes the status quo is fine...but then sometimes you wonder if mixing it up a bit will be better...or it could be worse. I dunno... I'm scared to do much of anything nowadays...I don't trust myself often...but once in awhile...I want to be brave. Will have to think about this...but now...too much going on.

Show in two days! Please tell folks to come! More the merrier!

Ahhhh...married couples.
Thursday, June 15, 2006 10:03 a.m.

Work was more reading and getting ready for the nitty gritty. Kinda tired. Not much else.

Went to the comic store and got my weekly stack...of like 3 comics. But it was an awesome day cause they were giving out free Green Lantern rings, Superman buttons, and GL buttons! I LOVE IT!

Met up with my comic/anime buddy Steve for the first time in a looooong time. I gave him some CDs and he gave me the DVD of the documentary he made at ComiCon that uses my song! I'll have to watch it tonight. Caught up a bit and he went to see the Spidey 3 filmshoot and I had to get back to work.

After work I had to kill some time and I bought some clothes and checked in with the other comic store...and they were giving away free t-shirts with purchase of an FF comic! (The comic was pretty terrible.) the shirt said "Proud to be a MUTANT" and the back "I don't need a cure." X3 tie-in...nice.

Met up with Sowon and Jeremy at Yellowsomething(I forgot what it was called)...nice place and we split this bottle of lemon soju and had some food. (Man, that soju didn't hit me until much later...dang headache!) We really need to work on a project together one day. With their visual art skills and my writing...we could come up with something amazing. Anyways...the married couple are kinda acting married...which I thought was incredibly cute.

Home...too tired to really rehearse. Have to do that tonight...oh man...haven't been sleeping well.

Finished "dead like me" last night and the last episode with the final shot...was just perfect. I wonder if they knew it was the end of the show? I would love to see this show back on the air again...but it seems really unlikely. :(

SPOILERS !!!

OH... if you haven't heard...Spidey revealed to the public his secret ID in Civil War #2...um, I think that is dumb. Aunt May and MJ are toast now! Stupid Parker!

Weird start...
Tuesday, June 13, 2006 12:39 p.m.

Ow...and ow. What happened today? I was getting ready this morning and banged my knee on the sink...going up through the mall and this little woman full on body checks me when I am going through the door...and then I burn my hand in the sink at work. Weird.

And I saw the person I no longer work with...I went to get lunch early at 1130 and she's there. wtf!??!

Anyways: check out who loves some BSG--

BENDIS: Yeah, I’m completely alone. And you know how I know I’m completely alone? Not on DVD yet. So what’s the last great movie you’ve seen?

WHEDON: Okay, I did see some unexpected greatness in “Kong.” Amidst the hoke and the bloat was some transcendent movie making. It was like the “The Legend of 1900”: a great, lean flick trapped in a three-hour fat suit. But no, I do have a recent great, and it”s not, I don’t think it’s coincidence that the last great movie I watched wasn’t a movie. I’m way late to the game, but I have really good excuses. But I just watched the miniseries opener of “Battlestar Galactica” and I loved the toes off that bitch. I’m not positive what that phrase means. But tension, drama, humanity, and—alien spaceships. I was pretty floored. That’s my call.

Why are you not watching this yet?!?!?

New beginning
Monday, June 12, 2006 11:00 p.m.

So, I started with the new team today and I am relieved that I will be working with dudes! And one coworker from SS and one person I have not met yet. Anyways, the guy in charge seems to know what he is doing and is pretty hands off...he lets us get our work done and he takes care of the admin stuff...so seems like a much better way to go...versus power hungry person that I don't care to mention.

Anyways...came home...ate...watched Entourage and Tourgasm and worked on "Your Only Thrill"...I am so psyched for people to hear it...it's "groove-y" if you know what I mean...has a bit of soul in it. It's pretty damn sexy (well, for me it is)...so it's a HUGE change from what I usually play...anyhoo...more later. I've only got a week to get everything ready for the show. I hope it's a big turn out this time. People are saying they are coming...so...we'll see.

Work...more work...ack.

nightmare.
Monday, June 12, 2006 09:34 a.m.

...well more like a "daymare"...one of those "snooze button nightmares"...it happened real quick but when I woke up again my heart was just pounding out of my chest.

I dreamt that I was going to Great Adventure with my mom, dad, Justin, this punkass Indian kid...and HER.

It was a short dream but it was basically the culmination of "WHY THE FRAK IS SHE HERE!??" and the whole Great Adventure thing was kind of glossed over. The ride back was just me cursing her out and the Indian kid defending her. And then she was gone...just disappeared...and I was just cursing at this kid and we dropped him off in Flushing. There were fireworks also... don't know what all that means.

I kind of get why the dream happened. Been trying not to think about last year...and it's the season where I get all misty-eyed about going to an amusement park with a girl...and the Indian kid...well, he's Raj...the character I created as "my" best friend in my abandoned novel...

Anyways, all this and the anxiety/excitement of starting on the new team, the new music, the upcoming show, the summer looming, the Aruba thing, all of it...it's gotta go somewhere...my poor brain. Still waiting to hear what I'm going to do here at work.

*sigh* it's been a weird few weeks. I hope things chill out. NO DRAMA. Please, Lord...no more.

weekend round up
Sunday, June 11, 2006 11:21 p.m.

I'm still a little stunned by the DDD sale. I think I am set for DVDs for the year. Well, that is until the August/Sept glut of TV shows on DVD that I have to get. Sweet jeebus.

But weddings take priority. Yes, yes...I know I know. Arrrrgh! Stop getting married people!

Friday: Just came home after work and was fiddling with some music. I have the setlist for the show down. Just need to whittle away a little since it may just destroy me to play 15 songs...which is really like 30 because of all the mini-covers in there. UGH! Must figure out what I can cut. I think 12 is manageable... But at least two songs with sweet beats. I can't wait to see what people think of them!

Saturday: More music stuff and cleaning up. Actually started packing for Doris' wedding. I think I am pretty much set at this point. Still wondering if I need to get an ipod battery for the trip. I bet I will need to. Went out to the city to meet up with Eunice for dinner. We ended up going to Cowgirl Cafe and then got tea at Amy's Bread. Walked her to 2nd Ave...and she smacked my booty! What the heck! That's MY job. dang...surprises.

Speaking of which. I need to proscribe to my motto of "anything is possible and probable" this year. I am going to keep an open mind and accept every day as a gift. Especially when I have to deal with the unexpected. So, I'm hoping for some pleasant surprises (still waiting for a hot girl to drag me back to her cave) and I need to be ready for whatever.

Sunday: My throat has been a little scratchy and I've just been so tired and stressed lately. So I slept in until noon and worked on some music. Went home and had dinner with Justin and my Dad...and watched a little BSG with them. I think they are getting hooked! wooot. Mom is bringing the grandparents home soon...so I have to stay up a little...even if I am pooped. Worked on another track...so I had to clear my hard drive and I replaced "pinioned" with tracks for "your only thrill"...yup...it's a huge step since that song has been there for over 3 years...so, I'm moving on now. Out with the old and in with the new.

Ok...enough babbling. Starting my new assignment with a new group tomorrow. Hope I have some time to ease in to all of this...yipes. Lord, I hope they know what they are doing and they can teach me some new tricks.

winding down the week...
Friday, June 9, 2006 09:16 a.m.

Well, trying to stay steady until next week when things change over yet again. I ran into her twice...first time I was helping out with some PDF proofs...she came over and didn't even acknowledge my presence. Then, saw her in the cafeteria and got the worst stink eye ever. Ugh.

Not much else going on...I did get Entourage Season 2...mainly because it was cheap and it came with a free "hug it out" t-shirt...which is frakkin' awesome. And the new AFI CD is amazing! Highly recommended. Might go see them live if I can get someone to go with me.

Had dinner with the folks. Some more AI little things to take care of...and just went to sleep pretty early. A lot of mental stress this week...I just feel like I'm kind of floating around in the miasma here.

Haircut tomorrow, laundry, chill out...I feel a little sick...but there are supposed to be some bday parties tomorrow...if I'm not completely zonked...I'll check it out.

TGIF...seriously...Amen and amen.

Problems resolved?
Thursday, June 8, 2006 09:40 a.m.

Yeah...I got my transfer and I was reassured I was a valued member of the department. I'll be moving to the TE team on Monday...helping take care of some stuff for my coworkers before I transition over completely. Yeah...enough about that.

Went out for drinks with Iris. It was pouring and I had to kill some time by going clothes shopping (I realized when I got home that I had bought 3 black shirts...short sleeve, long sleeve, and a polo...all different though!)

anyways...we had a couple of drinks and caught up. I didn't think anything of it ...but she was like "thanks for asking me out...I'd really like to see you again." WHOAH WHOAH WHOAH...I thought we were just friends?!?!?

I mean, I don't think anything was implied. We've kept in touch and it wasn't like we did anything...so I'm not sure where this is coming from exactly...maybe I'm looking too much into it? Gah, I dunno. I'm an idiot.

I do think she is pretty cute...but it just seems like we come from two different worlds...but is that such a bad thing? Maybe I need to try liking someone who is NOTHING like me...She seems very practical, fun...but a little reserved...but then again she does surprise me from time to time...so I guess I just don't know her well enough. (I was drenched when I met her and she was like "you are all wet, I can't give you a kiss"...I was like HUH??? and then she gave me a pretty aggressive peck on the cheek when we left though...maybe she's just a "kisser"....I think too much. hit me.)

In a perfect world..stuff like this would be easy. I would much rather someone just be like "YOU. ME. LET'S GO." and that someone would be my "soul mate"...but often times your "soul mates" are your friends...and that's where that ends. In a perfect world...I'd mix Eunice, Doris, Cindy, Grace, Romana, Gloria, Serena, Amy, Sabrina, Karen, Nancy, Christin, Jen, Emily, Maya and the parts of my exes that weren't crazy...throw in some Wonder Woman DNA (dash of Kari Byron, Dita Von Teese, and Kristin Bell) and then I'd have the perfect woman. Seriously, there are aspects in my friends that I've fallen deeply in love with. And I am a better person for knowing them. Those hot biznatches! (Ok I am a sick, sick man. Dr. Frankenchang.)

Anyways...comics make me happy. The Kids in the Hall make me happy. Sweet electro beats make me happy. Getting transferred makes me happy.

Thank God....blessings. I am ever grateful.

Evil day?
Tuesday, June 6, 2006 08:41 p.m.

Seriously, was it? I mean...I knew this was coming...but it was the final straw today. I'll make this short and vague. My manager at work said something today in public that was bordering on demeaning and personal. It was pulling rank...when their was evidence presented that pointed to me being clearly in the right. I don't know what she did with the work from the vendor...but I'm almost positive that it was sent back. And if so...well, I guess I was right.

In any case...that just made me go to HR again and I was visibly shaking and just...irate... (since, I went yesterday and requested a transfer already)...I felt like it was a personal slight. I know what my abilities are and what is *basic* procedure...and when something is obviously wrong...you don't make excuses and try to cover up. You do what you can to fix it...and you get your co-workers backs. You are a team...and you appreciate the work people do for you...you don't make them feel small.

In any case...I don't want to talk about this anymore. All I know is that I have a good reputation at the company, my old managers are supportive, my other co-workers have my back, and I am certain that I am doing the right thing. I have a responsibility to myself and the work that I do...and to the customers to do the best I can...but if I feel like I am being demeaned...I have to speak up.

Regardless, things were not pleasant. Everything is out in the open now and it's up to the execs to decide where to transfer me...worse case scenario...I'm unemployed again...but I still have my integrity. I refuse to compromise that. It may be hard...but I have to stick to my guns on this.

Hope everyone else got out of this day unscathed...ugh. Just had to happen today, huh?

Otherwise...working on music, freelance stuff, crazy busy, stressed, and really tired.

Hugs? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?

what a weekend!
Sunday, June 4, 2006 03:31 p.m.

Oh man...where do I even start. I am still just flat out exhausted at this point...so much stuff going on. Ok,let's recap...

Friday: Work was eh...got some stuff done and it is getting finalized. But I am growing increasingly unhappy. I need to get outta there. Updating resume and sending it out now. POURING rain...really bad...but went to the BSG seminar and waited on line...Ended up getting seats in the third row..and um...hello, 3 feet away from Mary McDonnell (who was HOT! Dang! What was she wearing?!??), Jamie Bamber, and Edward James Olmos...got to see the last episode of last season (which I didn't see) and preview of Season 3...and the Q & A session...lots of nerds...and I didn't get to ask a question...but it was pretty awesome to see them there.

Afterwards...shared a cab with Gloria downtown and heard that the trains were not going to Queens! So I went to meet Eunice and Tia for some Italian food... and then they drove me home! Hung out at my place for a little bit...but I was zonked out and my EMX had arrived...and I wanted to play with my beats! Tired and excited...sorry, hon...I love you though...

Anyways, went home to see my Dad who was back from Taiwan and mom and Justin. Ended up staying to watch the "Parent Trap" on tv...man, Lindsay was such a great actress back then...seriously amazing. What happened to my girl? She's gotta pick better roles.

Anyways played with my EMX the rest of the day and it sounds AMAZING! I spent most of Saturday playing with the machine and was inspired to write another song, recorded a bunch, cleaned up drum parts from old songs and just went creatively nuts. I feel so inspired! I'm so psyched to share this stuff...soon as it is ready. It really is a HUGE departure. I can't even describe it...but I think my music is about to really take off into a new field...seriously. The beats are incredible...and the more I play with it...the better it will be.

I'll have to post new lyrics later...but I just got back from church and lunch. Tim Keller...wow. That guy is really blessed. He was talking about how Jesus can be harsh and rebuking to one person and to another...he's gentle and comforting...and the reason is...well, God knows what you need. Sometimes you need a bit of the rod...and sometimes you need that embrace. Guess what I need...yeah...a little of both. But it was just a revelation to realize that maybe what I had to go through last year prepares me for everything I've been dealing with this year...certainly in the job aspect...others? Not sure yet.

Yeah, I forget what it feels like to be close to someone...and I'm scared to let anyone get too close...I don't know how I'd react...and I'm still picking up the pieces...I'm getting there. But I really wish someone would just club me over the head and drag me to her cave.

Anyways, Amy, Jamie, Lester, Chris Song, Erin, Anne and Andy, and Arnold and his friend went to lunch at Patsy's...this waiter spilled and ENTIRE glass of water on me... Good thing I was wearing a jacket and took it off quick...anyways, it was good to see Ames really starting to settle in and in a new place. I have all the best wishes and prayers for her in Cali. I think it really is doing her good. And Jamie...sometimes I forget how much I miss that kid...well, that's what happens when they get married...you kinda forget. :P

Eric, Charlotte, Jeff and Rosey are over now just watching tv...I want to play with my beats...but I really should work on my freelance stuff and send my resume to my head hunter... sigh...long weekend. A lot of fun and work....more later. I'll post lyrics in a bit.

Get the wheel, let's go for a ride...
Friday, June 2, 2006 10:30 a.m.

Man, this week has been jam packed. I am running on 7 hours of sleep total for the last two nights.

After work went to Doris' and helped her with some wedding stuff, had some wine, and made fun of her freckles.

Met up with Eunice and then we all headed downtown. Jeanie came along and we went to Friend of a Farmer for dinner (where I had too much cornbread...arrgh! My diet!) and it rained like nobody's business...

Then it was time for the show. Jeff Klein was ok...he used a lot of effects and the looping thing got annoying really quickly. Then Afterhours came on and just ripped! They were awesome! I need to get their CD...they are like a junior Afghan Whigs...but really Italian. The electroviolin guy was awesome...even if he looked like Doug Henning. The rhythm guitarist looked like Keyser Soze (the badass one in flashbacks in Usual Suspects)...and the lead singer could have been Dulli's brother! Weirdest/coolest moment...they played "My Time" ...which is a Twilight Singers song! Interesting...like Weezer playing "Big Me" before the FF came out. Awesome rockin' set. Frak yeah.

And then...it was Twilight time! Opened with "I'm Ready"...I'll post setlist later...but highlights for me were "Cigarettes", "Teenage Wristband", "66", and "Fountain and Fairfax"...some real kickass stuff. And...I was up front and snagged the setlist! WOOOOO! AWESOME! My precious!

Dulli is probably the most influential person in terms of my music...him and Moz...so yeah...it was just great to see him get on and do his thing. He's tubby...and he gets chicks. Who doesn't want to be him?

Got an awesome TS t-shirt and got one for Eunice too... she's like a fragile little bird...teeny tiny t-shirt. So cute.

Got home at 2:00 and my original BSG series was there. I got the limited Cylon head packaging! It's HUGE! perfect timing...since tonight it's frakkin' BSG fest! Can't wait! WOOOOT!

And an awesome surprise. One of the kids from Paraguay emailed me! I've got to spend some time this weekend to write him back. Wow...I miss that place.

Oh...and I forgot...another "psychic" thing...When I wrote Nightingale...I asked when I could play. Teresa offered me two dates...and one of them was TO THE DATE...the one year anniversary of "lo-fi is chic." CD release. hmmm

Been a superfun week...and if my EMX beatbox comes today...that's just too frakkin awesome. Let's keep this going! Making up for the crap from last year...let's bury it and make this an actually good summer. TGIF!
