I promise I haven't abandoned this venue. I haven't written in this for a long time now, but I have not given up on LJ or trying to ( Read more... )

So Dad's in the hospital...I hate hospitals. He was admitted yesterday after Months of what I can only describe as trying to "walk off" perpetual digestive problems. He's doing Much better today and is going to start taking care of his blood sugar problems which, as Mom suspected (and he denied 9-to-5)(...that's all day), was the underlying cause ( Read more... )

Some people deserve better than what they get.

I'm feeling much better, thanks. And how are you?

...Ah, that's an interesting response.

I had a song caught in my head earlier today that has never been stuck in there before, but now I can't recall what it was. Fascinating!

It's about 12:30am, and all I want to do is play Batman: Arkham Asylum (generously on loan from the distinctive BLK ( Read more... )

I am tired - I haven't slept well the past two nights. I'm fighting some kind of allergies/sickness/whatever - I'm exhausted and wide awake. I've been trying to sleep for two hours, an endeavour I've finally given up on in favor of tapping down some stuff in here. And I'm totally listening to Wide Awake by Kenna.

Apparently when last we spoke I ( Read more... )

Today I took three hours in the afternoon to drive up to Peru, exchange my CD, and drive home. Fye tried to sell me a used copy of the Red Hot Chili Peppers' One Hot Minute, but the CD inside the case was not the aforementioned. So, since I had nothing better to do and the weather was Gorgeous, I drove up to get what was coming to me. I realize ( Read more... )

I missed making an entry on 11/11/11 by that much. Bummer.

I've gotten my kills for the evening in Battlefield, I've heard a vinyl (tonight's choice - American Pie by Don McLean), and put the cat out (...of my room. She's taken to a certain soft pillow on my couch over the past month, so every night I gotta give her the ol' boot; I do Not want ( Read more... )

Did a tiny bit of recording today. Not all progress is Big progress, but I'll take what I can get.

Family and I went to the movie theater tonight to watch West Side Story on the big screen in celebration of the film's 50th anniversary. Tremendous experience.

I play too much, dog.

Haven't rehearsed with the Cat Band in, like, three weeks, which ( Read more... )

The Sister answered yesterday's LJ Writer's Block thing-a-ma-jig: "If you could only listen to one song the rest of your life what would it be?" My answer - American Pie by Don McLean.

Today I watched an episode of Hajime No Ippo, listened to Paramore, and played Battlefield 1943. Not exactly the kind of day that the best 26-year-old ever would put together, but I'm already finding that it's much harder to be the best on some days than on others. I can't make any promises, but I'll Try to be the best tomorrow.

I've got manners ( Read more... )
