pain is chocolate flavored
Just finished work on my Guinness chocolate cake entry for the company talent competition. Total prize for best in show? $1500.
... I'll just be happy if I don't get beaten and mocked, but since there's only 12 entries I figure I've got a decent chance. -
Post-show recovery
Hit Seattle last night for the Abney Park show at Heaven....
so glad I went. It was easily one of the best shows I've gone to, and the crowd and band were both above reproach. And now, because it's stuck in my head, my best approximation of the Post-Apocalypse Punk lyrics:

"Pilgrim, those are dry and bitter tears and lonely
Eyes that look way beyond your years
Pilgrim, did you drink the mercury?
Your lips turned blue and you're struggling just to see,
