Something from Nothing
I've been feeling really creative of late on a multitude of fronts (journaling obviously not being one of them since its been weeks since I wrote a proper blogowhatsits). I'm certain one factor is that my job, while still commanding part of my time and attention, isn't dominating those things right now like some sort of life-devouring harpy. It's ( Read more... ) -
Burning of the Hearses
Saturday's show was the most fun I can remember having with a music gig in a really long time. The crowd was great, we made good money, and we played relatively well; much better in fact than the last show. I had quite a few people come up to me after to say how much they liked us. Hell, we even sold a few CDs, something that hasn't happened in ( Read more... ) -
The Glories of Tea, Domination, Basements, and +10 Swords
My intake valve is in a constant state of ON as it regards responsibilities and projects, which is nothing new, though the way I'm dealing working with it seems to have shifted. Timing couldn't be better on that front, really. I haven't groused much here on the webosphere but I certainly have done this last year to the poor wife, dog, and ( Read more... ) -
Oh Yeah, Online Journaling!
I can say with certainty and conviction that I've not written a real, honest to badness blog type entry this decade. My last foray into that space was somewhere back in November, when the weather was...well, pretty much exactly like it is now. Strange year weather wise in Seattle ( Read more... ) -
Pants and Parts and Platitudes
There's this thing that happens when you maintain a day job, a band, a massive house project, several minor side projects, a great relationship, and all the rest of it. I don't mean to be a broken record called Whiney and the Complainy Pantses, but I'm T to the ired. Fuck a duck and screw a kangaroo am I tired ( Read more... ) -
This and That
I'm probably overdue once more for one of those non-blipvert updates. You know, the ones that give in depth information? The ones that don't just tell you what underwear I'm currently rocking, or what my high score in Bejeweled is, or which Firefly character I am? To this last point, while I've never taken the quiz I can tell you without ( Read more... ) -
Juggling the Tasks and Tightening the (White) Belt
It's a quiet night and I have my old friend Brian Eno playing in the background to make the evening work experience good and mellow. I'm floating through the myriad tasks, one by one, trying to get caught up. It feels like a common theme of late, the striving to stay caught up, but somehow I'm managing to be a lot less stressed out about it all ( Read more... ) -
World of Warcrack
I must admit, and I do so with no small amount of trepidation knowing that man and woman alike are judgmental creatures by nature, but I've been quite seriously considering installing World of Warcraft and giving it a go once more. As proof of my seriousness regarding this act, I even went out a couple of days ago to the Blizzard site to retrieve ( Read more... ) -
A Mother of an Update
I've been feeling a mass update welling up inside me, not unlike an extraterrestrial fetus, threatening to explode out of my chest and consume my friends, family, and coworkers with much gnashing of teeth and what have you. We wouldn't want that to happen, so best to get these words...hu hu...off my chest. Oh yeah, double metaphor all up in this ( Read more... ) -
District 9
My vacation has been awesome thus far, for the most part anyway, but more on that later. I just got back from seeing District 9 with my adorable wife for date night. I promise not to give any of the movie away but I will share a couple of utterly spolier-free impressions.
The first is that this is not a date movie, something I recognized about ( Read more... )
