This week I have re-engaged my liver in a fight to the bloody, awful death. Engarde!

So I've gotten through the thick of it. I've played about fifty shows since I got back, made a pile of cash, and so here's all the shit that I still have to do that I want to do ( Read more... )

The show was great. The show was good. The show was rock. The CD is ( Read more... )

True to what I predicted prior to my arrival here, I'm... frustrated... with Portland and southern Maine in general. I seem to be more or less unhireable and the job skills I've spent years refining don't seem to get me work. So really, rather than making money, I'm kind of stuck at my house everyday without a car. I've been extremely productive ( Read more... )
