I really don't claim to have the most superb taste in music or much anything else, for that matter. I'm not a music snob. There are plenty of those going around. I listen to mostly metal, and I'll defend my genre up to a point.

I've often said that I don't like hip-hop because it lacks depth. My guitar player even said that was an...

I actually forgot about SG for a week or so. Isn't that sad? And I come back and find that a SG had set of the day twice in one week. What are the chances?

Anyway, I've been occupied with my fitness kick and band stuff. Yesterday I called my trainer about 2 hours before my scheduled session and asked him to come with me...

I went to King Richard's Faire this weekend. Somehow I remember it being cooler. Maybe I've just been there and done that too many times.

Did 2 appointments today, and the first one started at 7. I have our new song stuck in my head. Our new guitar player Jesse wrote it, and now I'm in charge of writing lyrics. It'll come.

I had hoped to sleep a little better. Today will be a long, interesting day, as I have an appointment tonight that I'm not looking forward to, but will net me a lot of money in a short period of time. I just hope I get some sleep tonight so I'll be functional in band practice tomorrow.

The money is needed because my car needs...

Eh, vocal lesson today. I'm thinking very strongly of discontinuing my vocal lessons. Not that I think I'm God's gift to music, or that there's nothing else she can teach me, it's just that I hate going. $37 for a half hour of standing there being uncomfortable while she tells me "Head down! Collar bone back! Don't breathe yet! Arms forward!" I'm sure it's ultimately...

So I think I'm depressed, and I don't necessarily have a good reason for being depressed, but it's not exactly a well-thought-out sort of thing.

I wasn't feeling well for part of last week, just suffering from some severe cold symptoms. Theraflu and sleep seemed to clear up most of that. I turned down an appointment for Sunday because I was supposed to have band...

After much waiting, Vespera's set goes up today at 2:29 pm. As it happens, she's not sure if that means Eastern Time, Pacific Time or other. We'll just have to keep checking back.

It would seem I have the beginnings of a cold. I've been popping Vitamin C like it's pez, hoping to avoid illness. Fortunately I've been fairly busy so far in October,...

We tried out a 2nd guitar player the other night. I think he's the guy. I think he's the right decision, and it's the right time to bring on another guitar player. Chris has been writing all the music for 2 years, and he's a little burned out. On the other hand, you listen to most of our songs, and it's obvious that 1 guy...

The wallet incident of this past weekend has had a rather poor effect on my relationship. I'm moody anyway. I know I'm bipolar. I've really tried to brush the whole thing off as "shit happens," because my life is not bad, and I do have money. And supposedly my wallet is on the way back to me, with my license and my Best Buy rewards...

So just when I'm starting to feel better (back pain is easing up, having a little more energy), some asshole steals my wallet.

Were at a party last night in Tewksbury. I should mention that I did a 2-hour appointment in the afternoon, so the money from that was in my wallet because I didn't make it to the bank. And I stuffed my pants...

I'm feeling very low energy. I smoked some funny stuff last night while I was watching the President on Letterman, and this created the odd problem of trying to comprehend what the leader of the free world was saying while everything felt surreal. At some point during the night, I seem to remember having to eject one of the cats because he was making too...

So the band is on pseudo-hiatus. I've talked a bit about my back problems... well, our guitar player's may be a lot worse, and his instrument is bigger and heavier than mine. We cancelled 2 practices. He may have a pinched nerve or a slipped disk. Maybe I'll make him come over, and I'll work on it a bit so he can function. In the...
