Hello SG - long time no see!
For the last two weeks, I've been working ten and eleven-hour days at my new job, and then not being able to sleep when I get home. It's a pretty brutal combination, and today upon visiting my parents, the first thing my dad says is "you've lost weight!" No shit.
Despite me being dog-shit tired, I've concluded that making money is awesome - last week I bought shitloads of records (one of which is the new Converge - score!), and this week rent was due and instead of having to forsake living like a person to afford it, I've paid it AND I'm buying even more records! It's pretty rad. Next shipment is coming from a store in New Hampshire that for whatever reason has a seemingly endless supply of fucked-up screamo records, of which I'm buying eight.
Speaking of screamo (and fuck I hate that genre name), a friend and I are looking for a drummer for a band influenced by the likes of Jerome's Dream, Circle Takes the Square, Orchid, Reversal of Man, Ampere, etc. It's gonna start off with me on bass, him on guitar, and us both screaming our lungs out. If it ends up happening, it should be a blast.
Other than that, I haven't been doing much - putting an entire store together for two weeks took over my life for a bit, but starting next week I'm gonna have a much more sane work schedule. And maybe, just maybe, I'll finally get some decent sleep. And speaking of that, anyone got any good ways to tire yourself out before bedtime? How do all you guys get to sleep? I could use some new methods, so throw a few my way if you'd be so kind.

Glad to hear your job is working out for you so far, all that overtime must be awesome... I like working heaps, though, cos i get heaps of money but have no time to spend it, lol. My Ebay addiction however has been changing that theory a lot lately
I managed to get one of 500 real copies of Hummer
Need a screamo drummer? Move to Sydney
I've been lamenting how little I get paid and how much of that little goes into drinking my ass off. The band is doing an EP soon so fuck yeah, rock on god damn it. It's going to be an eye opening and wallet opening experience
