It seems my blogs 'round here are becoming few and far between. Ah well. So it goes, so it goes.
Anyway, it's been a long and taxing month. West Side Story, dogsitting a spastic pitbull mix, week 1 of camp done, the Earthquakes game last night, and then today. An off day! Then 9 to 9's next week.
About that Earthquakes game.. Holy craps! We got to the bar at 3:00, drank Bud Light Tall-boys till 6:30, then headed to the stadium to watch our beloved San Jo play the New England Revolution. The bottom of the standings (us) versus the top of the league (them). What an incredible fucking game! I know The Quakes have been getting much better, but to smoke the top team 4-0?? FOUR NIL?!?!! Incredible.
It almost made up for the fact that I had breakfast at 8am, lunch at noon, then started drinking at 3, went through at least 6 BL tall boys, and totally forgot about the plan to actually eat before the game. Oops. When I got home I had the biggest, fiercest migraine I've had in a while. So I walked in the door, went straight to my room, changed, and passed out on the bed. Suck.
And now I'm kinda paying for it. I should be in worse shape now, I really punished myself yesterday. Oh well, I'll recover.
Of course, tomorrow starts hell week at the high school. 5 days of 9 to 9's then a performance on Saturday. So, I won't be around for a week. I'll have this for a schedule: Wake up, eat breakfast, teach marching from 9am to 12pm, eat lunch, teach music from 1:30 to 4:30, eat dinner, teach marching and music from 6pm to 8:30pm, go home, eat, watch Adult Swim and some Olympics, sleep, repeat.
At the moment, it's nice to just chill out. Cruise the ole innerwebs, listen to music, and just lounge around. As for the music, I'm going through my iTunes and trying to listen to stuff that I don't listen to often or haven't in a while. So, what's playing right now? My Primus collection. I had forgotten just how awesome they were. Or are. Good stuff. Clearly, I had great taste in high school.
Anyway, I'm done thinking for now. Back to lounging. Maybe I'll cruise eBay or Amazon. Something.

Ahh, hell week! The memories come flooding back. I'm in my own personal hell and it's called 'FUCKING ANTIGONE!!!!" I have a chorus of 8 men, 4 of whom are in way over their musical heads. My entire bass section is struggling and pulling us all way behind schedule. Have you ever felt like you've ordered the moon and got delivered cheese? Yeah, well, that's my basses. They pretty much skated through their auditions, did just fine with that, but now that we're deep in the rehearsal process it's evident that they are in over their heads far beyond their abilities. Shame on me for thinking: "No problem! I'm a teacher! They seem teachable. I'll just do what I do and TEACH." Unfortunately, it's not going too well and I'm about ready to hook up a vodka IV any minute now. Maybe I'll just settle for one of those tall boys you mentioned earlier.
But! all complaining aside.... are you digging on the Olympics as much as I am. I'm pretty much a junkie for them. I'm up til 2 a.m. consistently watching badminton and other bizarre and useless stuff. What is it about the Olympics that is so captivating???
Good luck with your hell week. Have fun! (you know you will!)
