3 days off and not a lot going on, thank God...saw a southside oi! band last night called "fear city", which is always a good time...then to irishfest at gaelic park tomorrow with the family for some trad. irish music and flogging molly...
the division i work for has been absorbed by a bigger division and my group has moved...there is tighter quarters and thinner walls and my computer faces out towards a walkway, so no more whiling away the hours in front of suicide girls, art and/or tattoo websites and myspace...i may actually have to do work! so my already infrequent updates are about to get a...

what's up?
Cool, i'm glad you dig it. The same goes for the stuff you sent me.
I still regret that my tape deck broke before the swap. My best shit is on vinyl.
I just got back recently. It's only temporary, though; I finished recording some old stuff i had on the back burner and now i wanna get it out to people across the U.S to people who know their shit about punk, so natuarlly i thought of Apu.
how has the group been?

OFFICE SPACE references make everything better... i'm 24, i didn't end up being the design manager, which is half good and half bad, i'm now being stretched between the two owners to work on entirely separate projects at the same time, both of which really need someone full-time, if not a small staff...
i didn't dig The Life Aquatic very much. it had charm, but it felt like Andersen was going to the well on it. Bill Murray was incredible, it was well-acted and well-done, but I felt that it was missing a story.

life aquatic was cool. it started slow but all the different characters grew on me as the movie progressed. have you seen "the man who knew too little" with Bill Murray? It's one of my favorites with him in it.
i got "the talk" at work the other day "you don't seem passionate about your job...is there anything wrong?"...blah blah blah...what really burns my bottom is that my assistant manager (assistant to the manager for you "office" watchers) came out to see me and my work at the last art show i was in and she told my boss and he was all like "she...

man have i been negative about everything lately...i can't seem to work up the energy to feel positive about anything...i always feel this way after big art fair weekends...i get so geared up, all the preparations that are involved, and then to have everything go back to the way it was after...like nothing happened, i can't take it...i am getting less patient the older i...

that sucks dude. i totally hear you on the "how much time" thing... working in corporate jobs or even, working at anything but what you really want to do is a very trying experience. most nights, it takes everything i've got to draw for an hour before i fall asleep.
keep your chin up.
if you want it bad enough you gotta go after it.

the weekend was mad and i lost my voice...NOVA was crowded everyday and it got a lot of good press...so it was a lot of fun.
