I had a fantastic long weekend - booked an extra day off and went up to catch up with ma. I always wrestle with calling the house "my parents' place" or "my mom's place" since my father passed away. (The grammarian in me realizes I can continue to call it "my parent's place" and just move the apostrophe so nobody will know.) It was four...

I am, by any reasonable estimation, kind of an idiot.

Still, there are few things which I am reasonably certain are true. This is pretty basic stuff. You should eat well and sleep well. You should brush your teeth. God damn it, you've got to be kind. That sort of thing.

This past weekend, I was reminded by a very dear friend that life is...

Okay, I'm apparently going to Germany at the end of the month.

Pointers regarding cool stuff to do in Hamburg as well as general travel tips are greatly appreciated. smile

Neato. How did you end up with a trip to Germany? Is it for work or pleasure (or both)?
_sarah_:
I've never been to Europe either. I'd really love to visit someday; I don't even really care which country I go to.

Peculiar travel suggestions are dancing lessons from God.
--Kurt Vonnegut

As always, that phrase seems to fit.

If I'd known that the only meaningful vacation time I'd have in my professional life would be periods of unemployment, I think I might have made some very different choices starting somewhere in High School. Granted, I'm either masochistic enough, or just a big enough goddamned fool, that...

I'm sure I dance MUCH better than a weapons designer.

I have plenty of excuses. I just need the cash. wink I'm trying to figure out my budget for the summer.

I do have some vacation time coming, so I could do a long weekend fairly easily. It's really high on my priority list. Trust me. smile I'm dying to meet you guys.

Back from the 2008 NAMM show, abandoning once again sweet California for the frozen climes of the fabled Canadas.

The trip down was fine, as I think my body is naturally on Pacific Time, and a 3 hour offset just feels right to me.

To the person seated to my left on that flight:

Dear asshole,

First of all, there is no goddamned reason to...

When you have a famous band, in your first video you should all dress in pink and green bodyglove wetsuits as a tribute to Living Color. I actually saw them at the very first lollapalooza.

I remember that song won like every year end guitar mag poll for best solo.

It's killing me.

I've come up with some fantastic band names in the past week or two.

I just have to come up with a band.

Coheed on Monday with Dholokov, which I'm anticipating will be an absolute blast.

Entirely too long since I've posted here, I suspect.

Contrary to my last post, I finally did get a wireless networking up and happening, although the accursed PS3 doesn't like it, despite being hard-wired into the router. Oh well. At least the Macbook and the Wii see it, so that's nice.

Of recent pop-cultury style stuff... the girl and I spent Harry Potter day on...

Had I but known I'd someday join this her pornosite and make your acquaintance I might've hung onto that Don Ross CD that was itself given to me by someone who'd had their fill of it. It went at a garage sale some time ago.

Andy McKee is neat, and I'm always pleased not to be subjected to rhythmically challenged hyper-frettery when someone gives me a name to check out on Youtube*, but he's just not my cup of tea.

Duff's Wings (mentioned above by my intended) is on Bayview, which'd be easily reached on a school night and would even permit all to imbibe!

*Not that you'd be so crass, but if you know what I mean.

aww thank you, its like ppl tell me the jerks get the good girls. thanks!

That's it.

I'm convinced God just doesn't ever want me to have a wireless network.

The Airport Extreme I bought a few weeks ago was slower than anything and I needed to completely rebuild my network every morning. Plus, it didn't work with my Xbox 360, and nuts to that.

I went out and bought the Linksys that my gf uses... and my Macbook Pro...

Excellent! With the discounts I believe we clear almost enough to pay the person who'll put it in a box and drop it in the outgoing mail bin for their 12 seconds of labour. In the event of a papercut we lose our shirts. Fucking wizards.
