First, apologies to greenpurple for not getting over to visit her before I left on Thursday. I got so damned busy the last day that I didn't even have time to call her until the last minute and then I was already on my way out. I'll come over when I get back, I promise! I need to see if my other helmet fits you and we'll take a little ride while your SO ( Read more... )

 ...I thought, well, I'll just play a little bit of Rock Band.

An hour later, I've thrown my shirt off across the room and am rocking out for the third time on Soundgarden's "Black Hole Sun."  It can't be so much work that I should be sweating like this.  It's completely ridiculous.

Damn, this is fun, but now I'm going to take a shower.

  I didn't stay home. ( so this was my day... )

   I enjoy playing Rock Band (drums, mostly), but after a little bit I start feeling odd.  It's kind of like drinking by yourself - feels a little odd, sad maybe ( Read more... )

...that covers it completely.

Thank you for listening to my long-ass rant (or reading, I guess I mean), mcpreacher  - I'd say you're a gentleman and a scholar, but that would totally ruin your rep.  You're a smartass, you're funny, and I'm glad you're my friend.  Oh shit, there goes your reputation again.

Sometimes you just need to "step away ( Read more... )

   Poetry will follow this, you have been warned.  There are many things germinating in my busy brain (ADD will do that) and I'm going to pull some stuff and decide what's going to be next for a poetry-sized piece.

Today.  Shoveled, went skiing at Wachusett around 4pm.  I got there and there were a BAZILLION (yes, I counted) people there so I had ( Read more... )

     The person I was worrying about last night sent me a reply today.  Turns out I was right and wrong.  He's around, even working at the same place (albeit in a different department) and has been going through a lot in the time since we last talked.  But we're going to get together and catch up, probably this evening when he gets off work ( Read more... )

    My new skis came today.  I now have a pair of 158s and a pair of 110s, so there's a fair bit of difference between the two.  I'm not used to so much board being in front of my boots.   Looking forward to taking them out tomorrow morning.  Should be a LOT more stable at speed (which isn't a huge amount for me, but it will make such a difference ( Read more... )

...we had our 30/30 poetry show.  A bunch of poets who did the 30/30 poetry writing thing that Nicole organized read in slots slightly longer than the usual in an extended open mic (no slam, that was the feature, all those people).  As was noted, we had over two hours of poetry with a five minute break in the (sort of) middle and everyone was ( Read more... )

    I so love my Cantab family.  They have brought the love for me this week and lately in general - I'm digging it.  Completely.

Oh yeah, and
