And as our hope dissolves...
...we'll twist that knife again.
So, it has been a while since my last entry and, actually, some things have happenened.
-- Got my tax refund [both state and federal]
-- Bought a laptop. I'm pretty much in love. Although, it has taken some getting used to. Now, I'm converting my desktop to something of a studio machine; it'll handle music and music alone.
-- Watched 25th Hour and Road to Perdition several times each. I had forgotten how incredible both of these movies are.
-- Found out my love interest is cheating on her boyfriend/baby daddy with her boss, who also happens to be -my- boss. Yeah. It was sad before; now, it's just pathetic. I have removed myself from the whole situation.
-- I will now be starting school in March. Such a hassle, this whole college thing. The enrollment aspect, at least. I'm sure once the classes actually start, I'll be fine.
-- Received the Genghis Tron EP. Definitely worth the money. Plus, Zach handled my package, and we all know how good that makes one feel. O_o
-- Destroyed my amp. I made the mistake of leaving it in the middle of my room and it paid the price. Actually, several things paid the price. I have learned not to navigate a room devoid of light. Y'see, I somehow managed to get my foot stuck in the hole in the back of the amp. As I was falling, I grabbed for my computer chair. The chair stopped my fall... for half a second. My relief turned to more worry as the chair slid away from me. I went down. Hard. I had an amp stuck to my foot, cigarette butts on my hand/arm [from the flailing after the chair moved], and the door to my computer cabinet was ripped off the hinges. When the chair started to move, it had my momentum behind it: those hinges never stood a chance. Luckily, the door has been fixed, the butts collected. The amp, however, did not fair so well. The sacrifices one makes for music.
So, yeah, it has been an interesting couple of weeks. I'll be getting a raise soon, which is hot. But, we're losing our commission, which is pretty much the anti-hot. Corporate mergers suck. Actually, corporations suck. But, a corporation also pays my bills, so there you go.
It needs to hurry up and be Opening Day for baseball. Yeah, I know: sports. But, most of you people know I'm obsessed with the Red Sox, so this shouldn't be a huge surprise. T minus 53 days until Opening Day, to be exact. Color me excited.
Speaking of countdowns, here are some other key ones:
-- 7 days until Saw II on DVD
-- 22 days until the first Silence, Traitor demo will be complete. It should've been completed already, but, well, I'm a procrastinator. It will be finished.
-- 42 days until Capote on DVD [which is bullshit, because up until a few days ago, every site said this movie was due in February]
-- 48 days until I start college. F'reals, this time. Which means I have 48 days to read as many books as possible.
-- 109 days until the Maryland Deathfest. Necrophagist! Muhammed Suicmez up close and personal. I'll have to try and videotape the licks he'll be playing.
I need to finish cleaning the kitchen. And speaking of kitchens... Rachel Ray is hot. She can cook dinner for me anyday. Chyes.
