It has been some time since my last post worth mentioning. I have been scarce. Here's what's up:
1. I have a pretty ferocious strain of the Piriformis muscle, located in my backside/hip area. Running as much as I have, with a slightly fucked-up gait, has torqued my leg/hips a bit. This strained that muscle, which, in turn, pinched a nerve, and fucked me up. I went to the doctor, and then was sent to the physical therapist, and I have been told that it will be a few weeks at least before I am allowed to run again. I have been going out of my mind, because it is my most favorite of all things that I was able to do, and now, I have all sorts of empty, unused, down time to fill while I wait.
This week, I am gonna start alternating water running and intensive high-rep weight work to keep somewhat sharp, and pass the time in a productive fashion. I still can't help but be depressed as hell, though.
2. "Cloverfield" was pretty damn good, but, the real story for me was the teaser for the new Star Trek film that preceeded it. Though pleased with the casting, I have been increasingly skeptical of most news I have heard from the film. The view of the ship presented in the trailer made me a little more uneasy, about not only the content of the film, but, also the limits of my nerd-ish-ness. I won't go into details here, but ask me in person if you'd like. Then laugh at me. I'm hopeless.
3. As for good news, The Helm will be trying out a bass player this week. We all hung out the other night, and things were rad. I hope for the best.
4. Wentworth is coming back to the house. Since he is the cutest little dog ever, we are thrilled.
5. News from Portishead:
"We're pleased to announce that we'll be releasing our album, titled THIRD. on April 14th 2008. The album has 11 tracks and is 49 minutes 13 seconds long."
and, The Breeders:
"...have announced a new album, Mountain Battles, to release in 2008. It's expected to release on April 7th in the UK and April 8th in the States."
Awesome.
I'm done for now.
