How've you been? I don't get on here as much as I used to. Sorry. fucking failboat has taken over the internet. I miss MySpace.
and now a brief update, my band (http://www.mobiusbandwidth.com/mojoceratops.html) has a "new" CD out now, available on CDbaby.com, http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/mojoceratops it's a live recording that isn't actually that new, but it's newly released, so it's new! :D
I have a gig on the 20th in RI with the Diamond Dogs, a Bowie tribute act, looking forward to that. my drummer from my band booked a show the same day, but I couldn't bail on these guys, even though my band is a higher priority, I made a commitment, you can't commit me to something without asking me first. hmm. what does it say about me that I have a hard time remembering how to spell commitment? :p
weird dream last night, partly involving a hot girl I know, not someone on LJ, which of course didn't go anywhere, thought it seemed like it was about to. haven't had that kind of dream in a while, guess I was overdue. then there was stuff about my parent's house. sometimes I don't know what's stranger, my waking life or my sleeping life. seriously.
finally rented my 3rd floor for next rental season, no thank to the countless realtors who ceaselessly called and emailed me, fuck you guys, so much stress, so little sleep. next year I am ignoring you until august 15th if I don't find someone on my own, HOURS wasted with them for nothing, and for no pay to me either. life is too fucking short for that kind of bullshite.
Sharon is in Scotland by now, Ireland and Scotland for a month, gave a talk at the biggest Celtic conference in the world, in Ireland a couple of weeks ago, which went pretty well for her.
someone stole my $300 camera out of my van, they took the keys off the hook, also the 3rd floor's $200 GPS. so it was either someone who lives in the house, or a guest of theirs who knows where the car keys are kept. very disturbing. I put up a note saying if they don't rematerialise I will file a police report and start enforcing the parking policies as specified in the lease which do not actually allow for any guest parking at all.
something profound and profoundly ...indescribable, happened recently which I am not going to talk about here, and haven't actually been able to talk to anyone about, not even my private brain care specialist, still trying to process it. ok that solves that, my waking life is far stranger than my dream/sleeping life. and that's pretty strange, believe me.
well this is already less brief than I thought it would be, sorry. some major hurdles out of my way I feel slightly relaxed compared to last week, but there's so much to do I really oughtn't. been watching Reaper, on Hulu, season one only, very good show, I know I say I don't watch TV and I really don't, I don't think that counts, but then "TV" has changed so much I'm not sure what that means any more to say. it's the first "show" I've watched in ages, I watched Dead Like Me, and Wonderfalls online, but other than that, literally nothing since the X files was cancelled. I still haven't connected my digital converter antenna box thing to my tv, and haven't watched a video in over 2 years at home.
much to do, no end of things really. I should do this more often. I do blog, I just don't post it all. no sense boring you.
