So last night we went to see Foreigner at the Clearfield County Fair. I wasn't expecting much since Lou Gramm left the band, but Kelly Hansen sounds amazingly like Lou Gramm. They mostly played classics and only subjected us to one new song, which sounded remarkably like a mash-up of their oldies with 2 words repeated over and over again ( Read more... )

I just got back from having the carpet cleaned in my old apartment. We just have a little more cleaning to do tonight, just a few items from a special checklist from the apartment complex, then the move-out is pretty much done, aside from handing over the keys. I'm so glad we're at the end because I'm really tired from all that cleaning ( ( Read more... )

So I ended up taking a sick day and staying in bed a few extra hours. A little while after I got up I caught the cleaning bug and started giving ( Read more... )

I always wanted one of those permanent accounts, so now I have one. I'm here forever, bwa ha hah! Okay, I now return you to my regularly scheduled lack of interesting posts.

Actually, I'll take a moment to point out that I've been on an Inkubus Sukkubus listening and collecting kick recently. For lack of a better description they're a pagan/ ( Read more... )

Rollerblading in 84 degree (F) weather sure is a lot harder than in 70 degree weather. I only went about 2/3 of the usual way, partly because of an annoying obstacle on the only smooth path at the halfway point. Avoiding it with these new super-slick bearings is tricky, to say the least. I posted it at my photoblog that I hope to return to ( Read more... )
