Work yesterday was long... but mostly easy. Didn't run into too much hassle with the parade after all...

 

Today will be weird. I'm doing sound for some indie band ("My Brightest Diamond") that apparently nobody's ever heard of, other than the person that booked it.

Less than 150 tickets out for the show.

 

Well... at least it's not a high-pressure situation. :dozey:

2 weeks until fireworks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

might be getting ticket to see disturbed, slipknot and another band in august. i lost 2 ****in vacation days cause i didnt put in for my days off soon enough, 23rd i get more so i'm going to be an ******* and use them all up on the 13th of aug for my mom's bday, the 15th for Star Wars Clone Wars!!! and some other days i dont know yet heheheheehdefnsaklmndjk!

 

Still playing SWG. it is so much better than it was last year, much better being in a large guild with at least 3 people on at all times. :D (not the same people either lol)

 

though i definetely need to take a break from it on my days off instead of just sitting down the entire day...i got fishing license and a new pole so maybe on tueday i'll go fishing and catch some fishies. :D

Concert went well last night. The bands were actually OK,.. insofar as they were both fairly easy to work with, and that I didn't actually hate the music of either (though I don't picture myself running out and buying a ticket of a CD of either any time soon...)

 

The turnout was more than a little lame, however... and I actually really felt bad for the girl who booked it (she of all the emotional drama in edlib's life of a few months back.)

 

Another indie artist band tonight: Yael Naim. Seen her on TV, anyway... so the sales should be a little better.

 

Working tomorrow now. That was supposed to be my one day off in these 2 weeks. Damn.

 

Oh well... Looks like vacation is truly over.

 

Maybe I'll treat myself for my birthday this year. I haven't bought a new piece of musical gear in a very long time... I think I'm way overdue.

 

:joy:

Yesterday went fairly smoothly... except I was there at 9:30 in the morning, and nothing really began until 1. That kinda pissed me off... just a wee bit, you might say.

 

Saw 'Get Smart' last night. I thought it was pretty good. A couple of weak spots, but mostly funny, and more fun than not. Anne Hathaway is very hawt in it too...

 

George Carlin has died. This makes me very sad. He was a big influence on how I view the world.

 

:(

 

Working tonight. Not looking forward to it.

Yea I heard about George Carlin dying yesturday. He was still spunky and Crochity at 71. With the rough life he had with drugs and smoking it is a surprise he lasted so long.

 

But for one thing, the guy had a gift to make us laugh.... the world is a bit sadder this day.

Carlin shaped the way I think, view the world, my intonation and tone. He is the driving force behind my interest in politics and religions, the nation-state dilemma and other interesting philosophical topics. A man like that is rare to find, especially who can present such topics in an amusing and interesting way to make people think about the world as it is, and how to change it.

 

He will be missed, a loss for all mankind.

INSANE FREAKIN' WEATHER this afternoon. Scary ****!

Hail. Thunder & lightning. Torrential downpours, coming down sideways.

 

I was waiting for the twisters...

 

6 Marimbas on stage tonight. Somehow they fit... just not comfortably.

been a bad 24 hours

 

Yesturday in my golf league I sliced 3 balls into woods, and I only found 2. Misquito's (our state bird) decided to feed on me while I was playing and searching

 

Then I decided to go to work today on my bike, and when I arrived at work (on time) I realized i forgot my security card and couldn't access the building. Ended up biking back and took my car because I was now late for work.

 

Then the owner did her typical seagull style management directed towards me (come in, make a bunch of noise, crap over everything and leave)

It was... slightly.

 

Long day, though. I was exhausted all day, too.

 

Taking today off. Gonna rest up. I'm an old man, after all...

 

Maybe I'll go out and look at TVs later today.

 

(P.S. - Happy Birthday, Rogue 9! The only one I never have to look up every year...)
