first off: i've recently posted a live ramones set from 1986 over at transmission3000. you know what to do.

on to the events at hand…

a good friend of mine was fired from work yesterday. this came as quite a surprise, and there seems to be a bunch of hullaballoo surrounding the whole ordeal. this has just left me feeling more paranoid than ever around the workplace. watching my back…checking the corners…making sure the spies aren't coming down on me.

the hollywood stock exchange has completely sucked me into it's deadly embrace. false fortunes, made and lost by the second…

on the plus side, work has been incredibly slow. honestly, my life is going incredibly slow. i seem to be stuck in a constant state of melancholy, no matter how hard i try to shake it. i've got a couple of trips on the books for the next couple of weeks, so maybe that'll help. i'm going up to indianapolis on friday to see the world's greatest rock band, fugazi. say what you will, but you cannot tell me that they don't lay down the rock like nobody's business. we're recording the show for transmission3000, so expect to see it up there by sometime late next week.

and then in a couple of weeks, i head back out to new england. new hampshire, to be exact. i'll be out there for a long weekend, enjoying springtime in the north east united states. can't beat that, huh? it looks like i'll be escaping derby hysteria by just a hair, as i'll be out of town for the entire derby weekend. ironic, considering leslie was just discussing a possible visit to the louisville area to join in on the madness that is derby. oh well…such is life.
