i was supposed to go to chicago to see hot snakes, this weekend. joe and brooksie both backed out. i tried calling numerous people to try and find someone to go up there with. i stalled out with seth who backed out after i had already picked him up. splendid. needless to say, i wasted hours on this bullshit and ended up not going. which, as you can probably imagine, i am still incredibly thrilled about.

instead of going to chicago, i spent the day sitting at home, playing grand theft auto: san andreas. running around the streets of los santos, "blastin' fools" and takin' their "scrilla" was somewhat therapeutic.

but it didn't soften the blow when there were multiple people at the bar later that night that told me "you should have called me! i would have gone!"

damn it.

oh well. according to their website, they'll be coming back around in the spring. unfortunately, they had a very limited live 7" they were selling on this tour, which means i'll probably never get one.

so, in preparation for the trip, i burned a few new cds for the car, one of which is all the nirvana records and some assorted b-sides. i'm really looking forward to that fucking box set.

i'm also looking forward to halo 2, which comes out tonight/tomorrow. i'll be going down to the ebgames with danny and blaine at around midnight to pick it up, then we'll be deathmatching the shit out of each other until the sun comes up, most likely.

as long as i'm sitting here, bored at work, i may as well try to catch a nap or something…
