yeah…i spent the last part of the weekend in ohio, helping someone move out and back to the motherland. as often happens in this world, timetables got fucked up and i didn't make it home in time for band practice, so we had to reschedule for tonight. i got a steak dinner out of the deal, so it's not all bad, right?

oh…wait…i also had a huge allergy attack which has left me with a sore throat/possible sinus infection this morning. great parting gift, ohio. fuck you, too.

friday started with a bang: i lost my job. i spent the rest of the night getting shithammered with mark and brooks. you know…"boys night out" or some shit.

anyone have any job openings for a newly employed sorta-graphic designer-slash-general computer monkey? i also have experience in the music journalism/criticism field and i've been known to snap a few pictures every now and then.

saturday evening was the wolverine brass/black cross show, which was really good. i snapped some photos with the cameraphone and they're now up in both of the galleries linked above.

and a few minutes ago, i accidentally stuck my finger in my eye. i tell you what…this month has been the shittiest i can fucking remember, and it just won't go quietly. i'm almost afraid to leave the damn house.

added a whole slew of photos from the Black Cross show tonight. oddly enough, i wasn't able to get any shots of Black Cross. added were shots of Wolverine Brass and The Legendary Lords (original Lords line-up), reformed for two songs right before Black Cross played.

hell…the earliest two photos from the night were uploaded directly from my phone while i was still at the show. that's how big of a geek i am.

still playing around with flickr. I'm gonna start adding my joycam photos intermittently, just for something to do.

other than that…not much going on. i had fun hanging out with paul for his birthday on friday. good times.

hopefully someday i'll have a job where i make enough money to live on…

i've been messing around on flickr, adding functionality to blog photos from there and whatnot, so i thought i'd make a bipolar post about it.

i've added a bunch of photos, over the last couple of days, so if you're interested, check it out. i'm even considering mirroring my cameraphone gallery over there.

been a long time since we've rock and rolled, huh? I just wanted to check in with various top…somethings for 2005, the (incredibly shitty) year that was.

Top 5 Albums of 2005:
Boris – Pink
The Constantines – Tournament of Hearts
Spoon – Gimme Fiction
Queens of the Stone Age – Lullabies to Paralyze

Best Movie I Saw This Year:
Batman Begins (I saw it twice in the same day)

Good Night and Good Luck (I should really go see that fuckin' movie)

Best Show L&N Played All Year:
Joe's birthday party at Uncle P's. A close runner-up would be the show with Breather Resist and Lords, but only because we broke up immediately after we got done playing.

Favorite New (to me) Restaurant:
Stan's Fish Sandwich or #1 Asian Buffet. It's a toss-up.

Favorite Band of the Moment:
Boris.

Best Reason For Not Updating This Blog:
Didn't feel like my life was very interesting. That and the bitter, bitter self-hatred.
