we stayed up late drinking last night. just me, matt, and paul. we got pretty fired up and i ended up shirtless and bellowing about god knows what. we closed the night out at the twig and leaf, indulging in a mass amount of cheesy twig taters. nothing beats the twig after a night full of drinking.

today i've had a tiring day of doing nothing. i went and picked up my younger cousin when i got up. we hung with matt and paul, playing guitar and video games.

while i was searching the small brown bike site for the exact date of their show in chicago with the casket lottery, i was stoked to uncover an advance download from their coming record, "dead reckoning." it's a track called hideaway, and it rocks…just what those guys are known for doing. i can't wait to see them on the 12th of next month.

i'm officially sick now, i think. the sniffles have come on hardcore, and they're not abating. i've been expecting this, really. this damn cold has been trying to sneak up on me for two weeks now. just in time for me to go back to work. yay.

everyone went out to see requiem for a dream. i stayed home. mainly because of the illness, but also partly due to the fact that i'm a brokeass. it's okay, though…i could use the downtime.
