wow. i haven't updated in a couple of days. i guess i've been really busy or something.

i'm sitting here waiting for paul to come over so we can go to lunch. we're supposed to be headed up to cincinnati to see hey mercedes tonight, but we don't really know where jess is. this is pretty typical for the morning of a road trip day. no sweat.

matt got quite the surprise yesterday when we sprung a certain miss perry on him. sharon and i decided that it would be more fun if the entire thing were kept secret, so it was hush-hush all the way. matt almost blew it all when he made contact from work, telling me and paul (who was in on it) that he was planning on going out to eat with some friends from work. we were expecting sharon at any time, so we had to try to convince matt that it was in his best interest to come home, without revealing the "big secret". paul stepped in and got "influential" and the whole matter was worked out. matt headed home, post-haste, and got here a scant few minutes before sharon. drinks were had, pictures were taken, video of me talking to julia on the phone was shot. all in all, a good visit.

for the record: sharon lives in california, and this trip was planned out a long time ago. it's one of those sweeping "visit all the friends in the midwest" kinda things.

everything else in my life has been on the constant up-and-down. i don't know what to think about most of it, but i guess it'll all sort itself out in time. and i'll be god damned if i don't feel like doogie houser typing out his journal thing at the end of every show…

where's vinnie?
