this will forever be known as "the post where i say good things about second story man." or something.

last night after work i rode out to the brycc house to attend the rainer maria show. let's face it…i paid $8 at the door to see second story man again. they're really a fun band of good friends and all that business. i've decided that their music is kinda like music written by a group of bipolar 6 year-olds with a.d.d., but never losing that razor sharp edge. they have about a million parts to each song, but they all seem to be able to grab you with a sweet poppy hook all the way through to the end.

rainer maria was okay. i had never heard them or seen them live. they were entertaining.

the novas (a newer band from the area) opened the show and closed their set with a spot on cover of "like a prayer" by madonna. really clever. i was pleased with their set and i plan on keeping my eye on them (not just because one of the girls in the band was kinda cute, mind you. beside that, i think they're all 15).

other than that, it's payday. i'm at work waiting on 2:30 so i can run downstairs to pick up my check. i came in early to check email, but the damn internet was down, so i sat around bullshitting with my various co-workers. the internet finally came up (hence the post), so i was able to get that email thing out of the way for the day.

and now it's time to go get some lunch and pay some bills.

fuck…that only sounds half fun.
