In which I drop by briefly on my way to a gig. The co-op finally emailed Friday afternoon: they thanked me but declined, deciding instead to hire from within. I am having a full-on romance, complete with poetry and chocolates and necking and stuff. It’s awesome. We’re apart this weekend, though, because we’re both gigging […]
In which there’s no new job, but there is a new beau. The co-op hasn’t called. My last contact with them was on January 19th; it’s been nearly three weeks. If they were going to hire me, they’d have done so by now. I’ve been applying for three jobs every week just like I’m supposed […]
In which I had a great time on New Year’s Eve at Pub 21 with the band. Load-in was at 4:30, but I was late because I had to take a paper copy of my resume (and cover letter and references) to WorkSource to apply for a job. WTF? Why wouldn’t they let me email […]
In which I spend a lot of time online, reading stuff. And then I write about it! It’s important that we all become aware of, and defend against, the “natural family revival.” There are some batshit crazy Xians out there, and they’re all banding together – some even with (gasp!) Muslims – to bring back […]
In which I have a fairly rotten cold. And a lot of fun, too, but the fun sure ain’t helping my cold any. Thursday, I was pretty much wrecked at work because I’d decided to party the night before, but it turns out that I’m actually even better at phone-based IT work when I’m exhausted: […]
In which I review my weekend. Thursday, I was on the cover of the Marquee. Considering the lame interview I gave her, my girl Sheila did a really fantastic job on the article! I sound totally interesting! Friday, I fronted the Coyote Kings at Merchants on Main street. The place was packed. People started dancing […]
In which I’ve seen in the past week both of my parents and all of their siblings and nearly all of their siblings’ spouses and children. For no particular reason, both of my parents came to town to visit this week. They’ve been divorced for twenty-seven years, so it’s strange that they should both have […]
In which this is a very special OMG SO MUCH FAMILY edition. Friday after work I jogged home and took a 3-minute shower. The boys picked me up in the band van at 6:30 and we drove to an RV park in Wallula to play the opening night of a biker rally. When we arrived, […]
In which I’m a little worried about my instrument. I’m playing the Rally In The Valley – a biker rally, natch – tomorrow night. Outside. At night. It will most likely be both damp and chilly: not good conditions for a weak voice. Then I’m supposed to play a chichi benefit gig on Saturday afternoon […]
In which I post about my life on Facebook, because the Internet is self-reflective like that. I don’t know if it’s The CurseTM coming or I’ve just used up the day’s compassion for sloppy thinking, but when I logged into Facebook and saw the utterly meaningless meme traveling through it, I got a little worked […]
