In which I somehow manage to fill my days but I don’t feel like I’m actually doing anything.
Just a few rando things before the video:

My netbook is all better after the rebuild. Yay!
I sorta-kinda have a boyfriend, but we never see each other because we both gig, he’s on a pretty committed night schedule, and [...]

February 13th, 2010

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 different [...]

January 2nd, 2010

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 it [...]

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: it [...]

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 about four [...]

September 10th, 2009

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 the [...]

August 28th, 2009

In which I’m planning my weekends.
I agreed to work 5 hours tomorrow from 8 to 1, so I’ll not be going out tonight. (Not that I would have been anyway; I just wanted to sound like I have choices!) I’m thinking of watching Mad Men (season 1, episode 7) and doing some knitting for a [...]

August 20th, 2009

In which you hear all about the fascinating stuff we rockstars do on Wednesday evenings.
Yesterday was that dreaded day, the one where I had to actually follow through on my promise to go to band practice and learn some songs.
I hate band practice. I always have. Practicing is boring because it doesn’t involve an audience, [...]

August 17th, 2009

In which I had an awesome weekend, even though I never did get around to being a consumer.
I was gonna buy a bicycle this weekend, but I didn’t. By the time I got moving on Saturday, any good bikes over at my co-worker’s street-long yard sale would have been gone so I didn’t even bother [...]

Continue reading about Weekend, lovely weekend!

In which my weekend was one part really good… and one part REALLY bad.
Friday was nasty. Whoo boy. Out of the blue I had a panic attack for the first time in a really long time and it sucked. And all because my heart decided to go arrhythmic. I sat at my desk in my [...]

July 24th, 2009

In which I do open mics two nights in a row. Hell yeah.
Last night RB picked me up from work and drove me to Richland. We ate dinner at the BK Lounge. He had a double bacon cheeseburger. (WTF is up with restaurants these days? Apparently it’s getting damn near impossible to order anything with [...]

In which I had great big fun yesterday! There was music, there were old friends, there were new friends, and there was vodka!
Since Left Coast Girlie and I are going to see The Taming of the Shrew together next month, sometimes we have to get on IM and congratulate one another on our cleverness. We [...]
