I don't tell people about this blog so if you are reading this you are in the minority. Its more of a documenting of things for myself really. Something about having a few other people read it also satisfies some weird desire for connectedness that I doubt is experienced by just me.
so if you are one of the handful of people who do, thank you. I probably lost most of you awhile back anyway.
But yeah Dec 3 marks the two year mark. Hurrah!

This blog is lazy
I am posting some lame ass blog posts lately. Shame shame. Lets get a bit more thorough.
Thanksgiving was interesting. We rearranged the whole thing to be with my grandmother in Houston. Her foot is having problems and she is actually at the doctor as I type this. This has been a recurring thing so I hope she gets some answers today.
Jared/Kelly, Michelle and my mother spent Thanksgiving evening over at Kelly's families house. Kinda strange to be with so many practical strangers but everyone was in good spirits. Also strange to see the life of a family so different than yours. It was full of intense family togetherness complete with cutesy inside family jokes, praying in a circle thanking God for being Americans and little kids running around. It was nice but quite foreign to me. A few times I wondered if I would ever have something like this. Or if I would ever want something like this.
The show was okay. I screwed up more than I should have. A lot of people made it out which was nice but we all feel a bit down on ourselves. It was not like the last couple shows where we just crushed it.
Hanging with a new lady. She came to the show also. What I like about her is her lack of pretension even though she is very attractive. Deep down shes a country girl from a small hick town so we share the same enthusiasm for Target and old school Nintendo. When I introduced myself to her awhile back I had no clue if she was going to be rude but I went for it and it went over well. Who knows? Shes a bit flirty but I have not staked any claims and honestly so am I, so I am not really upset about it. There is no question shes a Good Girl and she expresses her desire for something meaningful. Of course I am taking it slow. But shes cool and that's enough for now.
Listening to an online radio station that just relocated to Austin from Cincinnati www.woxy.com. They have played us 3 times so far and its pretty great because they are a very respected presence in the music world.
More stuff...
>> I've been watching a lot of Hulu. Hulu is great.
>> I need more money.
>> The movie Taken was good. Liam Neeson kicks so much ass.
>> My iphone has revolutionized bathroom time for me
>> I am flossing regularly
>> I will soon be taking sign language classes with my friend Michelle.
>> Today I have no emotion. Just here. Feels strange.

4 weeks on the radio
cant believe Andy Langer has played us every week for the last month. We missed it last night but someone texted me saying he said something nice about us again. I highly doubt it will go beyond 4 weeks but its more than an honor to us.

Old School Nintendo
Man I really want one. I am going to get one. Then I will play mario 3, metroid, etc.
Good shows on the horizon. Next week a super cool venue I have wanted to play awhile called Scoot Inn.
Last show sucked. The guy running our sound was at least 65 years old and had NO CLUE what the hell he was doing. Our sound suffered. Badly.
CD release later this month. We are looking at a write up in the Austinist. Andy Langer had us on his show 3 weeks in a row. We are making friends with cool venues and people with clout.
The weather is nice. I've been hanging with a super cute gal who has expressed interest in partaking in my nintendo cravings.
Finally, I have started having an otis spunkmeyer muffin with my coffee every morning. Holy CRAP these things are something else.

stop dreaming about the house!
I keep dreaming about the house. I am inside or in the yard. I really miss it. I had another dream I went back and looked at the aftermath. It was just a barren hill. Its like memories of a person.
Im so thankful for having experienced all that. Its a safe little comfort to me. i want to have something mean that much to me again someday.

halloween you never fail to disappoint
great weekend. Boat party Friday. Kick ass house party Saturday. We were on the radio Sunday. Um yeah. Good stuff.
Hearing Andy Langer say our band name and EP title was the highlight. That dude has the coolest radio voice ever.
