mm, there is nothing quite exhilerating like riding a motorcyle to work on November 1st. Just an insane thought really. Sadly though, this will be my last ride of the season. I'll probably go to the shop today and pick up some fuel stabilizer and pull the battery this weekend. It is a sad thought indeed.

i read the lyrics for Stay Six by Hey Mercedes and good grief...what a most excellent song!!! they are rapidly becoming one of my favorite bands of all time!!

PS..that's on their EP, not the new album. for those out there not familiar with the band.
The Idea: Go into restroom and take coffee mug to get cleaned afterwards
The Execution: Leave coffee mug outside and hopefully not be accosted by fellow restroom go-ers
The Approach: Enter bathroom...another bathroom go-er...take a stall...and stall till other exits.
The Spoiler: Coffee mug has my last name on it...bathroom go-er re-enters restroom as I wash hands
The Humor: I was called an aristocrat.
The Result: I was accosted.

CPR: 110% [thanks due to the new fugazi album and the new Burning Airlines album]
PPR: 100%

well, i'm waiting to leave for travel here... i was ready at 8 sharp but we seem to be a little delayed... its odd working with people on the floor above me, so often i'm just out of the loop cause they forget to call! just like my parents.

in other news, played more guitar... i'm making up (and recording) riffs like i was twenty again! (that's an old-man joke for you sunday afternoon foozeball vets). now we'll see how i do at writing lyrics in an empty hotel room.

still hyped for the big show this friday, its the second best show lineup that i will have ever seen.

#1: the great eastern, juno, the most secret method, faraquet, rainer maria * the move studio * pittsburgh
#2: the prom, naht, new end original, burning airlines, hey mercedes, death cab for cutie * richmond univ * richmond
#3: the great eastern, [a state college math-rock band], q & not u, faraquet * the white lodge (basement) * state college PA

that was a list of great show lineups, of course, the list of greatest bands i've seen is topped by rocket from the crypt.

okay, i'm going to shut down in hopes of leaving sometime soon... since i was ready twenty minutes ago!!

i have this magic trick too. it's called how to make a whole day disappear. it all starts with getting up early and going to work.

astounding.
deep thought:
The next time I have meat and mashed potatoes, I think I'll put a very large blob of potatoes on my plate with just a little piece of meat. And if someone asks me why I didn't get more meat, I'll just say, "Oh, you mean this?" and pull out a big piece of meat from inside the blob of potatoes, where I've hidden it. Good magic trick, huh?
thank you scott for that heart-warming rendition of forrest gumps long-lost twin brother!

let me just mention that the mere fact that i now have an SG has increased my guitar-playing ability by at least 1.2% !! the same goes for my desire to play whenever i see it... i mean really, its a lot different than coming home and seeing a boring strat sitting on the stand.

now spinning: death cab mp3's
even more evidence that we all need to fight to stay in shape. personally, my legs feel pretty good... its my lower back that hurts every time i stand up.

now spinning: nothing yet.
i can quite agree with you there gabe. it hurt for me to get out of bed, took me a lil longer getting dressed this morning...and well, lifting my leg to push the clutch in on the truck...yeeeah, that hurts too...i feel like i shouldn't be driving.

i'm an old man.
