Sullivan's, Poop Humor, and Alien Verses Predator

Saturday

Penni had to work. I worked on GTK#/Mono/Glade. I got it to compile but could not play a test sound file. Went to Ruby Tuesdays and was Miserable with food poison from 3pm to 3am, running from bathroom to bathroom. Penni laughed and laughed and laughed, she loves poop humor.

ripped thumb

Wednesday

Worked, Listened to the In Rainbows album on the drive home. The drum sound is really cool. it's tuned tight and muted. i wonder it sounds the same live. i got home, showered, took a 15 minute nap and drove to the space. At Practiced, ripped the vertical tear in the skin under my right thumb. It hurt a ot. I think the drum stick tape pads my hand but also sticks and pulls the skin to make these weird blistery rips. fun fun fun.

"...fancy a gobble?"

Tuesday

Rented a red box movie called Hot Fuzz, Penni and i watched it curled up on the couch like the cutest gay couple in the world. It was pretty good. I recieved a used linux programming book in the mail. it is a little dry and it going to take some time to ingest it all. I looked up C# programming classes at CPCC and the next one is in 6 months. roxorz.

Gatorade Bottle to the Face

Monday.

Worked are ate a gyro from Niko's and Practiced. Danny stopped by to hang out. He is having trouble getting people to record at his new studio.He helped us with our "Practice for the worst conditions" stuff by messing with the lights, The Distortion pedals and throw in stuff at us while we play in the room.This sounds very silly but it really teaches you to playing one thing and think about another. Scott tried to throw a bottle of Gatorade at him but he missed and nailed me in the eye. Ouch, but I did not mess up. my eye felt weird for the rest of the set but there was no black eye. Life is good.

The guy who bought Penni's table off Ebay Picked up it up at 11am. he was gonna use it as a Screened-in-porch/sun-room table. He Sounded at sound a lot like Yosemite Sam.

Sir, I assure you this will be the finest cymbal stand bag you ever own.


Friday

Had a lunch at La Paz with my boss and coworkers and the new Guy. He seem pretty cool. we all piled into my tiny car to drive back to the office after lunch. We did the introduction to all the management in the building thing and worked on cleaning out the storage and server room.

Ran by the guitarcenter after work for more sticks and saw Davey from Danny's band I Picked up a duffel bag from the army navy store for my hi hat and cymbal stands. I picked up Qdobas for Penni.

I played with Netbeans for a while 6 is out but ubuntu has 5.5 in the repositories. Their were error message boxes about the java packages i had/needed but there were no show stopper. crashed early.

A roach working it's way across a busy restaurant

Thursday

Lunch at Miguel's with my boss and my friends. After we finished eating Kursty saw a roach on the window blinds working it's way across the restaurant. Went over a training list with my boss for my new coworker. I helped a user with an access issue. The apostrophe in the string "children's hospital" broken the query that populated her form's combo box. Today I discover there is a function in right-fax that automatically prints out faxes. Excitement!

Penni had a Chiropractor visit after work so i took a quick nap before practice. We played the set twice. I worked on throwing drum sticks at Phillip during "Battle Music".
