GONE

temporary.

the cold stuff only lasted one night. i may have been a bit tired yesterday, but no where near the amount of sneezing and chills from Tuesday. so, all is well in my land.

here's what I've observed at my company (and I'm sure this could apply to you): when one person gets sick in my office their bug spreads, mutates and spreads some more. plus, my office isnt the cleanest of places... actually, the other day i left quite a few dust notes around the office. this is a place that supposedly has cleaning staff coming through every night - yeah fucking right! the amount of dust and shitty cleaning job show they (cleaning staff) dont do a fucks all 'round here.

i find myself getting sick on a frequent basis, moreso than previous companies. so... now i'm armed to the teeth with Purell. and thinking about it, is it really my fault that my office has 0 windows to open, dirty (coz i dont want to say my office is outright filthy) and unkempt space, dust everywhere? sigh. my office (my desk) is rather clean... it's in the air, i swear - recycled air.

trying not to breathe in, only out.

here's the deal; i'm not going this weekend. after careful and serious internal debating I've decided to nix my trip to illAdelph. i have to buck up and get the house ready for the cold nights ahead. and it's already getting cold 'round these parts.... buuuuuur!

as advised by my handy-man; I should stay home this weekend to test out my furnace(s) to ensure they work properly. plus i have a few more windows to plastic. i need a new carpet for the kitchen and winter curtains for the rooms.

honestly, i'm rather surprised by my choice. i guess i'm becoming more responsible with each passing day. maybe it's having a home vs apartment...

in a few ways i was vexed on it all. mostly because i wanted to see Marc and his side band. plus i've had a strong urge to lose my shit, which only few musicians can do for me. Marc's bass playing is straight budda. serious-lee. give them a listen

realization. all the negativity has plenty of positives...

since i'm not going to philly (still taking my vacation day) i've managed to prepare a slightly lengthy list of productive "things to do" with my time. wha, thought i'd sit around an puff on the leafy all weekend?

on the list:
-kitchen carpet
-plastic on windows
-turn on / test furnace(s)
-build new w2k server
-build recording server
-setup and test new studio gear
-eq and setup receivers and speakers
-get drunk
-eat lunch with the rents
-neeko and the much anticipated jam session
-groceries

i know getting drunk isnt the most productive thing, but fucks, it will be fun ;-)

i'm trying to get my friends together one night. hell, if i cant do that i'd at least like to spend time with each friend at some point. going to be rough, different schedules that dont play well. i try...

otherwise, life has been good! i've lost my precious "champ of the day" title. i got my ass handed to me last night. so, Joy's the new champ. best of luck getting the hat back B, she's wicked on the sticks bruv!

i've decided to go record shopping at Kelly's one day this weekend (maybe Friday). new records are my thing as of late... a few nights ago I blew the monitor speakers - thank you drum-n-bass - time for new speakers and receiver! but yeah, drum-n-bass, my new shizzz. plus i could use more of that west coast house.... dubby baby, dubby.

i have another hot date tonight...wicked! classic cheese date...dinner (Vietnamese) and movie (a history of violence). wha, thought i'd see a chick flick? haha

well peoples, today is my Fryday! and my health is top.

now, i need to think about my halloween costume....



peace
