my weekend seemed pretty uneventful until i sat down to write about it. must have something do do with all the whack dreams i had, last night. one of which involved me making fun of hulk hogan because he drives a yellow honda crx and was cutting the grass at the neighbors house. i assume maybe his dad lived there or something. i also had the prerequisite dreams about girls not wanting me to call them anymore and wishing i would get a puppy for christmas. i seriously hope none of these dreams are connected…

on the way into work, i stopped by the coffeeshop for the usual mocha. today turned out to be quite the victory, it seems…i walked in, they recognized me, they started making the drink, they gave it to me…and they never charged me. score! free coffee is always the way to start the day. i stood there looking at them for a while and then we all were just like "well…see you later. have a good day." one of those uncomfortable "did i just get my coffee for free?" moments.

and then i realized that there's a dooley's bagels right around the corner from work. so i'm seriously getting my day off to the right kind of start.

did i mention that, upon arriving here at work, i had to switch desks? big pain in the ass, as usual. but the new desk? has an intellimouse. score! the hits just keep on rolling.

last night scott and i headed out to monkey drive to catch a free show. we caught wind that irina was playing and that black widows would be playing their first show. since they didn't flyer the show at all, we figured there wouldn't be too many people there, just a loose collection of friends and whatnot. we were wrong. the place was packed. to the gills. and it wasn't very big, to begin with. irina opened up and suitably blew the roof off the place. they play their own brand of rockin' mathrock psychedelia. definitely worth checking out. pilot to gunner played next. i wasn't too into them and i heard a few people say they sounded more like braid than hey mercedes does. heh. i just kept quiet.

and then black widows…wow. featuring ex-members of national acrobat and by the grace of god, you could only expect some good rock, and they seriously delivered. loud, fast, and in your face. they'll be playing indy, chicago, and cincy over the next month, so if you get a chance, check them out. i'm hoping to record them when they play here again next sunday. keep your eyes peeled for that one…

hopefully this day stays as good as it's started…
