to say that my blogging habits have become rather poor would be something of an understatement, i'd imagine. nevertheless, i'm still around, things are still happening, to me, just not enough discrete interesting things that i've a fount of fun events to pepper you with.

also, i realize it's a bit late in the day to be "announcing" this, but i figure that anyone who reads bipolar and is interested in my band already knows the website (which also suffers from lack-of-update-itis) so will already be informed about tonight's show.

we'll be at the rud tonight with Chumley and Tipping the Lion which is basically Chumley, just playing free-form improv rock stuff. should certainly be interesting.

the really fun thing is that i've been fighting a cold for a few days, i'm tired, i'm sick, and i may have a slight fever as well. needless to say, i'm going home to take a nap before the show tonight. at least for 45 to an hour, if i can get it.

wish us luck, and get on out to the Rud if ya can.

good ol' march. good ol' nice weather not hanging around. thanks a lot, mother nature. you bitch.

anyhowways…

i've decided that i hate "mary-oke" at seidenfadens on wednesday nights. mary insists on singing every third song herself and, well, she can't sing. i had to tolerate her butchering "free bird" and sweet child o' mine." the last one was almost enough to make me go over there and knock the girl out. and the other people doing karaoke? they're no better. it's no wonder i never do that shit.

ahhh…sweet thursday. i'm off work on fridays and saturdays, so this is the last day of my work week. my friday, if you will. i'm sitting around, enjoying not thinking about anything, just taking it easy. i'll be off for 5 days, after today. i'm headed up to columbus to spend some time with the girl. should be a lot of fun.

before i do that, though, i have to fix my fucking brakes. in the past two and a half weeks i've had almost the entire front end redone on my car. it's like, all at once, it became a money pit. i had the clutch replaced (something that i've needed to do for almost a year now), both front axles replaced, a new ball joint put i on the driver's side and a realignment. i also got the tires rotated and balanced to get rid of a nasty shaking that popped up at around 75mph. not cool. but the shake is gone now. and now the brakes are grinding. i'll replace those friday, though. shouldn't be a big deal.

to help offset all these crazy repair costs, i've put some old 7"s from my collection up on the ol' ebay. take a look, see if there's anything you're interested in, and if so…buy it. all of those are out of print and generally pretty hard to find.

okay…i need to get back to (not) working.
