I'm sorry about your neck darlin, taken any aspirin or anything yet?
My day has been pretty meh. Got in late last night because I was doing an ethnographic exercise at a greasy spoon last night for my anthropology class. Went to sleep sometime around 2 AM and woke up at 7:30 AM. Determined to get my paper written early I decided to go out for breakfast to give me the energy to write the paper, but then I went home and messed around on my computer 'till about 11:30. Finally I got off my ass and decided to go to a cafe to write so I wouldn't be as distracted but it seems everyone had the same idea and I couldn't get a seat. So I give in and go to Starbucks and grudgingly order an expensive small cup of shit coffee. About two hours later I've written a decent 7 page paper and packed up my ****. Then I decided to go to the Game Shop at the mall and picked up some more d10's (10 sided dice). Stopped by this little coffee shack called Mug Shots and picked up an extra large cup of coffee (60 cents cheaper and about 2 times as big as Starbucks, also much better). Got back and messed around on my computer for a bit trying to get my Maximum RAM output to 4 GB instead of the 3 I had it set at. Played some Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth and here I am. Woot woot |

returning from my second bday night, an very drunk (the usual). Anyway, my second present is a Design tablet for Mac that I'm trying right now.
Edit: And my cousin finally hook-up with my best friend (all three we're in the same uni). It's been obvious since last year, I can't understand how people can be so oblivious.

Yesterday I got a call from a friend of mine's father who is one if the foreman for the I-88 construction project that's been going on for about 8 years and still isn't done. He offered me a job for the day smoothing asphalt and settting rebar, to which I happily accepted. Spent 7 hours on the road and we managed to get about 250 yards done today, earned myself $140 and had a great time shooting the breeze with the regulars. Yesterday was also my homecoming, that I had promised to go to with a girl named Rachel. I called her and told her I wasn't going because I hate school dances, and I'm not really interested in dealing with annoying drunk bitches all night. Went home, took a quick shower, still smelled like asphalt, drove the hour and a half up north through rush hour to my friend Tim's house and drank beer with a few friends while we watched the homeopener. Didn't get home till 2AM, feel immediately asleep though. Pretty good day.

I've got some musical opportunities coming up which is exciting. Meeting with an indie band today which I'm kind of nervous about. I'm taking a shot at playing keyboard which definitely isn't the instrument I have the most confidence with. Meeting with a post-hardcore band and folk band to audition for bass later this week.

My last 3 days have been amazing. I really am quite bummed to be back home. I got to go to Belfast where i have never been before, see my friend, go to her wedding, spend time with some really good people who were all more than good craic, drink WAY too much and then go to Dublin and repeat. Well, repeat the drinking part of it anyway. It's so weird for me to go to some of the pubs in Dublin and hear traditional folk music and dancing and everyone crowding around loving every minute of it. It's not weird in the sense that such a thing would go on in Dublin, but more if people tried that in a pub round my way they would probably get stabbed.

I'm feeling so unmotivated in my bad right now. I'm playing three instruments in it but I think I need to just concentrate on one instrument instead of floating around doing different things. Problem is that the instrument I am best at doesn't suit the band...

It's been a morbid week... a guy who was in the grade below me was killed in a car crash. His name rings a bell but I can't put a face to it. And then a couple of days later, one of my English teachers from back in high school died of cardiac arrest.
On the brighter side of things, I have job interview with a forklift robotics firm tomorrow!
