Bob’s visit went well, and he was a real pleasant fellow. It was nice being able to do a favor for someone whose music has given me a lot of joy over the past several years. Contributing food and lodging to an artist you respect is a good way to …
Rick sliced his thumb open at work yesterday (first accident on the job in years), so it looks like although I can maybe do a smidgeon of floor work myself tomorrow, I’ll be heading out on Saturday to see Bob play. I was going to be sorry to miss him …
So split your Saturday between two worthy events this weekend: At 12:45, my good pal and bandmate Leah Morgan will be doing an acoustic set at the Celebrate Fairfax festival (page looks unavailable right now, but check back later). My buddy Steve McWilliams will also be there with his band …
I’m feeling mighty worn out after a hard day of laying down that flooring. Unless you have either a lot of help or a very small rectangular room, this is not a one-day job! In all truth, we did start closer to 10:00 than 8:00, since Rick had to run …
The time has come… tomorrow I’ll be laying my new basement floor with my mom’s hubby Rick, and wishing I’d gone to shop class in high school. The good part is, at least Rick’s a carpenter, so at least one of us will know what he’s doing. Then Sunday we’re …
Ack! Has it really been almost a week since I last posted anything? I’ve been really busy at work, and also at home trying to keep our contractor fixed on a deadline for finishing our basement. I guess it would be easier for him if he was there for more …
Here is a great paper explaining why SCO’s recent $1B lawsuit against IBM is all sound and fury, signifying nothing.
We had a great weekend; saw Matrix: Reloaded on Friday while our friend Amy watched Evie. And it was well worth it. Don’t let the mixed reviews bug you; although it is a little talkier than the first movie, the action scenes are unbelievable. And the movie does an excellent …
Saw a completely awful movie last night, The Transporter. I’m not even linking it because it was so bad, I can’t conscientiously allow anyone to get one iota closer to it. What a train-wreck. Poor editing, nonexistent acting, weak screenplay, monotonous score (Stanley Clarke, what were you thinking?). Stay far, …
Doing an enormous data recovery job today due to one of our RAID controllers’ having gone belly-up over the weekend. Fun, fun, fun! DVD rental recommendations: Possession: Fantastic. Hard to believe this came from the same man (Neil LaBute) who gave us In the Company of Men, Nurse Betty and …
