ok, enough metaphorical crap.
per usual things have been busy. i mean, really busy. like i miss 'date nights' and those lazy in bed all day su
ndays. i had a super terrific birthday despite the rain and obnoxious allergies. she threw me a bowling party for the whole freak'n family. that was a blast. everyone had fun. even the adults. i love how both our families have kinda become one. everyone likes each other and doesn't mind sharing holidays. my family has doubled in size...yowza. i was totally surprised but she got me a mac! a very sleek and sexy new aluminum mac laptop loaded with all the bells and whistles that allow me to record a solo album. even the top of the line recording software. it's so neato. i was totally stoked and surprised. i didn't 'need' it at all. i just wanted her. but then she surpasses my expectations and wants me to be, get this, happy. i like that.
then this past weekend consisted of moving my sis into her new pad, my birthday partying (with friends), mom's day brunch, her leaving on a jet plane. the party with friends was tons o fun. i swear i'm regressing. we went bowling (again) and this time with drinking before and during. uhh, i did better sober :)
i'm getting a longboard (skateboard that is). see, i'm regressing. well actually i found out that an old high school mate now designs skateboards and i've always been a fan of longboards so he made me one. check it out:
cool, huh? i really dig it. it's a bamboo board and he designed it just for me! so yeah back to what i was saying - i'm totally regressing. but it's ok. she still loves me.
i hate this weather. this on and off again rain and the fickle sun. i need something consistent. i need...the west coast weather. i would feel so much healthier and motivated to do outdoor things. skate around town, surf the pacific, walk the dogs on the beach, cycle sunny cali, etc. etc. etc. and it would be easier to be 'green' there.
i'm totally stoked about the brandi carlile show this week. i heart her.
a week or two ago the girl and i went to the gavin degraw show at the national. ahhh, great show and even better than the last. it was a seated show which was so nice. we did our usual and ate at tarrant's (one of our favorite foodie places) before the show.
RLB's album is finally finished. we will receive the final printed copies in a few weeks just in time for my solo shows at the end of the month. i'm looking forward to have a new album just anxious about my future. if all goes according to plan i'll explain why later it's just a whirlwind of emotions right now. it's scary not knowing your future.
well, i'm tired and nick at night is starting to suck.
oh my oh my - i wish i were with you on the west side of the country.
