Ugh, I just want this all to be
over...so I guess this is the last step.
As expected, my grandmother passed
away last week. She was able to hold on until both Tim
and I got home. My uncle Tim was coming from Ireland.
Heck of a trek just to get to the airport for him.
Needless to say the whole week was horrible,
difficult, and intensely emotional. None of which
I was even remotely prepared for. The process was
spread out over 5 days because of of other funerals,
and it just completely took the wind out of everyone.
Jessica was able to come in the next day, oddly enough
about 2 minutes after she died, and was a great source
of support for me. THANK YOU BRIAN, for
keeping everything together in our household while we
were gone! I will rescind my earlier "We have no
friends" statement...you are a true
friend.
Strange thing over the past week:
I apparently cried in my sleep every night... What a
cool way for your body to let out emotion. The days
were filled with decisions and family, and there was
never time to really grieve, but at night I guess
I let loose. Unfortunately a few of the nights
I woke up and I felt horrible...like I truly
had been crying all night. But either way, I thought
it was another testament to the strange emotional
beasts we humans are.
Got back yesterday afternoon and
hurried to the 3rd showing of "Southern Fried
Chickie", the show I'm doing techie stuff for.
I was so beat. I wanted desperately to just
go home and arrange my life. Mail everywhere...it's
strange when you leave for a week unprepared...you
come back to chaos. But the show went great, and
I nailed my cues...so that's cool.
J-Dog and Bob are incredibly
pissy. Bob is dopey and kitten like, and J will just
have nothing to do with him. They are a teensy bit
better since when we left, but they were seperated the
whole week, so we're really back to square one. We're
finally gonna let them spend the night together,
because Bob in our bedroom at night is a BAD idea. Bob
thinks it's pretty nifty to pounce on eyeballs. I
swear to God, if your EYE isn't covered, he will get
it. I was dozing off and he pounced my eye...and
I threw that cat completely across the room. I
felt bad but it was just a reaction. That cat just
FLEW. Anyway, so we're sleeping in peace
tonight...I hope.
They were the only
thing I could think to have for the
video this entry. I must admit, in a time
of mourning, this is damn near the
funniest video I've ever done. This is
only a 20 second clip, but I will be
making a full length video to the tune of
Michael Jackson's "Ben", but replacing Ben
with Bob. The sight of them fighting to
this music is just classic.
Enjoy.

I've got a gig tonight. I'm
starting to get the feeling of wanting to play a
little more often, but things are starting to crank up
again. Jess starts her training next week and I'm
doing web work for HST. Oh my GOD it's the
28th!!! The contest is over on Saturday! That would be
a nice silver lining on a shitty month. So I guess
I should put up the instructions for everyone to
vote again. If you clear out your temporary internet
files you can start over. Here ya go:
-at the end of the first
paragraph there's a red link that says: "so if you
want to be a talent scout click here
now"
-fill out the form (about 3
minutes of shit) - (if you've already done that you
can skip to the next step)
-when you get your pin number
click "talent scout" at top of screen
-then click callbacks in that
first paragraph...
You're in! I'm in the "Male
Special Talent" category (2nd of 3 guys)... All you do
is put a check in that little vote box. The page
refreshes and you're done. Please vote. Please vote. I
really need a nice boost to the month.
So there, I guess that ends the
entry I didn't want to write. I just need to put
everything in the past and then deal with it little
bits at a time. Last week was overwhelming for even
"emotion boy" Adam. Hopefully now I can do that.
I'll update you all tomorrow on the show. You know,
I'm gonna do an old fashioned update like I used
to do about the shows. Where I give you a clip of the
performance and make the show description the entry.
That'll be cool. It's been awhile since I've had any
performance clips. So look for that tomorrow morning.
Oh, and let me reiterate one last
time to those of you reading this from the
columbusmusic.com link, you may wanna go back and skim
the beginning of the year. If you have a high speed
internet access, you owe it to yourself to watch all
the movies too. It'll really make the recent entries a
little more telling. I'm sure many of you are a bit
confused by the meaning of many things. I basically
have a dozen ongoing subplots that I give a paragraph
about. Soon there will be even more.
Alright! Thanks for
listening...talk to you all tomorrow.
