leftovers

Of course I was a little bit hungover and tired when I woke up on Day 2. I had attended a work-related meeting for about 3 hours earlier the previous evening so I had some flexibility with the time I went into work, allowing me to get some much needed sleep. Work was OK and I didn't feel too bad, I mean I've gone out late and went in to work early lots of times before. I had another after-work meeting Tuesday evening which went pretty well. Afterwards, I really wanted to just go home and lay down or something but I thought that going to the gym would give me more energy, and besides I had already put it off the night before. I like to go at least 3 times a week, usually M-W-F. I did end up going to the gym for a little over an hour, went home and ate, and then my friends Ben and Marc came and picked me up to go to MJ's. I think we got there a little after 10pm and there was a small line to get in. It was $7 at the door - perhaps an interesting side study to this expe

Since having turned 30, I've noticed a disturbing trend. OK, so it didn't necessarily start after I turned 30 and it really doesn't have anything to do with that, but lately I find myself confined to the couch/tv routine by 9pm most every night. I don't think I have to explain why that's troubling to me. So, last week I made a goal: to go out every single night one week, just to prove I could do it. My sister thinks this is a silly goal, and I agree, but it's something I need to do. I started my week of living like I'm still a teenager by going out to Mustache Mondays, a club downtown at Charlie O's that I've been hearing a lot about. I used to have a love affair with Downtown LA and for a time I was trying to start my own crusade to make it the "happening" place. Maybe I wasn't so successful, and after moving to West Hollywood kind of abandoned that idea altogether. However I still love downtown and so I had been wanting to go to this

This blog is perhaps a tad late but I wanted to put it up before the end of the month. Here, I look back at the songs that made me happy in 2007. 10. "Slut Buffet (Solar City Slutty Radio Edit)" by Shitting Glitter vs. Solar City - I would be remiss not to include this track on the list because I probably didn't hear any other song more in 2007 than I heard this song, and no song gave me more personal satisfaction or enjoyment. Hearing this song being played at The Abbey, at Chi Chi LaRue's Dirty Deeds, at Blender, or any other bar I heard it in always immediately made me feel a whole lot better than before I was hearing it. More people heard my band because of this song than any other song. Having said that, I am sort of now officially "over it" and that's why it's only #10 on my countdown. After all, it's a remix and it's also a song we recorded several times and has appeared on 4 or 5 different Shitting Glitter projects already, beginnin
