Ohhhh!!!!!!! I just got my pay stub! They didn't tell us that we got a cost of living increase... And it's retroactive!! Neat-o! Nice, unexpected $1,000 for Shadow to play with!! Sweet!

Guitar is done. I guess the saddle upgrade significally lowered the action... He mentioned this 3 times... Fear? I'm flatpicking, which equals playing pretty darn hard... If that action is too low, playing hard going to be a problem... Oh well... Oh, and I won't be able to pick it up until tomorrow because I'm completely fucking swamped here... Hrmph....

I do believe I get to see the California Guitar Trio this week. This is very cool! P.S. Shipping rifles to HI is like really expensive and stuff. P.S.S. Olympic arms AR15s are like really well built and stuff. REALLY, REALLY well built. Perhaps it's simply me walking out of the stone age and into the world of modern weaponry... Nevertheless... That thars a darn solid rifle! P.S.S.S. I got a large pile of .223 coming to my doorstep =) Yay!

This song is *really* growing on me. The whole album is a dit difficult to connect with. I think they have transitioned from performing artists to recording artists. Deffinetely some choice moments, but I really can't see these guys pulling this stuff off live.

In a couple of hours Amy Jo and I - (minus) children will be going out on a boat. This week has included spending the days outsidew hanging gutters on my in-laws house. It's been entertaining =) Today was a break from that pleasure in trade for digging post holes, leveling poles and pouring concrete. It's 3:00 and I'm on my 3rd beer. When Amy Jo returns from whereever she is, I plan to hit the cigar shop here. Quotes for the week that nobody will get: It's like pooping in a vault. Did you put a wahser on it? Well, now; a person could, why not?

Amy Winehouse -- Back to Black

]

I wonder what it would be like watching Super Twat and Amy Winehouse fighting? And with this though, the funk is lifting...

P.S. This is still my favorite cut on this CD. I still don't get what the attraction to this album is... It's just got a groove that works for Shadow.

Funny stuff	[Jun. 24th, 2007\|10:09 pm]
Whilst digging in tonight, I found this... When I was 19 I bought this chick's debut CD tape, and she totally rocked my world... Oh... Anyhoo... I learned this song all those years ago and loved it. I found this vid and picked up my guitar... Like muscle memory... I could still play this song like I learned it yesterday... Amy Jo had a tear in her eye when she head this; I ~~turned~~ played Amy Jo ~~on to~~ this ~~chick~~ song when we had our "first dinner" toghether... It was all over after that...

Last night I got a tour of the Y. I got a free two-week trial membership. I'm going to take advantage of it. Swim + lifting weights. Doors open @ 5:00AM. This is cool! I can get up, ride my bike there, lift weights for a half hour, swim for a half hour, ride back home and still have enough time to do the standing set. If I tweak it, I may even be able to fit in sword kata. But if I have to cut something out, it'll be sword kata. At least for the duration of the two weeks. The morning routine is rather delicately balanced. It's been the same for years. We'll see how this change works.

This morning I managed to develop a bike course through the park and LG that is exactly a 1/2 hour hard ride. Wiggins is a great street to ride down. A nice, long straight shot where you can sprint; South Grand to Cherry. When I get to Cherry, I weave in and out of the neighborhood towards home. I did the standing set outside. I have not done this for a couple of years. My crazy neightbor lady would always come outside and water stuff precisely when I would begin. Of course, she would have her yappy fucking dog in tow. It was annoying, It pissed me off, so I started keeping it in the house. It does something to you at times when you feel the sun on your face when engaged in that activity. I had forgotten/ not experienced that in a long time. While over the years I've learned to just let the whole "magic energies of the universe" concept go without thought; on certain days, something unusual presents itself in the standing set. Kind of like little weird remote viewing "glitches" that crop up. I had one of those last weekend. It's always stupid stuff. I was emailing someone and was describing how Amy Jo used to get really fussy with people and how she rarely does that anymore. I was using the example of how well behavied she has been with the doctors and her little "thing" that she has going on right now. I was going to say something along the lines of: 10 years ago she would have been clawing peoples eyes out by now. Then for some reason I changed it to say that: 10 years ago she would have been pulling peoples eyeballs out with a fish hook. After I hit send, I though about the fish hook thing. I thought to myself... Hmmm... That's a really odd thhing to say. A couple hours later, when we were at the park for our picnic, I looked down where the kids were playing and found a hish hook on the ground. I promptly pitched it before one of the kids got it stuck in one of their feet.

Last night Amy Jo and I giggled about our "spat" the day before. It was wholly attributed to nothing and completely rediculous. We sent the kids to bed and hung out together. It was a good night.

I just talked to Amy Jo. She slept today until around 2:00. She's not really looking forward to this. Neither am I, but answers need to be had. They scheduled the damn thing for 4:00; she's going to be going alone. I'm going to pick the kids up and have dinner ready when she get's home. Oh... After my drinking behavior this week I really need to go on a beer run. Although part of me is lobbying for beer cessation... Although, sure as shit, if I don't buy beer, Amy will return from the CAT scan and demand a cold one. Yes, I will buy beer. I need to get all my reloading done soon as well. I leave for the cabin in 9 days...

I now have the window of my office open... Oh my, my is it nice out... Right now, at this very instant, the temperature in this room is absolutely perfet for me. I don't feel this temperature often enough. It makes me feel something... Can't really put my finger on what, but whatever it is, it's providing lots of motivation.

Premeditated skip day today. I need to take some "me" time. I'm going to run to Decatur to pick up my rifle. I brouhgt some work home that I can dink around with. I may even get my ass out and buy the new Mad Caddies! Later today I'll be having a few beers w/ AB. Last night I watched Grays. It was pretty entertaining. One character in particular I could relate to in a major way. Time for coffee and to roust munchkins. Who knows... There may even be posts (proper) today from Shadowdude... For certain, my disposition is doing better. Now if I could just get rid of my co-workers.
