I’ve just spent the last 2 days trying to get Rock Lobster out of my head. I think I’m cured now. Maybe.

Last night Sukie and I met with some friends of mine that I knew way back when. It’s always good to see old friends, especially when you have a plan – that way you don’t have to focus on how old and odd everybody is.

I opted to go to the Utah Arts Festival – Sukie opted to go to West Valley’s ‘West Fest’, which we ended up going to. Frankly, I wanted to go to the Arts Festival because this year I would fancy myself purchasing a peice of art to hang upon my wall, with my enhanced income and all. More about that some other time.

Somewhere in the evening I noticed a slight tummy-ache developing, but shrugged it off because we spent the evening playing games in the living room. Of the games we played, one called “Apples to Apples” was perhaps one of the best games I have played, ever, and I didn’t even win.

So basically, the clock struck 12:00 or so and everyone got the hell out of Dodge. Fun was had by all.

This morning, my tummy hurt worse. I think I pulled a muscle or something, but it felt mostly like a mass of gas was stuck in my belly. That, and my friggin nose has been leaking more fluid than Theorb77’s head gasket.

Horrible cramps aside, I toughed through the morning of shopping and driving around. I ate a smoothie at Wild Oats and started to feel a little better.

By the way, I’m taking the 9th of July off to go meet Bruce Campbell.

So a good friend of mine directed me to a song: Frontier Psychiatry by The Avalanches. I gotta say, it’s so crazy-good that it made me want to buy a song they don’t play enough on X96 – Sugar, We’re Goin Down by Fall Out Boy. It, too, is crazy-good.

Ooh boy I should add BYOB to the playlist and I’ll be jamming for sure.

Wow, I can’t beleive it’s been 25 years. This year I was all gearred up to not get gearred up, and just let the Birthday slide on through, with little to no fanfare.

So, completely off guard, Sukie and Jabba got me an iPod, several days before my birthday. Then, the day before my birthday, Dax gives me a really damn cool present – Season 2 of TMNT – fricking awesome From about then on in, it was looking pretty good.

The next morning is all about people wishing me a happy birthday. Sukie, Jabba – even calls from Theorb77 and Meryl. You guys are the best.

Then last night, when I got home from work I found this.

Swweeeeeeeet!
