still in hyperdrive mode at work. i feel like i went from a nice leisurely, manageable march to a crazy full april without realizing what was about to hit me, so i’ve been a bit stressed and preoccupied.

we did squeeze in a thermals concert last friday which was fantastic. opening band who i won’t even name out of politeness was downright terrible, but maybe that just made the thermals seem even better in contrast. not a bad touring strategy, i guess, and it can’t be too bad for the venue that we’d rather get drinks in the back than listen to the first band. anyway, it felt good to go see a really up-tempo punky rock band in a hot little club and bounce around a bit. need to dig into that back catalog a bit, i’ve played last year’s album like crazy already.

saturday was also a bit on the crazy side, but it’d take too long to get into it all here. lots of cocktails and a few cab rides and for some who stayed out later than jessica and i, some brawling. thank goodness we ran out of steam when we did, eh?

honestly my week since then has been pretty dull though so i wont grasp at straws to talk more. i’m glad the shield is back on, that’s pretty much all i got unless you want a status report on my five or six work projects, which i doubt you do.
