Oh, brother. What a weekend. I hope you’ve all survived (unless you haven’t, in which case I’d like to offer my condolences to your family and friends). I know I did. Barely. After my exhausting run yesterday morning I had to work for 8 hours. Then I came home and popped a handful of sleeping pills (over-the=counter crap, of course…unless you guys feel like mailing me the good stuff). That helped me knock off relatively early. The Giants played — and won! — today. The Patriots lost, which is always a good thing considering almost my entire circle of friends is made up of Boston transplants. Work wasn’t so bad. Then I went to a birthday party for a friend, which would have been nice if I wasn’t so tired the entire time. I got to talk with a girl who started reading the blog way back in the New Jersey days, then recognized me years later in a bar here in LA. That’s always fun. Then I came home and planned on blogging until Drew showed me that he set up the projector on one of our living room walls, and now we’re watching “A Fistful Of Dollars”. It’s like a little movie theater in here!
Sorry, you don’t care, do you? You’re just here for the music. Right. I forget sometimes. As you were.
RULES for uninitiated noobs: I give birth to a weekly Mix Tape to be deposited on your iPods or Zunes or Kingklangs or whatever the industry is currently pushing on you. Sometimes there will be themes that link all the songs together, other times I’ll just throw songs at a wall (not literally) and see what sticks. No theme this week! The goal of this endeavor, as always, is to pique your interest in these artists so you’ll support the artists and buy their albums.
