fuzmeister: Taking Monday Off

---

I decided that I am taking off tomorrow to spend an extra day in Johnstown. The time change is screwing with my mind, perhaps.

Currently, I am enjoying some last.fm radio while Kate works on a paper.

That's all for now - sorry for the bland, uneventful post.

Music: Red Hot Chili Peppers - Slow Cheetah

fuzmeister: Food For Thought (and Eating)

---

So tonight I came home from visiting Kate in Johnstown and my neighbor was, like, "Hey, Steve!" And I was like, "Hey, how's it going?". To make a long story short, he made stuffed shells for his son's birthday this weekend and made extra so I've got about six delicious-looking stuffed shells in the fridge for dinner early this week. He's a pretty cool neighbor. Rock on.

Speaking of food, Kate took me out to the Fu Ji Japanese Steakhouse in Johnstown for lunch today. Damn - that was a fun little experience. The hibachi chef kept throwing broccoli in my mouth like three or four times (ok, so he only got it in once). He cooked up some tasty shrimp, chicken, and filet mignon which Kate and I split. It was quite tasty. Afterwards we rented 1408. I'm going to not review that film here for the sake of being brief.

I also bought The Sheperd's Dog tonight which is the new record by Iron and Wine. I had downloaded it illegally (shh) a few weeks ago and was almost instantly sold on it. The world-type percussion parts are sick. In honor of Sam Beam, I am going to be growing out my beard until Christmas... tentatively.

fuzmeister: Tuesday Soirée

---

So tonight I'm going up to Pittsburgh again to see Andrew Bird at the Carnegie Music Hall. Should be a smashing show - no one ever says smashing in the states. I think it should be a requirement for every American to say smashing at least once a week. Regardless, the show should be really good.

Kate's got me worried after some going-on's last night. I mean, everything is alright with her, but certain things going on around her are not ideal. I'm concerned. That's ambiguous.

Why are they remaking FFIV on the DS... hasn't that dead horse been beat to death enough?

The Clash in interview remind me of John Lennon ten to seven years later.

Tom Snyder actually had some monumental interviews in his life -time.

Kate's birthday is in seven minutes.

I miss being seven.

fuzmeister: Five Day Weekend. w00t!

---

Kyle stopped by my place in Western PA on his way back to university. This afternoon we were at the local Target store and they had put out Metroid Prime 3 early. We picked up our copies a few hours earlier than planned (we had been considering a midnight pick up at Wal-Mart). So far, it's pretty cool - kind of hard to make a really good statement about it since I've only played for maybe an hour to an hour and a half. I will put everyone's fears aside though and say this: the controls do rock... A level of control in a first person console game I've never felt before.

This morning I basically laid the groundwork for Kyle's web comic in PHP. I am proud of myself as I didn't think I could figure a way to do it with the naming convention and such for the images. In the end it looks good so far. Another accomplishment involving this week's house-guest involved getting his new GPS hooked up - it's a real cool unit... it's really hot outside though so the suction cup technology is not living up to the hype.

Saturday night I played a small little acoustic set at Duane and Steve's house-warming party. Dave Trinh (ex-States of Melba) joined me on saxophone and Tony Regola played bass. Duane wrote a review of the set and you can read it here. It seemed everyone had a fun time. There is a video of me playing Power Lines with Dave and Tony floating around on YouTube; I'm too lazy to get the exact link at the moment though.

Kate started her last year of university this week. Pretty crazy how fast time flies. She's going to be busy doing R.A. stuff again for a while, but it's well worth it for the compensation.

Also, my hair is growing back.
