fuzmeister: Objectification

---

Another Christmas has passed us over and, for that, I am quite happy. We're living in a society of apathetic idiots where the majority of holidays lost their true meaning years ago.

Spiritual or non-spiritual, religious or non-religious... everything's a wash. Cartoon mascots ease their way into our hearts prodding our wallets to spend on things we don't even truly understand.

And don't even THINK about not participating, because regardless of how "cool" people might be with it, they're not.

I strongly urge people to just not participate in such things. That is, unless you want an excuse to forget the purpose of them the rest of the year...

...or just a reason to see people you're related to and hate but don't have the guts to tell them you do.

Mood: Cynical
Music: Miles Davis - Sanctuary

fuzmeister: Music in All Aspects of Life

---

I'm back in Lititz for the Christmas holiday. The traffic coming home today was kind of busy, but I made it home in under 4 hours... maybe it was under 3 and a half; not sure.

Last night I was at Kate's parents' house. She and I exchanged Christmas presents since we can't be together on the holiday. She got me a 30GB Zune (a blessing after this past years' iPod debacle for both of us) and some other great stuff (Ghostbusters gift pack and Nirvana Unplugged on DVD, anyone?). Problem is, I need to update the Zune software from the internet and I'm on dial-up at my parents' house. It's 33 megabytes, but it feels like a billion.

In other news, the Weather Channel has released a CD with some of their most popular music that is played during the local forecast segments. That's just funny to me for some reason.

Mood: Relaxed at Last
Music: Johnny Cash - Further On Up The Road

Bado sent me a link to this short film.

Nothing that we didn't know before, but some of the facts are pretty staggering.

fuzmeister: Practice Makes Better

---

Tonight I had practice with my bassist Tony and sax player Dave as I do most Wednesdays. I know most of my songs well enough, but it really helps to go through them as a group as we are trying to get up to gig speed. I thought tonight was one of the best practices we had. We mixed up the set-list a little bit going through some songs that I don't think any of us have played in a while. A particular favorite of mine was Bubble King which I think went off perfectly and sounded awesome.

In other news, I feel like Kate is having a bad week so far... worse than it ever should be. I wish I knew what to do.

Mood: Good, Yet Sad
