Last night my guitarin' partner and I went to an open mic and sang a few songs. It went OK. Playing while amplified is something that will take some getting used to.  It helped that it wasn't a big crowd, and for several of the acts that preceded us I thought "We can't be any worse than this guy."

man, living with a roommate who don't eat no swine makes me crave swine. Pork butt is on sale at work for $1.30/lb, so I am making some carnitas and swallowing my guilt.

More for you.

This funny thing happens at work sometimes. I get so into my own head that I confuse my thoughts with the real world. I don't think I've ever had this happen in my normal life.   Yesterday a lady told me about how there is a huge lottery drawing this week, and I started thinking about what I would spend the money on if I won the lottery. As it approached time to leave for the day, I caught myself thinking "OK, where should I go to buy that guitar?"

Dude, you're bored shitless at work?

I read that as bored shirtless, which would make a really cool '80s metal video. Ted Nugent all walking in place on the conveyer belt while rocking out on the solo.  Hell yes!

I do frequently take off my shirt at work. This is why I'm up for a promotion to Meat Manager.

Sorry, guys, it had to be said.

Holy shit, I think I just learned how to make Chili. Yesterday we made Carnitas because Pork Butt was on sale for 1.25 a pound. Today I took a dollop of leftover grease and a little bit of the pork and cooked it with pinto beans. This might be the best thing I've ever made.

Last night 3 friends came over and we played Eurorails. We started at 9 and finished at 3. There were breaks -- I had to put my kids back in bed a few times, we decided to make brownies at 11, three of us were using my kids' crayons and coloring books to make pictures while we were waiting for the others to take their turns -- but it was pretty ridiculous. 

We had a blast, but holy crap, am I glad that we have Nick Junior in the world. After my son got on the bus, my daughter spent two hours on the computer playing Dora the Explorer games on the internet while I dozed within earshot on the couch.

You would think that having two kids would have turned me into a grownup by now, but apparently it hasn't.

Kids are meant to keep you young, yes? You're just an overachiever.
