I saw a lot of shows last week but I’m pretty tired tonight. I’ve been getting my ass kicked at by work not to mention the LP4 production work which has been non-stop all week. One night I actually combined both by working until 3am and hijacking three printers to run the inserts for [...]

I told myself that I was going to write something here as soon as I got home from work. That way I could spend free moments thinking about what I would write. I imagined that I would come up with something brilliant by the end of the day. I don’t know why I [...] Turn off the stereo, the volume on the computer, the tv. What do you hear? silence? Hardly, right? Close your eyes, plug up your ears, buy those new Bose noise cancelling headphones. Any silence? Nope.

But the truth is that while I am without human company, Dougtopia is full of other forms of life, with varying levels of annoyance. Most likable, both in terms of being not very disruptive and being reasonably tasty, are [...] Today is Friday and I just sent-off artwork for the newest LP4 jacket which I am hoping will be worth all the effort we’ve put into it. Of course this whole endeavor has been brutal and we’ve sunk enough money into this album to make any business major cringe. It went from the possibility [...] Recently I was sitting in a sports bar with a friend waiting for the burgers that we ordered, listening to the really bad music selection, when up pops Shakira. I tried my best to ignore it. Sometimes it’s possible to let the music fade into the background with the idle chatter about baseball and [...] |
