Well, Project Grimm pulled off the reunion show. We played remarkably well, and with a high level of intensity. There was a good turnout. I got back in touch with people I haven’t seen or spoken with in years, and I had the pleasure of meeting at least one person I pretty much only [...] Just catsat for some friends while they were out of town for the holidaze. They have a sweet 27-inch iMac and a Netflix subscription, so I didn’t get much accomplished other than watching a few movies. Had been wanting to see the Baader Meinhof Complex for a long time.

I am good at admitting those now. Still not so good at not making them. Perhaps the territory will change and I will become a cartographer. Perhaps not. Last Thursday I saw the play, Bluefinger. It was my first Nodler/Catastrophic/IBP performance to date. I think I chose well. I [...] At long last, I’ve started the arduous task of cataloging my CD’s.
