if life were DDR

well, usually i'd write an update about today, but the only good thing at all that happened was that Carl got back from NYC and was nice enough to listen to me whine on the phone for an hour or two. thank god for best friends, even if they are an ungodly number of miles apart.

i've started saying "back home" instead of "back east" again to refer to Pittsburgh.

i feel sort of like i'm playing Life Life Revolution, and every day is an arrow, and as I get more and more Boos and Misses, my life bar is going down and down, and the Goods don't make up for it enough, and I haven't had a Perfect in way too long.

for aquatwo - move every zig

and to remember a time when I was actually funny... this was the blurb I wrote and sent out to advertise the Kiltie Carnival concert in 2001 (just found it in some old email):

At P.M. 5:30
Kiltie was beginning.
ABTech1: What happen?
ABTech2: Somebody set up us the band.
CMU: We get carnival.
ABTech1: What!
ABTech2: Main Tent sound on.
Baritone: It's You!
Drummer: How are you baritones!
Drummer: All your bass clef are belong to us.
Drummer: You are on the way to percussion.
Baritones: What you say!!
Drummer: You have no chance to keep up play cut time.
Drummers: HA HA HA HA...
Mr. Gerlach: Take out every 'march'.
Mr. Gerlach: You know what you playing.
Mr. Gerlach: Play 'march'.
Mr. Gerlach: For great justice.
