The end of a long day randomocity

It's my week to work until 5 o'clock and it's killing me. You'd think it wouldn't--it's only an extra 45 minutes, after all--but damn! It just completely bumfuzzles my entire evening!

My best friend and her daughter--who happens to be my goddaughter--are coming to visit week after next. I can hardly wait--haven't seen either of them since xmas year before last. It'll be around my friend's birthday and I'll be able to give her her birthday present in person for once. It does mean, though, that I need to clean up the Jeff-cave, which is something I don't do very often. Started in the bathroom last night and that was a job.

I started thinking about forming a Draconian tribute band after I move later this year, too. Maybe it'll become more than a pipe dream, maybe not. It depends on a number of factors. Why Draconian, you ask? Well, for one thing, I love their music. For another, their sound is close to what I'd love in a band I start myself. If I can find a group of people who can pull off, say, "Heaven Laid In Tears," then I've found a group of people who can do the music I want to do. But that's easier said than done--it'll be hard to find a woman who has the kind of voice I'm looking for, and I'll need a keyboard player with an expensive and elaborate setup. Not easy. Plus they'd all have to be people I can get along with and that is also not easy. And they'd also have to like the music I want to perform--last couple of bands I was in, we started out playing some pretty good stuff and wound up-over my strong objections--to playing old Rolling Stones tunes and Lynrd Skynrd crap. Bor-ring.

Anyway, my late week will be over tomorrow, things will return to semi-normal next week, then the week after that I'm on vacation for my friend's visit. Can't wait!
