Only 2 coats today?
Today was a half day off because I don't have rehearsal tonight. Which means I had the morning and early afternoon to get some things done.
Like this ham.
It got cooked
And then it got sliced, and put in this huge - freaking Tupperware. POOF.
And Sunday night, It'll go into 3 bags to be frozen and eaten for the rest of the month.
Pretty pumped about Ham Sammiches.
And those boots? The Bugaboots?
Bought them - with two pairs of 70% Merino Wool socks.
They'll be here on the 26th.
AND I found a Vet for my hedgehog Filbert, who seems to be not eating as much, and has been losing weight for about a month. - SO I set up an appointment for him on Monday to go figure out how to get the lil guy healthy again.
And - All this Laundry?
It got washed and folded.
POOF.
Still haven't found those 3 socks though....... Pretty sure they're under the bed - and its way to cold to go fishing down there. ^

CHECK OUT THAT DOLLAR THOUGH? -----------------------> ^
Jackpot!
Now I get to go play guitar for 4 or 5 hours, and then go drink wine with a stellar cute girl, and listen to Connor Garvey's live album - "Before The Meteors (live)" - I just found him yesterday - and - he's blowing my world. In half. He's blowing it in half - He's that good. So, check it out. You'll love it. I'm bobbing up and down to "The Bird" as I type here.
................................. I just deleted day 9 somehow. I mean - I know how I did it. Some copy and paste issues mixed with Blogspot's auto save feature.
Oh dear. Alright. gona try and recreate that quick. Damnit.

So I'm still recovering from deleting day 9. But I have an idea to turn a terrible thing into a great thing. I'll get to that later. For now - About the subway today.
I think the world did me a solid today. I was so furious when I left the house - I could barely talk. Besides screaming. :)
So I strolled down the lake, and watched the waves breaking up the ice that's been forming the last few days. And it was lovely - like it always is. The sun was setting - and it was perfect. did alot for my mood.
And then the subway.
I spent an hour at Monroe, made a solid 10 dollars from the regulars I see there. from 5 - 6. Then I rolled over to Grand and some awesome stuff started happening.
I just started singing the balloons off songs. If you didn't know songs have balloons, they do, and I was singing them off them. Quite remarkable. With no regard to how hard I was singing. I was angry - and I was singing it out.
And people noticed - I was making money - like crazy. Like I haven't made in a long, long time. People were buying CDs, I had 3, and they were sold in 15 minutes. People were clapping. It was incredible.
Enter Allison and Tyler - There was a really late train, and a good stack of people formed. And these cats were crazy about me. Crazy. like whistling, and clapping. They bought a CD for 10 bucks, and just smiled, and smiled, and smiled. It was like I made their night. And they made mine.
This is when I ran out of CD's and 2 other people asked to buy them tonight. Goodbye 10 dollars. Worst thing ever - Turning away money because I ran out of CD's.
Enter Mom of drunk college kids. About 15 of them. You could smell the booze on their breath all the way down the platform like this cloud just circling them. Laughing, yelling - having a wonderful, Perfect Friday night. The platform is pretty packed at this point, and I yell,
"This song is for everyone on this platform under 25 years old! I started playing "Anthem" a song I wrote last year that is just what it sounds like - an anthem of youth. And the whole glob of kids came over - They kept talking - But I was playing for them, and they were converging for me. I was the background to their Subway ride that night. I prolly made like 8 bucks from just that group alone. And when they wake up tomorrow - Maybe they'll say -
"Remember that dude in the subway who played that song, and we all went over to him? That was freaking wild dude."
I hope they do - I hope they do.
