well i’m now a month or so into my little blog experiment and i must say i’ve been enjoying it immensely… so much so that i’ve come to the conclusion that i’d like to step up and have my own website and domain name and all that stuff…
so i says to my afforementioned guitar slingin’ podcastin’ homey mr. lacey “i think it’s time for me to register a domain name and get serious about this whole website thing”…
to which he says “i use register.com“…
so i log on… proceed through all the setting-up-an-account stuff online and zig when i shoulda zagged… i end up calling them and i must say that my experience was outstanding… talked to two different folks that a) knew what they were doing and b) were happy to talk to me and fix my issues…
and that is the way things should be in the wonderful world of business folks… i’ve registered the domain name i wanted and register.com has brand new customer that wants to tell others about their great service…

so the family is still out of town… and i’m still missing them big time… and i sure am looking forward to picking them up on saturday and getting back to the hectic, non-stop, sleepless routine that is my life… haha… sounds funny to say i’m looking forward to that i guess… on the positive side bachelor-wise i am quite enjoying lotsa sleep and guitar playing…
and in bachelor mode tonight i shall be joining my amigo steve to be part of his latest “a brit abroad” podcast… i shall work on my ed mcmahon sideman guffaw…
and in a fit of bachelor-related free time i’ve been listening to and watching the fairly recently released nirvana boxed set as loaned to me by drummer ebo… what an amazing bunch o’ goodies… definitely for the more hardcore nirvana fan as opposed to the casual listener who kinda dug “smells like teen spirit”… but as i reckon i fall in that former category i’ve quite enjoyed it…

another stupefyingly fulfilling practice, for me at least, on wednesday… we worked primarily on the two newest songs we’ve got… including one that i finished writing that afternoon and brought in that very night… i’m so jazzed that we can take a song with some potential and often get it basically down in a couple of hours…
and i must say that the lovely and talented mr. lacey has once again come up with a stellar guitar part for the newest tune… i’m constantly pleased by the differences that end up between guitar parts in our songs… i think a big part of our “sound” is the melding of occaisionally disparate guitar sounds that work well together… that and rockin’ bass and drums and hollerin’… hah…
and a cd update… supposedly they were in customs on wednesday and should have been clearing and on the way at any moment… looking forward to seeing those puppies…
and i’m looking forward to having a little cd release party… been too long since we’ve played in front of the peoples in my humble opinion…
