A house in need, and a cheese party

Thursday: Up, gus shower etc. Made a smoothie for breakfast. Down basement and morning stuff, drums. Wrote a couple checks. Some more work on understanding the db module of NeoOffice. Put the guitar and stool in the car. Worked on the trim on the furnace doors, cutting down some nails to not be too long, shaping the side trim pieces, sanding, finally gluing and nailing. Rth showed me around the house two doors down. Quite a place, in much need of repair and love. The floor layout reminds me a lot of my old apartment. It could even have been the same builder.

Headed off to work driving across town. My mom had left a message on my cell, so I returned the call and got her cell. Dropped checks in the mail. Hot out today.

At the office, another day of testing. Finding bugs in my code, and existing bugs. (Transition time-stamps.) Lunch at my desk thanks to MB (a sandwich with greens to be added at the last minute). Crln had left a message on my cell saying she was going to be at the party, so my plans changed. (She had several things for me that I needed to get). Met Shawn at 7:30 and over to Arlington. Elt was working in the space when we arrived. He told us about his recent lessons with the guitarist of Mission of Burma. A so-so rehearsal on my part. My head was elsewhere and fingers felt a little stiff. Wrapped it up and headed for Brighton, and a party at Cthy the guitarist for AQM's house.

In the backyard: much cheese. Story about a Craig's List apt-mate, arrested by 7 policemen, and never seen again. Another apt-make woke in the AM "I was hoping I could handle this on my own, but we have to go to court"... leading to eviction. The real purpose of the little flowers in glass tubes, heroin technique caught on film, the rear-end of the South End, G.D's Kiss impersonations. Two cute gay guys from France making out. Crlyn arrived with (bf?) Jsh in tow. She gave me chocolate, a CD and a check, all very welcome. Pn and Shawn seemed to have a nice connection. Leaving around 1, gave Shawn a ride home.

Back to my place, MB already asleep. Completing the day.
