drama in the desert

On Thursday night we went and saw our friends, the Erin Smith Band play in Guelph. It’s cool to have a band as friends, especially when the band is as good as ESB. They played two sets, and while both Sandy and I thought that they took a few songs to get warmed up (hey, it was -15 C outside 🙂 they kicked ass, ESPECIALLY THE SECOND SET which we swear was almost two hours long. They were hypnotising the crowd with some of the solos. The crowd got so into it that they were totally silent during some of the songs, especially Drama in the Desert. I think I would kill anyone for a copy of that song, which will likely be on their next album, which I also can’t wait for. We didn’t get home until 2am, but it was amazing. I felt great afterwards.

Yesterday I had to drive from Guelph to Stouffville to go to the dentist and pick up my nightguard. This is a molded soft plastic thing that you wear at night to prevent you from grinding your teeth together. I didn’t even know that I did this until I met Sandy – sometimes my grinding would wake her up and she’d have to elbow me until I stopped. So I’m glad to get this finally – wearing down your teeth sucks. Then I had to go to the Co-op to set up a server for them, which of course didn’t work. Grrrrrrr. I spent way too much time there. Sandy was mad at me when I came home. I just don’t have the time to spend on them anymore. I’ve gotta realize that. In the evening I had to run a bunch of errands, and then we had a nice night at home.

Today Sandy’s working this afternoon, and I have an HP LaserJet 1100 to clean and try and fix – I hate these bloody printers. HP should have just taken them all back, the bastards – they have a stupid fucking paper path that always causes problems.
