I wish I could be as indifferent as @anne #40784. Maybe she does some serious yoga routine. Maybe I'm just hearing my biological clock tick. I doubt it though, as I have no interest in procreation.

Is it the weekend yet??
Or at least Thursday? I don't know if I can wait that long for a drink!
At least there are events to look forward to. Going to the Square on Thursday and then to Mohawk afterwards. Friday is the Floozie cd release party and Saturday is Brewfest!
Two more days...

Me & Julio
This weekend someone mentioned they heard Lori and I went to see Black Rebel Motorcycle Club with Greg. Neither Lori or I went to the show, but everyone's so used to seeing the three of us together, we weren't surprised. We figured Greg was with a couple of his other girl buddies. Turns out the buddy was Julio. Just as one might guess, Julio is Mexican with a big mustache.
I'd better start shaving more often.

...I swear
I know, I know. I'm a decade behind on my blog.
But the important thing is that I'm typing next to my 6-month nephew, who is the cutest boy in the world, tied only by my 4 year-old nephew.
Anyone who knows me knows that I'm brief.
"I'll be back"

Countdown
7 hrs and 20 minutes left in my twenties....
Happily, I've just discovered that I can access (e:strip) again from work.
So it looks like I'm back after a very long break.
Guess it's time to update some of this stuff.

Questionnaire
People:
1. How did you find out about/why did you become of estrip?
Paul

Anyone who would be interested knows.
3. How many epeeps have you met real life?
Several - although I knew several before estrip.

Spring Forward
For all intents and purposes, yesterday was the first day of Buffalo spring. To me, this is signified by walking two blocks and running into ten people. Yeah. It sure feels good to get out of the house.
And speaking of getting out, it seems that concert season has also begun. Matt Pond played two good shows last weekend at New World and Nietzche's. Next week brings Bob Dylan and THE SHINS!!! Then there's Hot Hot Heat, The Futureheads, and Oasis. And I get to go to Coachella - that's hitting the motherload.
Now if boy season would just begin, I'd be all set...

Broken Social Scene
Yes, @southernyankee and @terry - it was Broken Social Scene. They rock! And I'm not just saying that because they're fun to hang out with.
By the way, BSS is currently on the playlist for my friend's new internet station. Go to Live365 and search for DrinkUp Dreamers Radio if you're interested.
