Dear Ticketmaster,
I just bought tickets to see Street Dogs open for Tiger Army and you offered me a free sampler disc from iTunes. Bloc Party, Finger Eleven, and a Kaiser Chiefs single I didn’t even know about? Right on!
Thanks,

Just a quick update to let you know that The State of Massachusetts from the new Dropkick Murphys album, The Meanest of Times, is the song of the week. I love the whole album, particularly Johnny I Hardly Knew Ya and Flannigan’s Ball, but State of Massachusetts is probably the best song they’ve ever done.
It’s weird. I haven’t even touched a cigarette in five full months, and most of the time I don’t even think about them. Every now and then, though, I still get the overwhelming urge to have a smoke, even after five months.
Me: I just slept for thirteen hours!
Roommate: That is awesome!
Me: It was!
Roommate: You’re just in time for kickoff!
Me: THAT is awesome!
I’ve always liked fall. I’m especially glad it’s finally arriving this year - I can’t even remember a time when it wasn’t hot as hell outside. It’s time to get some apple cider and a pumpkin spice latte from Starbucks and watch some football.
The other good news is that I’m feeling a lot better than I was a couple days ago. I woke up Tuesday with what sounded like a smoker’s cough, but turned into nausea, dizziness, and a gnarly headache by the time I was ready for work. I slept all day Tuesday and went to to the doctor Wednesday to find out I had a bronchial infection. Spent most of the week in bed, because I’d get dizzy any time I was upright. It was Friday afternoon before I finally started feeling like I could get out of bed for more than an hour at a time, and I’m still not back to normal. I went into the office yesterday to try to catch up a bit, but I only made it a couple hours before I started to feel like crap.
So that sucks. I’m going to try to get some stuff done this afternoon while I’m watching football, and hopefully I’ll be able to make it through a full day tomorrow.
Well hello there Internet. I haven’t had much time or desire for blogging or Internetting lately. Work is still kicking my ass, but things outside of work have been pretty great. I’m going back to San Francisco in a couple weeks for work again, then out to Vegas for the last week of October, and then I’m hoping to take a week or two off because I need it.
