Yikes!

I am so fucking tired it's absurd. I haven't posted since last Friday and for that, I'm sorry. But you have to understand that I was in Boston all weekend and that I have since then been pent up in the recording studio with the Poofs for 16+ hour-long days. Recording is a helluva lot of fun, but it's so incredibly tiring. I have to go back tomorrow for the third day in a row with a couple other people to lay down the solo on "Californication," so I need to hit the hay ASAP. I'm a little nervy-pants about recording my solo, though, just because I know I'll be extremely critical of myself, and I never know if I'm singing it well anyway or if people like the way I sound on it (Poofs or otherwise). I guess I maybe shouldn't worry about it too much, though. Right now, I am more worried about resting up and getting rid of this mini-cold I have managed to acquire in the past 24 hours. Ballsac, for sure.

I really promise to write more as soon as I have a bit more energy, but I'm running on less than 5 hours combined sleep between Sunday and Monday nights, so I'm mildly delirious at this point. This is making me even more upset about the fact that I won't be in NY to enjoy the wonder that will be the newly announced Pixies/Interpol/LCD Soundsystem concert on June 14th.

So to end, I would like to include a tidbit of a conversation I just had with Alexandra Weiss online - further proof that she is one of the best girls ever:

h0lleg0lightle: i went to chevy's tonight
yeah laugh it up: NOOOOOOOOOOO WAY!
h0lleg0lightle: yep and my mom yelled at me for adding salt to chips
yeah laugh it up: hahahaha
h0lleg0lightle: i thought if you were there, you wouldn't yell at me

Her extreme love of both Mexican food AND salt catapults Alex into the elite category of people I pretty much can never get sick of hanging out with. Ever. I mean, everyone needs a good friend to consume Mexican food and salt with all the time, right? Angela would be in this category, too, if she wasn't such a hardass about the latter. Too bad she's a pussy, though.

Okay, I'm peacing out for real this time. I miss Alex. I miss Angela. I miss Casey, and I miss Allison. I miss so many people, and it's only going to get worse. I trust that many summertime visits will keep me afloat, or at least I hope so.

Road trip starts in 5 days. Matt and I pick Bob up in Hartford, CT, Sunday morning at 8:45am, and then we're driving to a small town in KY (quite close to Cincinnati, OH) to spend a night or two with Bob's son, daughter-in-law and their three kids, Jacob, Luke, and Max. Give or take, the boys are my nephews, and they are amazing! Seriously, cutest kids ever. I'm so excited about our road trip and its many accompanying adventures. I'll be sure to fill you in on all of that before, during (maybe?), and after.

But Boston was fun. I had the best margaritas ever Friday and Saturday nights. If you're ever at the Cactus Club on Boylston Street in Boston, give the "Snow Cone Marg" a try (strawberry, tangerine, and lime layered together like a snow cone = delicious). It was fun seeing Alex and Sharky one last time before heading home. They are good kids. Check it:


Check it: Matt and Sharky (AKA "The Sticky Bandits")*

K. No more. Love you, goodnite. ;)

*$1 if you can tell me what that's from.
