august 18th, 2015: peanut butter and a butt...

kicking off the day with a little heavens. being theres only one album out there i guess a little is my only option. 

it turns out that new cereal i picked up may not be for me.

day two of the inspection seems to be going fairly well. and when i say well, i just mean no major issues. so thats something.

id put off buying my riot fest flight for a while and now ticket availability isnt where i want it to be. prices arent far off of what i saw earlier, but the times just arent all there. i do this all the time. normally this is where i'd be telling myself ill change that, however im very sure ill do the same thing with austin city limits. it was still under 400 until i added in the insurance. and i should save a bit on going airbnb. theres also public transportation so that should help. 

so the inspection actually didnt go so well. a few things got switched up and changed everything in a major way. i suspected something like this would happen since when were never fully/factually told how things would go. 

and then there was an unecessarily long delay in leaving. people and their pointless stories. it was one of those strange situations where there are people talking to each other but it had somehow pulled everybody in. so to walk away was like just walking out in the middle of a conversation. not ideal.

at home. trying to deal with foot locker. its mostly unsuccessful. 

wrestling. summerslam's looking pretty good. im actually feeling like im missing out.

falling asleep to 'we bare bears.'

august 17th, 2015: it's not davidson?

i woke up multiple times thinking about my votec days. in a way i feel like i owe a lot of what i am now to mrs davidson. i had the drive and all that stuff, but it was her classes that gave me an outlet for it. it did fall off in later years, though it was still a life worth living. 

there was an inspection the kicked off at work. all the preperation over the last several months seems to have been...misguided. so thats cool.

off to take care of laundry. taking advantage of the downtime to call the grandparents and my mom. i used to not have much to say to grandpa for some reason. things have picked up lately. part of me feels bad for not having been around much in the last many years and i guess im trying to make up for it now. i look back and see where i couldve or even shouldve been around more. its not one of my favorite things to think about. at least we have some pretty good conversation now. and i think thats something we both need.

over to wal-mart to pick up a 9 volt battery and some food things. a few weeks ago i found myself reading up on honey crunch corn flakes. i was pretty into those at some point and stopped seeing them. i think i saw the current version of them at the store. so i picked up a box of those and honey nut cheerios as a backup.

killing time with a few episodes of chozen. i wish that show wouldve had an end to the story. following that with aqua teen...rick and morty...and sleep...

august 16th, 2015: august 16th, 2015

ive been doing pretty well with keeping up with my blogging lately. eventually i should see about expanding my audience of one. this morning was a write-up on the texas showdown festival. 

to have a bit of background noise i was going to go with one of my looney tunes dvds, but caught the bare bears show. sucked in. and into a black hole i fell... i remember a post some time ago about the 'demise' of saturday morning cartoons. looks like it may have been greatly exaggerated.

i wanted today to be the day i finally start setting up my display shelf. after getting everything prepped i remembered there was some problem with the floor that would have to be fixed. so that will be postponed. on the bright side, i found those black and white 2009s i was looking for. now to track down acidstorm.

a well-deserved nap

a brief talk with mom. a couple peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. back to being productive. now that the bulk of the stuff in the music room is cleared out, i can make it look...better. i need to put getting a new futon frame higher on my priority list as well as a musicians chair. and a white board. and a white board holder. and cleaner.

my sunday evening call to the grandparents was thwarted. not thrilled about that. 

watched a louis ck video i got from a past humble bundle. its pretty good. i was thinking of buying his new album, but still not sure how i feel about listening to things like that. they seem better watched.

finishing 'red son.' it was really good. and the end really tied everything together. in a sense. 

lying around listening to al snow on the ross report. i was too distracted to take anything of value from it though. turning on some grace potter and off to sleep.

august 15th, 2015: jones, you fat bastard...

waking up to a missed call and a message. its something about night shift people being at work late and coming in a little later the following morning. on closer inspection, theres a bit more to it. the calls were about an alarm going off at work. kinda glad i didnt get that call as i wouldve been a little more than useless.

breaking out the bordeaux's. those are so comfortable.

after work it was back home to recharge and kill time until 'straight outta compton.' to fill up the time i figured i may as well pick up those kd8's. 

the guy didnt seem to find my order anywhere, but apparently it was there. so totally there. theyd received a lot of that shoe and it was more of a reservation than a 'ship-to-store' order.

the movie was really good. i had my doubts how much id like it. it just didnt seem like my type of thing, but the story was pretty compelling with a roller coaster of emotions and whatnot.

throughout the day i worked my way through more of the 'found' album. its pretty good. i think this might be the one to get me back into their music.

finishing off the night with jumping around the internet. reading about bad boy artists and listening to grouplove's second album. i was never super into it, but its pretty solid. 

on to married with children and sleep...

august 14th, 2015: k-w-r-d-f-u-c-k-y-u...

jumping into the day pretty quickly. that momentum carried over for a good while. 

breaking away for a lunch break timed perfectly with a ups delivery. ripping funeral for a friend's tales dont tell themselves. it didnt get great reviews, but i like it. one day i need to take the time to pay attention to the story as it is a concept album. and taking the time to remind myself that i may be far too into tagging my music correctly. 8 years of last.fm tracking will do that i suppose.

on the way back i went with the new icp album as my car music. its different from what im used to in a lot of ways, but theres something familiar about it too. still a good ways off from a real decision on it though

towards the end of the day i put in an order for the new kd8's. paramax purple and team us green seem like a worthwhile purchase. i was hoping to be able to pick them up today, but that wont be happening.

instead ill spend the evening watching raw, updating my ipod library, and finally getting into those tropical heat hot tamales. theyre not good.

an update started coming through for my phone yesterday. i couldnt finish it though because i left my phone at work. so im doing that. ill need to root it soon too.
