the grown-up game

the bummer of trying to be financially responsible is that you're totally broke on your way to getting there. though if i play my cards right, i might be free of credit card debt by the end of the year. i have a basic budget planned out, and next year will come an even more in depth budget to really curb my spending. the problem is this... there's definately a few good records coming out in october that i know i'm going to want to get. we'll see. but i'm 25 years old now, it's time to get my head above water and actually take care of things like paying bills. i'm at least current on my credit card bills and my phone bill now, getting there on a few others. and like i said... hopefully i'll get it all taken care of by '07.

whatever

regardless of the mason dixon line, if a state is in the top 50% of the country geographically, it is NOT a southern state. sorry virginia.

this is the last time.

the unedited, non-special edition original trilogy dvd set was released today.

and of course, i'm going to buy it.

but i have to be honest, i am really starting to feel like an asshole for buying all these stupid box sets. and i don't even have them all.

some cities are hard to book in

denver (doesn't anyone in denver want to actually book shows?). phoenix proper (unless you know someone). san francisco. el paso. dallas. if it were me, i would think that these venues, or promoters would WANT to book shows. it brings in more business. if a band has no guarantee, what is there to lose? 10% of nothing is nothing.
