That was a few months...ahem.
Just wanted to share a quick thing... I was re-setting up my recording studio in my house and my little Delilah helped me check out to make sure everything was working. So we recorded a little Neko Case song.

Yes it was completely awesome. Both bands are about the best I could hope for right now.
...and here is a little thing that is making want to go tonight and see them again, since it looks like they play this for the encore when the Hold Steady are headlining.... (sorry Jodi, this is really gonna tick you off)
Mike Doughty's The Only Answer from River Rocks in St. Paul, MN
Yep. I don't post much. That is how I roll.
so in lieu of writing something original, I'll just copy the meme Jodi posted.

....instead of going to bed, we watch a video of japanese impersonators recreating We Are The World.
- It's been a long time since I've posted anything. I guess I'm just not much of a blogger. (side note: as is habit, I sound things out in my head before typing them. I'm not sure why my inner voice sounds like Christopher Walken right now)
- I have a new job. It's better than my old job. After working in one place for 18 years, it feels funny to be a job-jumper.
- My new job has me working nights again. I like nights. But the alone in a cubicle overnight thing is a little creepy.
- I want to get excited about Obama like some people claim to be, but I just can't.
- I feel the same way about My Name Is Earl. Sorry Jason Lee....Earl In Jail = Jump The Shark.
- I know it's set up so that you relate to Jim, but if I was a 'The Office' character I would probably closer to Toby.
- I was either gonna stop here, or this will possibly be a long list.
- I'm really loving playing in a local cover band. I still haven't figured out the banter part.
- I went about 15 lunches in the row at work having the McD's double filet o' fish (the o makes it fun) meal. And I don't really feel bad about it. I kind of wish I could go get one right now.
- I'm convinced my fast food options are limited without the availability of Sonic or Jack-in-the-Box locally. I'm not sure if we have a Red Robin anywhere nearby. yummmm.
- I can't figure out what my radio station is. I want to be a Current person, but they play stretches where I'm completely underwhelmed. Cities97 is heading for the stale territory of KQ. 93X plays too much of the cookie-cutter, drop-D tuned, gravelly-voiced thumping. Jack tempts me with the 80's, but then kills it with some recent pop crap. Thankful for my ipod.
- I'm getting another stupid cold. Right when this over-long winter is ending. gah.
- I picked yet another stinker of a bookclub book. And I had two other ideas that would have probably been tons better. I am bookcursed.
- I'm afraid of being way out of shape. When spring finally decides to stick around, me and the family will probably start some bike riding. It will be painful at first, but I really need it.
- speaking of painful. I played basketball recently for the first time in 12 years. Was fun while it was happening, not so much the following week.
- It's almost May, and I like May a lot. Being outside more, looking forward to Memorial weekend, my wife's b-day (she has a better birthday than me. the end of May is perfect birthday season.) and start of softball season.
- that's about it for now. Maybe I will think of something else in the next few months.
Possible reasons why the following picture amuses me so.
1. Come on. Haven't you ever held up your Shogun Warrior robot, or Voltron, or Iron Man action figure and fired imaginary pulse weapons out of it's hands? Right?
2. Two words. Laser Cats.
3. I'm hard up for something to laugh at.
4. I'm insane.
5. The only thing more fun than being insane is annoying the crap out of people with what makes you insane.
6. pew pew pew.
I have been known to be a bit of a board game geek. In order to properly enjoy a game, and determine a true winner, strict adherence to the rules is necessary.
Some people do not think this is necessary. Some toss rules aside and change them on whims. Some embrace anarchy and the complete loss of order. Some will even call you names for attempting to keep order in a 'Lord Of The Flies' gaming situation.
To this I say.....
