Friday the Thirteenth, part 2

[mdlbear]

Went to work around 11:15, which meant that I got there in time to have yummy shrimp won-ton soup at our little deli. I try not to eat there more than once or twice a week.

Went out for a 2-mile walk, feeling at a rather low energy level. I'm wondering: I had a Flexeril last night -- it's a muscle relaxant, and my back's been hurting for the last couple of days. But it's also a CNS depressant, and I have a history of reacting, um, inconsistently to depressants. Could that have had something to do with my depression this morning?

Work on my car was done around 3:30, so about 4:30 I headed out to pick it up. Ended up costing over a grand -- about twice what I had been expecting -- even with help from the extended warranty. Good thing I got paid today.

Picked up gin at BevMo, and rat-sized glue traps at Home Depot. The gin is now in the fridge, and the traps upstairs in the garage attic.

Got home and found catsittingstill's homebrew CD, I Promised Eli, waiting for me. Combined with quadrivium's CD, Courting My Muse, which arrived Wednesday, there's been a certain amount of fanboy squeeing in the house. (Cat's CD is being published by samizdat, by the way -- I got my copy on the condition that I'd burn more copies as needed. The track list, btw., is here. If you're not local to me, Cat can probably point you at somebody closer.)

Now I'm going to try to ignore the siren song of my new DSL line and its makeshift gateway, and try to get some editing done.

Thanks for the CD info. I sent Catsittingstill an email about hers (locating local source or becoming the local source) and asked quadrivium about her CD (and passing word onto a filk dealer for her). I plan to do the same for your CD when released.

You're welcome, and thanks!

Mine is going much more slowly than I'd like, but it is making progress.

As long as its released, I do pass word onto a couple of filk dealers for anyone's CDs when I hear about them. I figure its a way to support the artist who puts out the CD and the dealer who makes them available to all of us at conventions.

Aw! I just read this. Did you really squee? I am truly truly honored! I'm loving Cat's CD too. Peter sent it to me. I need to make sure and let him know I received it.

Just a little bit of net-lag there?

As close as I ever come to squeeing, anyway. It's a great album.

I'm looking forward to hear yours too! Will you be sending any to ARCHON?

It's out of my area, and I have no idea when it is or whether anyone I know is going -- unlikely. But I really hope to be shipping by the end of June.
