Neil on CFOX is playing Sloan right now (12:37)...Patty song of course.... ;) OK now He made reference to Sloan getting beer thrown at them in PEI, one guess who told him that... I just told my Blaze staffers I am running away to Vancouver, I swear to god I should have been a DJ in Canada...I guess that is one dream in my life I will never quite fulfil...so I vicariously live through talking to jocks there...I hope they know how lucky they are. I say a little thank god for streaming radio...
Hello Monday morning! Had kinda a weird weekend, just plain exhausted I guess. I had stayed up til 2am on Thursday then late again on friday to watch INXS and Tom Everett Scott on some late talk show. Sat morning we went to garage sale at 7am and I was toast by 3pm...Saturday night I was too tired to write. I hate admitting when my age gets to me but I just killed my weekend by doing that. I slept most of Sunday, kinda wasted good project time snoozing. I finished writing by 11 pm last night to try to get back on a regular schedule.
I went digging in my closet looking for some pictures and ran into something I go the biggest kick out of. It was a long piece of papers attactched that was titled "Leah's brief history with the Gin Blossoms" It had a daily run down of what happened in my life with the Blossoms each day from for several months. I laughed out loud at some many things I had forgotten. It left me in a Blossoms mode for the entire weekend. It always happens that my ipod shuffling reflects my mood in bands. I couldn't quite remember what every reference was, some of the code style writing doesn't translate 16 years later in my memory. I did laugh at one sentance that said "Robin was doing his best Tim Farriss impression in a bat cap" OK, I guess I don't quite remember Tim Farriss being a batman fan but I had to laugh hard at the sentence. You have to remember we went from all the INXS following to the Gin Blossoms so that was the transition that was happening. I also had forgotten the day I walked into Rockaway and found Robin working there, I had didn't remember it was his first day there! Actually reading it made me wonder if there was a little something more than I ever caught on to... I need to read the journals someday again but it will be a while yet. Not ready yet.
OK I'll be back....
