update

Haven't written any new blogs in a while... I actually just looked and was surprised to see that the last one here was over a month ago. It's not that nothing has been going on, just that I haven't taken the time to write it down. I'll summarize some of the highlights of the past month...

The summer concert-going season has started with a bang. I went to see a band called Rilo Kiley on June 15. Then a week later, on June 22 I went to see the "True Colors" tour - with Cyndi Lauper, The B-52's, Joan Jett, Andy Bell, and Wanda Sykes doing comedy. Both were very good shows. Lots of fun. Coming up later this summer I'm going to see the following:

July 12 - Ours [it's ok if you've never heard of them - most people haven't]
July 22 - Yaz [they got back together for a reunion tour]
August 6 - Weird Al
August 16 - Nine Inch Nails [in Houston]
August 18 - Nine Inch Nails [in Dallas]

So yea, I'll be losing some more hearing, as if I wasn't already deaf enough...

Work has been somewhat stressful. We're short one person, so the rest of us have to work harder to pick up the slack, and last Friday another of the ladies gave her 2 weeks notice. So it won't be getting any easier in the immediate future... :( At least on the plus side, I'm getting into the groove a little bit better and getting the hang of the job. I'm also planning to take the entire first week of September off and do my traveling for the year. I'm thinking I'll hit both San Diego and Phoenix the first part of my time off, then head to Boston to visit my brother for our collective birthdays. Gotta check with everybody to make sure that will be a good time to visit.

I also got a pretty sweet new digital camera [which is to credit for the new profile pic on here.] It's not as awesome as Clark and Guinevere's [I decided to go a lot cheaper] but it's still better than any camera I've ever had previously. Hopefully I'll actually be able to put it to use and get some sweet photos to put up here...
