You are 42% geek

You are a geek liaison, which means you go both ways. You can hang out with normal people or you can hang out with geeks which means you often have geeks as friends and/or have a job where you have to mediate between geeks and normal people. This is an important role and one of which you should be proud. In fact, you can make a good deal of money as a translator. Normal: Tell our geek we need him to work this weekend. You [to Geek]: We need more than that, Scotty. You'll have to stay until you can squeeze more outta them engines! Geek [to You]: I'm givin' her all she's got, Captain, but we need more dilithium crystals! You [to Normal]: He wants to know if he gets overtime.

this is my uncle willie. he's the best.

why?

back in WWII the army shipped him off to Germany. as soon as his platoon arrived for battle, they were captured by the Germans. being scared at what they'd do to him if they found out he was a jew, he decided to make an escape while being marched to prison camp and succeeded. willie wound up hiding in various places around Europe for months until the US Army finally found him and sent him right back to fight. the next time his platoon went out for battle, he was shot in the leg and got to go home.

afterwards he lived in Cuba for a while, moved back to the US and married my aunt sandy (who is pretty close to being the best too) and started an electronics repair shop in NYC, which eventually became a bunch off electronic repair shops in the NYC and Long Island areas. now he's a retired 80 year old who travels the globe, owns a dope apartment on the upper west side in manhattan and a house right on the beach in long island. if you ask him how he started earning his fortune, he'll tell you he got his start "selling bananas".

he's the only old dude i know who knows how to live life, values his family greatly, and makes friends wherever he goes.

infected tooth -> infected face -> fever -> wisdom tooth needs to be pulled out -> get it pulled -> play a show that night -> wake up feeling terrible -> pop vicodin all day -> get sick from vicodin -> stop taking it -> get sick from withdrawals -> wake up and record song with barely enough strength to hold pick -> start feeling better -> lose voice -> go to work and have people laugh at you cuz you can't talk -> brows the internet and drink tea all day (and get paid!)

What Irrational Number Are You?

You are √2 You are in good company, many other square roots are also irrational numbers. Just by being a square root you have been branded a radical. You are considered very attractive, especially by Europeans (at least on paper.) You fear that a relationship with another √2 may somehow end up complex and ultimately imaginary. In reality, only another √2 will make you whole. Your lucky number is approximately 1.41421356

more artwork/band woes



so after the delema of assembling the art work for our 7" last year (that wound up turning out pretty good), we are now faced with the daunting task of doing a CD layout, which is far worse. first you got the booklet (front/back/inside) then you got the tray (front/back little side panels), then you have to pick the order of 12 songs (which i think i pulled off fairly well), then you got to have 4 opinionated people agree on everything. hopefully my dear good pal friend of mine, chris olsen will help me put some prototypes together with his mad photoshop skillz this weekend (and next week). in exchange i'll crank out the jams at the next munia show. we got two other artists doing the actual drawings who both have their pluses and minuses (who's feelings we don't want to hurt if we pick one over the other). it makes me appriciate well done art work for other bands cd's and records since i know a lot of pain, love, thought and energy was put into the complete package.

and my tooth hurts.
