Grunt Work

Well, I'm in NYC again only this time it's much less fun. My friend that lives out here has gotten a job in Chicago so she's moving back to the Windy City. Because my parents own a big-ass Suburban monster of a truck I got drafted to drive out for the weekend and move all the big stuff back so I'm literally driving out here, resting briefly and driving back to Chicago.

I'd rather be in Chicago becasue I really want to see a show I set up at The Note with Rock-It Girl (ex-Veruca Salt/Bastard) and Sullen (kick-ass female led rock that will crush you) instead of being here in rainy, dreary New York. I know I know...I love New York but this weekend I really would rather be elsewhere. That and I mis smy dog since I don't get to see her nearly as much now that I'm working days. Grrrrr....

Now because I feel like it...

Tomahawk Mit Gas

I like all all the above music but, as I learned yesterday, some of it just isn't roadworthy if you want to stay awake / keep your sanity / drive safely / bop your head....and while I listened to the entire Tomahawk disc I wouldn't reccomend it since it puts you in a really agressive state of mind.
