Right now...

Listening to right now:

An internet radio station Drainbamage - which is playing Steve Vai, Joe Satriani and Yngwie Malmsteen having a guitar circle jerk over Hendrix's "Voodoo Chile."

Some pretty fancy string bending, (and with Malmsteen's sweeping arpeggios to boot) I tell you what...

Yeah, I'm a guitar geek.

What I'm watching right now: a bunch of talking heads on CNN. Apparently the topic is what the president will do about Iraq. Meanwhile, CNN is also reporting five more soldiers have died there.

This Sunday marks the beginning of the non-Vikings portion of the football season. Thank goodness there's still playoff football out there. But after a few short weeks, the Sunday wasteland begins.

I mean, I'll actually have to find something to do on Sunday afternoons that don't involve sitting on the couch. Note to self, get off your arse and do something.

Now the Foo Fighters are on, "No Way Back." I really like the Foo Fighters. They rock and Dave Groehl is a GREAT frontman.

So far I've managed to stick to my only New Year's resolution -- that is NOT to make any resolutions.

I did try to fast for at least 24 hours. I made it 18 and started feeling so sick I thought I wasn't going to be able to rehearse with the band. So I cut it off. Apparently I've got a lot of toxins floating around in my system that need purging.

Next time I'm going to take a day off work.

Now playing Jimmy Eat World's "Nighttime Drive."

Kind of a mellow song. Anywho, I'm thinking about breakfast - and who isn't?

Now playing: Pink Floyd, "The Thin Ice" from The Wall. "Don't be surprised/when a crack in the ice/appears under your feet..."

Pink Floyd is amazing because most people I know who like Floyd, don't listen to them anymore. And it seems like for the same reason: because Floyd's music really takes the listener through their own head - and I don't know about you, that's a place I don't need to stay in for too long.

OK, back to breakfast. It's one of the things I forgot to add to my long list of beliefs.

'I believe in breakfast' more specifically, I believe in eggs, hashbrowns and some form of pork product. Today, it's pancetta.

gotta go...
