Money + Boredom = Less Money

If you give me money and I'm bored, I will then spend that money. I got my tax return a week or so back. I dropped a decent amount on smething responsible: I paid off my car insurance for the year. But last Satruday I'm sitting around with little to do and so I talked myself (mentally) into going out and buying an XBox 360. Now, granted, I did feel much better once I put in Dead Rising and commenced with my civic duty of killing zombies. But in the future I should really keep my mind more occupied, get some hobbies or something.

Well, my work Vegas trip looks like it's all set to go. I've got the hotel room, I'm registered for the conference, and just yesterday we booked our flights. Once again, can I just say, even though it's for work purposes and I do actually have to go to seminars and workshops and the like, that it's pretty damn cool to be going to Vegas on the company dime.

With the exception of the above-mentioned Saturday afternoon, it's been a busy couple of weeks. There's been 1 date, 1 wake, 1 concert, 4 either band rehearsals or jams with band members, I' ve been learning somewhere in between 4-6 songs to jam with Matt at his gig on Saturday, and 1 rehearsal so far for that. And there's a few more days to go before things should start to slow down a bit. I have another rehearsal for the Matt gig tonight (I think), a band rehearsal tomorrow night, probably Chris Taylor's cover band show tomorrow night after rehearsal, and Matt's gig on Saturday. And then...nothing but relaxing and french toast on Sunday. Hopefully.
