Excuse Me Mr.
Title courtesy of No Doubt. I heard they're reuniting for a tour this summer and possibly an album. That should be interesting. I saw them a few years ago with Blink-182, who announced at the Grammy's that they're also reuniting and recording, and it was a fun show. Kind of weird to be sitting in the crowd and singing along to "I'm Just a Girl." I definitely like No Doubt better than Gwen Stefani as a solo artist. So reunite away!
So, no excuses here. I've neglected the blog. I just feel like I don't have the time anymore, or that there isn't anything really interesting anymore to talk about. Its kind of all house all the time, you know? Its coming along nicely though. We just had the heating system replaced, and its definitely made an improvement on the comfort level all around, plus, we almost never hear the furnace chugging away. Now what I'm really hoping for, is a nice dent in our heating bill, because our first one was for nearly $600. Gotta love that natural gas, right? So much for it being cheaper. The new furnace is supposedly much more cost effective and energy efficient. It better be for all the dough we spent on it.
Work has been busy as well. I'm booked to head out to Arizona by the end of the month. Its nice to get away every so often. The work that I have to do at these various sites is pretty straight forward and simple, so its nice to just go away and not have any stress about the work, and to just be able to enjoy being away from it all. Every so often you need a break from the usual rhythm, you know?
Not much else has been going on. Missy and I went into the city last week for a concert. We saw Jimmy Eat World on their Clarity X 10 tour. It was basically a celebration of their 1999 album Clarity's tenth anniversary. So they were playing it in its entirety, which was really awesome to see live and in person. I'd seen them years ago, but they opened up for Green Day at Giant's Stadium, so to say that this show was a little more intimate is an understatement. But it was awesome. They ripped through the entire album and it was tight, to say the least. Then they did a six song encore of a few older tunes, and a few of their better known hits like Sweetness and The Middle. Missy got a kick out of that, because whenever she tries to sing that song in Rock Band, she horribly butchers the timing of the lyrics. It's funny, even though she'd kill me for saying that. Oh well.
Other than that, we had a massive snow storm the other night, which was a ton of fun digging out from. Thankfully my office closed due to the weather and I was spared from driving on the nasty roads to a customer. Missy of course had a snow day from school, so we spent the day baking cookies and bread in between bouts of shoveling. I'd seriously consider getting a snow blower if one, they weren't so expensive, and two, I know the second I get one it'll never snow bad enough to need it ever again. That's just fate, you know?
So, that is all for now. I'll try to have something to say a little more often than once a month. All apologies.
