Weekend Wrapup

Painted the downstairs bathroom, went to wife's boring office party, hung Christmas lights, assisted in the baking of some Christmas cookies, had dinner at the zoo and checked out their holiday night stuff.
 
Friday I worked from home because my Lexus is in the shop having the water pump and timing belt replaced.... $700+ down the shitter.

Saturday I still had no car... worked on rewiring my PA rig and updating both of my harddrives so they have the same music on both and both are up to date with the search databases in my two DJ computers.

One of my buddies picked me up later and we went to an Irish Pub by Notre Dame and sang Karaoke. I did some Journey, AC/DC, Queen, and a few other things. One group of people came up and declared me "a Rock Star" :rolleyes: and bought our table a round of drinks. :) One of the girls in the group works for the Campus events comitte and gave me a card to possibly hire me for a future ND event. :baimun:

Sunday picked my Dad up from the Airport in Kalamazoo, helped him with some stuff at his house, and got caught up on some episodes of Smallville I had DVR'd.

Also played some Dokken tunes that I haven't played since the 80's... and after a few minutes of scratching my head, they came back to me in a flash... like riding a bike. I even remembered the solos and everything. It's weird because I"m notoroius for forgetting entire songs after only a few weeks of not playing them. :embarrassed:

Nothing like the rush of cute girls calling you a "RockStar" :grin:

That must have been awesome.
 
Went out to eat Friday with the gf.

Saturday ran a bunch of errands, finished Christmas shopping, watched Up.

Sunday I didn't do shit, absolutely nothing, besides watching football all day. :embarrassed:
 
Friday - trimmed some branches on a few trees around the house. I still have a few more to do, but I gotta get somebody to pull on a rope so that they don't fall on anything important when they come down.

Saturday - Made an attempt to kill some cute furry woodland creatures. Was unsuccessful, but it was a nice day anyway. It was cold but sunny. I walked approximately 3 gajillion miles.

Sunday - chillaxed most of the day. Watched football. Worked on a new song - the first thing I've written in I don't know how long. Went to have dinner at a friend's house.
 
Friday - Not much happened. Messed around online until the early hours of the morning.

Saturday - Up early for a four hour band rehearsal. It actually went really well. Our new drummer is catching on really fast. We should be able to be up and gigging in January. After rehearsal I went downtown with Mrs D and our daughter to get a Christmas gift for my boss.

Sunday - Played at Church in the morning. Came home and ate lunch, then watched the first half of the Raider game. Went to a friends house and made Fettuccine Alfredo for a dinner for several families from our church. Then pigged out on good Italian food.
 
teh girlfriend's parents are house shopping in LA, so we spent most of the weekend driving around looking at houses.
 
Normal weekend with the exception of having to drive 2.5 hours each way for a single soccer game. For some reason, there is a team in my daughter's travel soccer league on the other side of the state. Great weather and no traffic so it wasnt as bad as it could have been. Our team won.

Best of all, my daughter scored her first goal since playing with this group. She has only played rec ball until now and many of these kids have been at this level for years. She generally gets assists since she normally plays outside and crosses the ball great. This time she was the recipient of a cross and popped one in. I am very proud and happy for her.

Awesome man!
 
Bearcats fan? :helper:

Kelley's house was vandalized this morning... couldn't happen to a nice guy. I hope he fucks you on the eve of your biggest achievement like he did our guys. What a shitty, shitty thing to do to "his" team.

Are he and Rich Rodriguez good friends? Sounds like they'd get along great.

I'll admit... it is really shitty, but I'll put some of the blame on the rocket scientists in the ND athletic department. They are always in such a hurry to do everything.... like hire next year's coach before this year is even done??

How does that compare to hiring one coach before actually checking his references? Or firing another coach when he was just getting going with the best team the school had in years (they really screwed Tyrone Willingham)... and then prematurily extending Charlie Weis's contract when he performed well with the players of the previously mentioned screwed over coach? Nothing surprises me with ND athletics. :facepalm:
 
...Friday- nothing really, a few christmasy things....Saturday- got a clarinet, spent most of the day learning the basics....sunday- more clarinet and a few more xmasy type things...quite a tame weekend really...

I dunno who Rich Rodriguez is.... did he ditch his 12-0 team right before the bowl game, the second one they've EVER been to? :shrug:

I wouldn't play under Brian Kelley because I couldn't trust him. Then again, I have integrity and most college level athletes are a bit light on that, otherwise they'll never make it to the big leagues. :embarrassed:
 
Friday: Went to go see and ex-bandmates band play and then went back to the place they were staying and ended up jamming until almost 5am.

Saturday: Did chores around the house and then my breaux came over about 3pm and we spent about 4 hours recording, then I ate dinner (roast pork loin and red cabbage) and chilled.

Sunday we got up early and went out for breakfast (West River Cafe) I had an omlette with hash browns and Greek toast. The we went and got an Xmas tree (every year guys come down from Wisconsin and set up trees and live out of a trailer for a few weeks.) After that we decorated the tree, hung some pictures and then I watched the Bears/Packers game. I'm glad I DVR'd it because once again the game was Teh suXXors. The Bears are in total disarray.
