again it's been days since last i wrote in this journal or worked on the website...again, life's endless details have been distracting me. The latest distraction has been moving furniture around in our house while waiting for this baby to be born...we're moving the living room furniture, along with the home theater system into here, the office/studio...eventually, when i get a couple of phone lines into the livingroom, this desk and office arrangement will go into there. in the meanwhile, it sits half empty. we're also moving the guest room and julian's room around too...he's getting the bedroom that was the guest room, the guestroom bed will go into his old room along with the baby's crib...for as often as we have overnight visitors (about 6 or 7 times a year), it's a waste to have that gust room empty. that's the theory at least!
everything else has been about the same too...work is work and that's all i'll say about that...i've been busy there and i'm greatly looking forward to taking time off when the baby is born. i'm very distracted in my head right now, so, while on the job, i'm not all there...charlie griggs has been working on promoting his gig for this saturday...they decided to go with his suggestion of "entropy" for the band name. they made up these little handbill style posters to distribute (not the greatest, but they'll do) and he seems all stoked about it...that's good. i hope he isn't depending on me too much though...i don't want to get involved with his band. i'd like to work with him, but i'm not confident of the other members of his band. they are nice guys and all that, but i'm not too sold on how deep their committments are or if they really have what it takes to be a REAL BAND...they're clearly stuck in the garage band mode and, quite frankly, that doesn't interest me at all...i'm looking to try something completely different with my art and recordings. something more akin to a radio play or audio performance piece than an actual band with little songs and a throng of crew sluts following them...
well, instead of wasting time and thought in this journal (where i don't have too much to say), i think i'll go work on other parts of the website...more again soon, i'm sure!

we had another false alrm last night...ran to the hospital, thinking this was it, maggie is going to be born to us now, and all for naught...kelly's contractions were very regular and about 5 minutes apart, each one lasting about 45-60 seconds...but she was only about 3cm dialated still...and after they montiored her for four hours and there was no change, they gave her some secenol and sent her home. shit. if this was chicago, they would have induced her, for sure!
julian just got home. he spent the night and this morning with his nana (my mom) because we had to go the hospital...and our house is a disater area...there's furniture piled in the hallway (i'm shampooing the carpet in the bedroom) and this family den office is messy and i feel like hell...i'm tired, emotional distraught and feeling the entropy of another miserable day of waiting, waiting, waiting...to boot, the weather has turned and it finally feels like autumn out there. gray skies and tempetures in the lower 60's...brrrr!
last saturday night (9/23) we went to see charlie grigg's band "entropy" (they picked that name afterall) at this little park in hot springs. it was a very modest affair with about 75 people in attendance...charlie sounded good, the rest of the band sounded alright...i posted more about them in "infamous and insignificant"
the other cool thing that's happened over the last few days is my nephew (who is all of 3 months old now), Jack has a webpage...it was created by brother brian and it's somethig of a newsletter. If you're interested in seeing it, click here. Eventually I will build another page all about family and feature that link in there, but in the meanwhile, please check it out here. I love it!
well, i need to get dealing with the househusband routine before i have to go off to work for a few hours. I don't plan on staying at work late tonight, but i have a coupe of interviews to do and other small tasks to complete before i can leave...but i want to be here, at home, for kelly (and maggie if she EVER COMES OUT)! bye for now!
