I’ve been bad at the inter­net lately.

I haven’t been blog­ging, I haven’t been tak­ing any pic­tures and I haven’t done much of any­thing else on the ol’ tubes either. This not to say that noth­ing is going on. Kim and I just moved into a mostly empty apart­ment and have been busy mov­ing in and try­ing our best to get set­tled. Right now our entire lives have been revolv­ing around the futon I bought a few years ago– it’s the only sit­ting, sleep­ing, or oth­er­wise reclin­ing fur­ni­ture in the whole pad (apart from an office chair and a drum throne I used for teaching).

Apart from the neigh­bor­hood restau­rant scene and the excel­lent beer within walk­ing dis­tance of the new apart­ment (some­thing that I am sure will affect our life greatly in the near future) I am cer­tain that this new liv­ing sit­u­a­tion will take a pos­i­tive impact on our lifestyle. We have a lot more places to go for a walk, ride our bikes, and just do gen­eral “burn more calo­ries and less gas” activ­i­ties and greater incen­tive and con­trol over how we eat. Nei­ther of us has been to the gym in awhile and I know that I can feel that hav­ing a job where I sit on my ass all day is tak­ing its toll. Once we are com­pletely moved in, I want to try to get in the habit of tak­ing a walk or a bike ride every day when I get home just to unwind.

In other news, a new friend of mine named Geoff asked me to play an open­ing set with him and some friends at the end of the month. Geoff and I are also talk­ing about a project our­selves just for the sole pur­pose of writ­ing and record­ing some awe­some funk / soul influ­enced rock music.

I also have a stack of songs to learn / record for Brett now that I am get­ting set­tled in the apart­ment. Damn. I have a lot of catch­ing up to do.
