So yeah.  Not sure if I should keep up with this, or if I should keep paying when it comes time so I can have somewhere to write something.  Xanga is the longest journal, written or otherwise, that I've kept.  I don't tell my darkest secrets here, but when I've kept up with it, I've had fun writing and vomiting up my random thoughts to a miniscule audience.

I've been busy, ok?  Mom and Dad are split up - temporary or permanent - nobody knows as of yet, Mom is out in Middle America taking care of business and in a good place, let's hope it sticks.  Dad is temporarily very needy.  I am very sick of being the go-to person for direction, calming down, helping to fix.  Done several times already since the age of 11.

In other news, doing a little more gigs than normal, some actually paying.  I've been enjoying myself, have been sitting in with my saxophonists other band at various venues.

2 weeks until very big work-type thingy that usually stresses me out.  Blessed this year with only one of these work-type thingies - knock on wood.  Last year there were six.  Ugh.

I am one of those creatures, my people, that tend to do this kind of thing in spurts.  Then I leave for awhile.  I get into other stuff.  More recently, I've been addicted to online poker for play chips, and real poker at the Rod & Gun one Friday a month. I kill in play poker - but the best I've done in real life poker - where people see my face and the curse of the red ears comes into play - is placing 6th out of 40 or 50 people in two tournaments.  Damn Antes to hell.  I like blinds, man.

C'est la vie.

George Lucas is a wonk.

What's the deal with only releasing the original Star Wars trilogy (sans digital enhancement) as part of a package with the dig. enhanced versions - which he already put out and people already bought?

Doesn't he like his purist fans?
