Sandwiches You Will Like

damn, another late nite post. my sleep schedule is a little muffed up, but i suppose four days of sleeping in until 1PM will do that. all-in-all it was a good weekend. the holiday was definitely nice and cozy and i got to see a few friends who were in town. i also caught a few shows and upgraded our home entertainment experience here in the house. i didn't come in contact with any ex-gf's (of a possible three), which is just as well. [the holidays + ex-girlfriends = no good for me]. above all else, the weekend's activities and the time off of work kept my mind off a few things which have lately been screwing with my flow.

weekend highlights

• wed: hung out with Carmen, her bf, and her friend Chinye at the house and later stopped by the Galaxy Hut for a taste of hump nite.
• thurs: deliciousness at my mom's in hoodbridge where my brother and sis-in-law dropped serious gourmet treats such as goat cheese and garlic mashed potatoes and apple crumble with homemade maple ice cream. oh, and if you haven't already tried it, i highly recommend brining your turkey; we've done it that way the last few years with truly excellent results.
• fri: caught alcian blue at artomatic in DC with leigh. they were loud enough to make the sound guy repeatedly ask them to turn down. great shit despite there only being about ten people at the show. before and after, i hung out with leigh and her bf at galaxy hut and the black cat, and closed the evening with some late nite brefast at bob & edith's.
• sat: saw my friends the plums play an awesome show at the hut. they did a great cover of the clean's “at the bottom.” it's one of my favs so i was interested in seeing how they would pull it off. a successful rendition, their version of the song was faster and more aggressive. at the show, got to chat a little with derek, adam, and stacy.
• sun: had lunch with two of the housemates and later bought an a/v receiver for the TV room in the house, making the leap to stereo sound. it's a budget model, for sure, but it sounds great compared to sound of the television speakers and has room to grow if i want to get nuts with surround sound. plus, i got it for cheap because the box had been opened.

i added some pics to the photos section. still more to come there. next up, i'll need to start working on the music section. when it hits, expect minor league music reviews, mixtape artwork and other such nonsense.
