I was listening to some Sublime on the way to work this morning. The band’s self-titled album from 1996 is such a great disc with the “What I Got” single making it to number one. Lead singer Brad Nowell never saw it happen, though: he died of a heroin overdose two months before the album was released.
I can only imagine what kind of music the band might have made if Nowell hadn’t been so self-destructive. What a shame.
This month I will have gone without wearing a watch for one whole year. While that may sound like some sort of personal goal it was really an act of laziness.
It began when my watch band broke while biking to work. I managed to scoop up all the parts but have not gotten around to getting a new pin put in my watch band. In the ensuing time I found that I really didn’t need a watch.
I suppose I’ll take it in sometime this week, if only to have some nice jewelry to wear every now and then.
Let’s see:
Thursday: Conn Showcase
Friday: march and Zydecopious at Seaboard Music
Saturday: Sailing at Lake Gaston, Halloween, and hanging out with our cool neighbors.
Sunday: cleaning, lounging, MythTV-fixing, game-playing, bread-making, Trader Joe’s-shopping
That’s a pretty full four days! As for this week, tonight I go to a Parks and Rec committee meeting and that’s all there is on my schedule for the week. Next week I have a Mordecai meeting and the following week I have my East CAC, Raleigh CAC, and Parks Board meetings.
Hip hop, ya don’t stop.
