Another weekend. I'm going into this one a little bit sleepy. Had the last bit of auditions last night for the new SMiRK member. I'm glad we're done. Now it's a matter of getting that person prepped. Check the SMiRK website for the new announcement coming soon.

I'm really wanting to get back to doing more .NET stuff... my day job right now's been doing straight C++/Windows programming. It's mostly the drive that's just wearing me out. An hour and a half drive each direction to and from work is a killer. By the time you get home at night and do a few chores it's time to go to sleep, wake up, and turn around and freaking drive back to Bartlesville again. By the weekend I'm so dead I just want to fall through the front door, onto the couch, and snoredrool for a solid 10 hours. But usually it's more like fall through the front door, grab clothes and PA, and turn back around and go to a gig.

Oh well, I'm sure things will turn out for the best, whatever that might be.

I've had to stop using my cellphone as an alarm clock, this is the 2nd time in three nights that two different people have deemed it fit to SMS me between the hours of midnight and 3am.

I know I'm in a band, and I know on the WEEKENDS I do flip hours... yep on a typical Friday / Saturday I am up until around 4 or 5am. I don't think they realize that come Sunday night, I'm trying desperately to get to sleep by 11:30pm so I can get the requisite 4 or 5 hours of sleep so I can get up and drive 70 freakin' miles to work in the morning. I do have a day job, like most of the rest of the planet. I'd lurrrrrve to be just a rock star, lol, but I gotta make the coin too. I don't mind getting calls or SMS messages, in fact I'm more apt to respond to an SMS message than I am a phone call a lot of times. But darnit use some sense and try to keep from SMS'ing me at 2:15am on a Sunday night or 12:30am on a Wednesday night! :P

Anyway that's my rant for the day. I'm sure it's just because they don't know me too well, my closer friends know that sleep is a commodity and a luxury that I really don't get, and when they mess with my sleep they walk the fine line of death ;-) Considering I get probably a total of 25-28 hours of sleep in an entire WEEK (you do the math on that one folks), I'm kinda protective of my naptimes, heh.

Finally updated and merged my blogger.com blog and my original plain 'ol html blog together, since I was starting to have posts in two different places. I'll probably post again today over lunch but thought I'd get a current post out there for Google to catch.

Speaking of Google, I LOVE the new Gmail. I've had it for about 3 or 4 months now and it's just great! I have all my email accounts forward to there so I have everything in one nice, online, searchable repository. Makes it nice when I need to find a regcode for something I bought, or a receipt, or what so and so said, etc.

I've gotta redesign tekchic.com again, but I've been so busy.....bleh. Thinking of moving its hosting finally away from Powweb and over to Brinkster so I can use aspx instead of php. I think Brinkster's a lot more reliable as well.
