weekends

URRR! I hate having to work on Saturdays. I rarely work more than 1 per month but I still HATE IT!!! Tomorrow is my Saturday to work and this has been a stressful week anyway. I remember when "weekends off" was the only thing about my job that I liked. Those were the days.

List #1

In the MOVIES

Another Friday is here! The weekend is just minutes away. No plans and that's okay. Sometimes I like to just stay home. Last Friday I took a trip to the Black Cat Burrito in Boone, NC after work. The drummer for Jem Crossland & the Hypertonics wanted me and my ex to ride with him to the show so he could drink and chill on the way home. That's 2 hours up and 2 hours back. That was a LLOOOONNNGG night. Got home @ 4am Saturday. Don't want to repeat that!
Found out this morning that I'm in the background scene of a documentary film,
"Hot Rods, Rat Rods & Kustom Kulture: Back From The Dead: The Complete Build". Wish they could've come up with a longer name for it. Apparently, the scene was shot one year when I was at VIVA LAS VEGAS ROCKABILLY WEEKENDER. I'm wearing Elvis shades and although I haven't seen the film, I was told that I look lost. Go figure! I'll have to see if I can find it at my local Best Buy or Wal-Mart. Autograph seekers and paparazzi please give some time and distance to adjust to my new found fame.

Vacation to Nowhere

I took the week of June 1-7 off from work (week 1 of 4 vacation time) . With the price of gas so high and my hourly wage not rising with "cost of living" I stayed at home. I mean, I really stayed at home. It was sooo hot and humid all week that it almost took my breath away anytime I opened the front door. So, I watched more daytime tv than I have in years. Jerry Springer, Maurey Povich, all the court tv... the world is going to HELL IN A HANDBASKET!
I did manage to finish up 13 new paintings for the Rockabilly BBQ. I sold 20 or 21! That was a good thing! If I could do that once a week or two I'd be on permanent vacation.
