I finally sucked it up and bought a moleskine pocket notebook. I figure how could picasso be wrong? I've been wanting one for a while, but it just fell really low on my list. I mean after all a limited edition 'Exhumed' LP is more important than something to aid my creativity right? I got it yesterday and wrote in it for thefirst time this morning. I'm hoping to use it to write down the ideas that flood my head on a daily basis which I promptly forget because I don't write them down.

I've been listening to a lot of great stuff recently. COC, Exhumed, Kyuss, Ted Nugent and the list goes on. I'm really amazed by Down's NOLA. Just an incredible piece of southern metal.

I've been going to the gym a lot recently. Looking to tone up. I've been going to the gym since August and I'm really happy with the results. I've seen a lot of changes in my shoulders and chest. Some in the arms. I've been riding the exercise bike for about 5 miles three times a week. I don't need to lose any weight - I'm just toning stuff up and improve my overall health. After all I am 30 and things were not as firm as they once were. I'm staying pretty steady at 155 - which is pretty much my ideal weight.

Not much else going on here. Kim's great. Living in the country's great. The cats are great. My desktop was infected with the W32.Alcra.B virus which sucked. It did all kinds of crap, but everything (mostly) is back to normal.

I sincerely hope everything is going well for you all out there.
