corduroy licorice had a bee in his bonnet. it was hard to tell what was more disturbing: the fact that a poisonous insect stinger might become lodged in his scalp or that he was wearing headwear more appropriate for an infant.

i got to see the weakerthans tonight. it was such a great show! i can't believe they were really there, 20 feet in front of me, playing all those wonderfully cool songs. the lead singer, john samson, has a way of smiling in the very corners of his mouth when he's singing. he looks like he's having a good old time sharing his clever, thoughtful, touching lyrics with the world. maybe it's a smile of pride. pride is definitely warranted. some of the songs are amazing pop delicacies, a couple of which bring tears to my eyes with the first few notes of the heartstrings-pulling melodies, and some are bouncing-on-the-balls-of-your-feet, driving guitar rockers.

i left work to go the show and then had to come back after midnight for more work. bleh. fortunately, the light at the end of the tunnel is flickering. thank toledo i'm on vacation on next week. aloha hawaii!
