Man...as I'm laying down here in bed I feel like I was just beaten with a sock full of quarters. We had a rather grueling IM set tonight at swimmin' and today I've completed my weekly routine for AM Crossfit. My legs are still throbbing. I kicked around giving monday's routine a go through but am laying off since I'm probably ready to give the bod some rest to resconstruct all the muscles I tore down so far. The good news is I completely lost all the weight I piled on last week. That didn't take long. I guess 3 days and 18,000 calories burned later....
Why the fuck am I hearing a lot about how great Skeleton Key is? Over on AI, Chris is talking about them like they are the shiznit (and his tastes in music tend to be most un-indie-rock-hipster in the 10 years I've known him), they are touring with Chemlab (really?!) and I think Buddyhead has been all over 'em too (not suprising). Am I the only one who thinks they are bland cheese? To Chris's defense, at least he's saying the live show is where it's at. I dunno, but from the MP3's on their site, all I'm hearin is bland indie-doofus cookie cutter artsy-so-girls-like-me rock. Sorry but I'm not impressed.
On another music note...I went ahead and grabbed that Sixx A.M. album from itunes and its playing right now and will be in rotation @ work tomorrow. What can I say- that Life Is Beautiful song finally grew on me. As it plays, I'm not feelin it...it's on laptop speakers but still...they gave this dish an extra helping of cheese what with all the spoken word stuff. I get it, how its supposed to be a soundtrack to a book (as if that was at all necessary), but for fucks' sake, you'd think Nikki Sixx would have figured out when to say when by now. The Heroin Diaries were an awesome read, but I don't know if this is really enhancing my purchase of that book.
On a positive note, I totally (re??) connected with that Reeves Gabrels Rockonica album today. I never really let it play through all the way and get into it...but the song Anywhere She Is finally got me roped in. As anybody who has known me more than 5 years knows, Reeves is t3h Awesome to me, but this album never piqued my interest until now. Definitely should check it out...
Some interesting developments in personal and professional life this week. Both seem like they could be good things. Updates abound in the next couple of weeks.
Now off to sleep...get to sleep in to 7:30 tomorrow am!
