I swear, I can't stop listening to The Clash's London Calling. I know, I'm a loser for adding it to my collection way too late (though I did get it several months ago). I do own Combat Rock as well, if you really care.
Of course, I started ahead of time on my Untitled piece. What do I get as a reward? Some sort of sickness that consists of congestion and fever. Thankfully no runny nose. I powered thru early stages of the illness to get my piece painted last night. I then went to bed and proceeded to sleep pretty crappy, either because a: I had to get up to go to the bathroom (I hate meds sometimes) or b: I was running a fever the entire night. After picking up Tom's truck (thanks Tom!) so I have means to haul my piece, I promptly crashed on the recliner for several hours. With the History Channel on. I finally got up, heated up a pizza (again) and then loaded up all 8(!) monitors into the truck. Now? I'm trying to kill some time before taking the various parts to the Mercy Lounge.
I swear, this sickness better not cut into potential St. Patty's Day partying plans. Not that I have any plans. Just, you know. Like totally. My God!

In other news, Untitled Nashville will have a show this Friday, March 18 at the old Cannery venue now being run by the Mercy Lounge. I'll again have a piece in the show. Thanks to Rick and Ali for helping me out with the name, which will be: "Artifact". I need to do some construction on it so small childern won't be injured. However, I have done most of the busy work on the project. It's coming together quite nicely if I do say so myself. Cross another pile of computer surplus off my list of "needs to be used for x".
