Once, Twice, Thrice Times A Lady...

Whew! Been busy. Deadline is crazy. My body doesn't like it.

Today I finished up my Project 86 story. Andrew Schwab and company have been through a lot in the last 2.5 years, and Andy had a lot to say. Fortunately, we were able to devote a good two-page spread story space for it.

Just wrapped up transcribing and editing the "What Thrice Says" story. I talked to Riley Breckenridge, who had a lot of things to say. It's neat to see some level headed musicians making music that people are listening to.

Now I'm through with my "BIG" writing (a 2-page Blood Has Been Shed story, a 3-page Thrice story, and a 2-page Project 86 story). I can look at reviewing some albums, some dvd's, some Letters to Ed, some Hard News info, some book and gear reviews, and a bunch of indie albums in "Pick of the Litter."

And David is just as busy if not more so than I am.

If you remember, say a little prayer for us. A boost of divine energy would be most appreciated. Also, if you live close by and wanna bring by some Venti Caramel Macchiato's from Starbucks, we might even wash your feet!

"What you do for the least of these my brethren, you do unto Me." (I'm not being silly anymore, but I could see a correlation here; where if you "minister" to use, you're blessing God, but I won't go there. This is just a neat verse that seems to tell us that if we look outside ourselves and treat someone with love and care (especially when it's a "loser" or "downtrodden" person that the world doesn't esteem too highly or even just a person who can't help you or help boost your status, then you are touching God's heart. I like that.)

I think I like Thrice's music better than Thursday's. I'm a little closer when it comes to Coke vs. Pepsi. Some of my Coke only friends (notice I didn't say "snobs") think that I prefer Pepsi more -- just because I can and do drink both. I think I like Coke better. (Truth be told, I like almost any cola soda. One of my childhood treats when the ice cream man came by was Italian Ice - Cola flavor.)
