State of Diddly Address and Jukebox the Ghost

Just to give you a time line of my life, the first half of this post has been hanging out for 4 or 5 days on my computer and the last paragraph was written today.

So things haven't exactly been going swimmingly for me lately though that's not to say I've been sinking either. More doggy paddling at the shallow end towards the stairs because it's still somehow faster than walking. I've been like uber depressed for the past two months or so and I have no idea why. And that's scary more than anything because to my screwed up mind any level of depressed can get pretty dangerous. But who cares about that? I deal with Danger the way Xavier does. You know, before she rebelled, killed Wing, and turned the X-men against the Prof. Then I've been pretty sick for a little over a week now. Like losing a pound a day kind of sick, which coupled with the previous depraved state of my mind is doing really funny things to my logic and sensibilities. On top of that, there is just so much drama going on at work (and I'm not even talking about all the corruption and questions of legality worming its way out of the woodwork). They've taken my weekends from me so now I have no chance at a social life and I work hard enough as it is to keep that thing running on it's current life support. They've moved me to a different house so I miss my guys and co-workers and now I've got all these other guys just pushing me to see how far I'll let them go so I have to pretend to be all strong and knowing and adult when inside I feel like a little girl that just lost her favorite doll. Also all that wish washy crap with Mr. Valentine. I think I know now why he's 40 and single.

Anyways, despite all this I absolutely had to go see one of my favorite bands, Jukebox the Ghost at the Echo last Tuesday. And they were awesome. They put on quite a show syncing the lights to the songs, engaging the audience, and just joking around with Charlie Sheen (they sang him in to quite a few verses). There are a few things that will always stick with me about this performance. How the audience shouted in unison the line 'shouted in unison' from one of my favorite songs, Static (my favorite performance of the night too). To turn my head to the right dramatically with the music of Empire, the song that introduced me to Jukebox, between the lines 'my heart' and 'is my keep.' Their impromptu air guitar encore of Victoria after their amps started picking up some nazi radio station. And how stupid I felt when I found out that 'Leonard Stone' really is Jesse Kristin. He's all the way in the back! How am I supposed to recognize him?

A few more random things: For the first time Glee will be covering a song that I've seen performed live. Though I'm not quite sure the Warblers have the same quirky stage presence as Neon Trees and their 'ball up all your bad habits and throw them onstage' thing. I'm giving up spoilers yet again for Lent this year (you know, for solidarity), which is actually really hard because I don't have the funds to keep up with certain comic titles without them and Fox releases so many for Glee every week. Re-reading this post, I think I might do better abstaining from parenthesis use instead. Also, I did the geekiest thing ever today. I rolled a 20 sided die. That's right, I played Dungeons and Dragons for the first time. I joined a game already in progress as an Eldrian Druid. They came across me naked in a field and offered me a cape. I'm joking and if you watched Community you would know that. I do have a hawk though. I named him Barnell.
