crash & burn...

If it's truly better to burn out than fade away - well, then, I'm well on my way to some serious self-inflicted arson....

Going going going going and then Sunday my body rebelled and there I was sitting on the couch "for just a few minutes," sipping coffee and leaning down to pick up the New York Times Style section so that I could make fun of the wedding announcements and bam...completely tweaked my back and ended up spending the whole day and night sitting on the couch eating frozen cheese pizza and watching "The Office" on DVD (season 2).

Pathetic, I know...

And then last night I had to miss the Be Your Own Pet / Tall Firs/ Awesome Color show because of said back pain and aforementioned general burn-out. Just too damn tired plus I had so much to do that I never really settled into anything even remotely resembling relaxation until, oh, 11 p.m

But tonight? Tonight I am going to the Matt Pond, PA show at Harlow's because I'm not missing both of the shows I wanted to see this week.


Cory says the back thing is probably stress-related. I say it's all stress-related. Something's got to change but first I need to get through the rest of this year and then I need to figure out what oh-so-important thing (insert note of sarcasm here) can be permanently deleted from my never-ending to-do list.

Otherwise it's just going to get even uglier...
