So much can happen in five days, it’s crazy. I’ve been meaning to update this sooner, and even started it a couple of times, but then something else suddenly came up.

I’m trying to remember what all happened since the last entry… I know there has been a lot, so it’s hard for me to pinpoint a few. I’ll give it a try though…

- On Sunday I played “lead” guitar at church for the first time. Again, I’ve been playing the guitar for about a year now, and I felt pretty comfortable after the last practice for my first “performance.” But then it happened. The sound guy who was doing it that morning (normally it’s me), didn’t know what the heck he was doing… Gah. It was so frustrating. Things just got screwed up and the whole thing bombed. Mind you, people still said it sounded okay, but I know it could have been so much better. Now I’ve made the stipulation that I’ll only play again provided it’s a different sound guy, someone who actually knows what they are doing.

- I saw War Of The Worlds in theaters on… hmm… I can’t even remember what day it was. A few days ago, anyway. It was good though, I enjoyed it. There was a bit of swearing, but overall it was clean I think. The higher rating it received (PG-13 in the States, 14A in Canada) was because of the concepts implied and tense scenes, not so much for what you actually see. Though, there is a fair share of violence. Either way, it wasn’t really that bad. I liked it.

- Future Shop called today and said I got the job! You are now looking at (err… reading from?) Future Shop’s newest Sales Associate. That’s one position higher than the entry level, which is kind of weird but cool. I’ll be working in the computers section, selling all of their accessories but not the computers themselves. So hard drives, video cards, sound cards, mice, keyboards, blank CDs, blank DVDs, printer cartridges, etc. The thing is they want me to work tomorrow morning at 9:30 AM. Wow, talk about fast. So I’m working tomorrow from 9:30 to 1:30, then Saturday from 9-5. Ouch. I’ll let you know how it goes.

- I talked with a firm that looks after Hollywood Records’ publicity/promotions (they originally contacted me a while ago), and it looks like we may have some stuff coming on Renown Magazine for one of their new artists. Things like a review, maybe an interview, maybe a giveaway. Lots of possibilities.

Those were a few of the “major” events, I guess. Other than that there has been the regular amount of review writing, a shift at the arena, and so on and so forth.

I have been reading The Barbarian Way over the past few days too, and I must say it’s been quite good so far. I’m digging it a lot. I’m only about half way through though, so we’ll see how it finishes.

Alrighty, well, my laptop battery is going, so I’m off. I’ll let you know how my first shift at Future Shop goes.

Godspeed.
