This article was quite interesting. If only they could bust ALL spammers and send them to prison to experience some of that “hot farm action” they usually are promoting right up their shitters. If it were up to me, spammers would get the death penalty. Fucking lowlife pieces of monkey crap.

Gas was $2.09 this morning when I filled up! This is fucking insane, it was 30 cents more in CA last week too. All I know is when Clinton was president, I was paying $1.29 a gallon for gas. Hell, I was paying that just over a year ago too if I recall correctly. This is bullshit, it is getting too expensive to drive anywhere! My next car, whenver I have the misfortune of having to get one, is going to be one of those hybrid cars. Fuck drving, I have always hated it, and now I hate it even more. When are these fucks going to perfect beaming technology like on star trek?!

I’ve been catching up on the TV I missed when I was gone. Sopranos last week was really good, and the season finale of Smallville was amazing! I can’t wait until next season to see what happens. Last week’s Raw was alright, but not as good as recent weeks. The thing with Eugene and The Rock was pretty entertaining and the tag match with Benoit/Edge vs. Evolution was very well done. Deadwood was pretty good too, but man they sure love to use the work “cocksucker” a lot.

I just saw an article that reports Coke is coming out with a lower carb version of their most tasty drink, and are calling it C2. I wonder how it will taste. This whole low-carb thing is out of control, just like the low-fat thing used to be. In a few years they’ll be onto some other fad like low-protein because suddenly that will be bad for you.

Last nite I spent most of my tv watching time folding sleeves for the Government Issue record, a task I will continue tonite, along with folding inserts. I have so much to do outside of work and such little time to take care of it all. I wish I could just have a few days off of work to catch up on everything but that isn’t a possiblity.

Back from my 8 day trip to CA. It was a lot of fun, but very tiring. I’m back at work now and what made coming in on a monday morning, still on CA time so good was….

THE GOVERNMENT ISSUE RECORDS ARE IN! THE SLEEVES TOO!

This means once the plastic bags arrive, which will hopefully be in the next day or two, the folding and stuffing can commence. For those who may care, there is 100 on yellow vinyl that you can only buy from the SC Mailorder. The website will be updated later this week with all the info, as soon as they are stuffed and ready for shipping.

Total CA food tally:
In and Out: 3
Pinks: 2
Del Taco: 3
Cheesecake Factory: 1
Korean BBQ: 1 (and a hell of a lot of fun including the post-meal tour of CA)
Duke’s: 1 (I regret not going more than once)

Total record haul: Plentiful, I’m doomed once the credit card bill comes. Best score of something old: A sealed copy of the Superheroines album on Bemisbrain for 17 bucks, which was almost half what they wanted for the open copy on the wall!

I took a few pix of some things on the trip that I’ll post once I get them pulled off the camera. I have a busy week ahead of me laying out the sleeve for The Cheifs record, and I have to remaster a CD for Mystic, plus prepare the Manor for not only a visit from my sister, but for the big Memorial Day BBQ bash in a week! So much to do, so little time!

Still out in CA. The work portion of the trip is done, and it was a lot of fun, and very tiring. Now I’m on the mini-vacation/punk rock business trip portion of my journey.

Today I will be getting SCR-006 mastered! What is this release you ask? Well it is…

SCR-006: THE CHEIFS - Blues 7″!!!!

That is right, I am doing a very limited, officially sanctioned reissue of one of the BEST old L.A. punk sinlges of all time! This will be a one time only pressing of 400 copies and there will never be a second pressing. The original pressing of this single sells between 200-300 bucks on ebay these days and rightfully so, as it is fucking brilliant and there was not many of them made. I’m really excited about this one, as I am about SCR-005: Government Issue, which should be out next week!

So far the food count is:
In and Out: 2
Del Taco: 2

A much-needed and overdue trip to Pinks is also in the cards for me today.

Thanks to Jon C, I now have the inserts for the Government Issue 7″ I’m putting out. The printer shipped the sleeves the other day and they’ll be in tuesday and the vinyl should be here by the end of next week, so when I return from CA, all the pieces will be here and I can start assembling them.

I also laid out the label for SCR-006 last nite to bring with on my trip to CA when I get the record mastered and sent to the plant! Details to follow soon…

Home sick for the third day in a row. I started feeling crappy on sunday, but thought it to just be allergies. I was wrong and I’m sick. It has moved from my head down to my chest an throat, and it feels like a truck is parked on my chest, but that is an improvement from how I felt on monday. I need to heal up, fast! I leave for CA again this saturday and this sunday I’ll be at the WWE PPV in Los Angeles! I’ll be out in CA for work again, plus a little vacation at the end. I’m getting SCR-006 mastered when I’m there too and by the time I return, the sleeves and vinyl for SCR-005 (Government Issue) should be here!
