Dorian is in his new forever home now. What a trip it was. Ill-advised, but it certainly could have been worse. We were in the *mountains* and for a NY boy with long hair and a leather jacket it's not always a good place to be. The town (Sylva NC) is actually where the movie Deliverance was filmed. If you've never seen it, it is a good view into how 75-80% of the USA actually is. The bonuses were that we did a stealth run at night, just in and out and didn't hang around too much. Got a fancy rental car courtesy of SPV - no wonder they had/have money issues. Weather was good going down, but bad coming back up. Hit that big mountain going east on I-40 between Asheville and Raleigh-Durham in a thick fog. If you've been there you know the one I mean. Also lots of fog in the Pocanos. Face it, Pennsylvania always sucks for driving. Either it's bad weather, construction, deer, or just idiot drivers.

I hate traveling with William, we're just too opposite on the road. He wants to know exactly how far to each exit and I'm just like "I dunno, it's exit 39B, keep going." He wants to laze in the hotel room until 9 or 10am and I'm ready to go by six. I want to eat breakfast, since I can, and he doesn't want to. He skips dinner, that's a big no-no with me. You don't take my supper without reason. I love driving at night, he'd rather drive during the day but then he sleeps it all away. He was the one in charge of actually getting directions for there and back, it's a good thing I got them on my own anyway because he just figure I'd know to get them anyway despite he stating he would get them. Grrrr... I just don't travel well with him. I went to be at midnight or 1 most of the travel days, he was up until 4 or 5. You sleep when you can on the road, not when it's 'convenient' for you. He would have been oil spotted so bad... Thought about it, but you just can't do that when it's not business.

Dorian is just as lovely as his pictures made him out to be. He's got a great temperament and although he's still a little shocked from the trip and getting out of his foster home. He's already up my butt at the time. Thinking he's more purebred cocker than anything else, he's got the 'show' walk/jog down and just seems to run that way on a lead. He was a very good boy for someone back in the day before he fell on hard times. His farts absolutely stink though. Boy's got some problems there. He's allergic to all gluten things, so this special food he's on is probably what's doing it to him. Venison and Bison and sweet potatoes. He seems to like it.

Still recovering a bit, didn't get much sleep in and now have all sorts of laundry to do. Never seems to be enough time. The optical day job is giving me about 3-4 hours of take home work per day, in addition to the other projects I've been working on so there's just no time. Even now I'm typing up some medical letters. Highly illegal because I'm not supposed to take charts out of the office, but when the hell else would it get done? Watch, I won't get busted for the drugs or the prostitutes or tax fraud, it'll be for taking work home with me.

Things are... else wise exciting. Karen Taylor died from her spider cancer or Thurday or Friday last week. She was in a lot of pain so it was good. Floyd is kinda beside himself, but he knew it was coming. Karen was a hoot, all Native American and piss and vinegar. She called them like it was and didn't give a rat about being popular or liked. She'll be missed.

Amy's being deported middle or end of next month. That shit sucks, they appealed twice and got screwed over by cash hungry lawyers, so maybe she'll be allowed back at some point to live with her husband, maybe not. The baby has to go with her too, so there's America breaking up yet another happy family.

Ron, contrary to popular rumour, did not have a fucking happy holiday, he was in hospital with a blood clot. Don't know where things like that get started. Yeah, I wish he could have had a better season, but at least he's alive. Stopped at his house in Ithaca just to make sure it was still standing and he does have some of his friends keeping it up while he's away.

Got a letter from my granny today, that's always a nice thing to come home to. She's 80 and starting to lose it a bit, but she's my gran.

Found a good Alan Parson's bootleg. It's an actual board recording, and seems to be a fun setlist. Haven't listened to it yet, but why waste time not sharing. Someone will get a kick out of it.

Will get some pics up of Dorian as soon as I can. Been shooting in RAW mode and while it's nice photo wise, it's such a pain in the ass to work with.

Went shopping with the gang today. Had to get out of the house as the phone wouldn't stop ringing. William was trouble, as he always is. Went to a used bookstore on 57 because I always get the kids one book a year. So I got the kids one book each, three kids total of $15. William decides that today is his Christmas and purchases $50 for himself, and that was after making him put back several books. Went to Daddy's (band equipment), someone must have unloaded a few jackets because there were all old skool buttons. Found one of Joey and put it on him, better than the 'I'm big in Japan' shirt from last year. Kinda funny when he couldn't see it without his glasses. Best part was the two guys ringing us out were named Cliff and Jayse. I know, rite lol. Unfortunately they looked nothing like and were kinda modern hipster queer that I don't dig. Came out of it with another furman and a Manley wah, post Vai. They did have a nice Ibanez 12acoustic but decided against it in the cold weather.

Heading back tomorrow for round two. Gonna dip farther south and hit mid Syracuse and points south. Because now I have a lot to talk about and can get it out a bit.

They've done a PR on the 4tour. It's only as Sonispheres for now, but other dates are being pursued. Don't call me, call management and legal. They can talk, I cannot. I will say that Bush has stepped up to do vocals, not Joey. So leave me out of it. I am done with it.

Other news is that Trudy is suing the LepCamp. If you saw the money she's asking for as her 'cut' and compared that to what I made, or what any of the other crew made you'd be laughing.

Here's an old bootleg from the Archives Du Soob, 'cos I'm feeling nostalgic thinking about a trip through Cleveland that's coming up.

The amazing part of the weekend was meeting up unexpectedly with a familiar face.


Andy's gone on the Sugarland crew now. He's doing well, busy with the eastern midwest right now. Other than that all is well. My car needs an oil change, but it will have to wait. On the road again tomorrow, this time north. If anyone's in the Toronto area, gimme a holler. I've got a block of time around lunch with nothing to do. Any good places to eat around EMI Canada HQ?

Aiegh! Add twenty five years and a little Mexican twist and voila.

( Small aside about Kristy's niece and nephew )

Putting together (still) a Bon Jovi compilation for Connie and Jenny. Hopefully stuff they don't have. Lori would probably love it too. WTF do I meet up with all the BonJovi fans? Why can't I find more Zeppelin fans?

The crocuses have sprouted in Paris. We still have snow here. Boo.

Still sick. Still put in a 12 hour day. Remember most of today, which is a sight better than yesterday. Don't remember it. Wasn't doing any illicit substances either.

What better to pass the time than bootlegs?

In lieu of anything more interesting, I bring you a meme and some bootlegs.

I'd love to talk about what happened Friday, but William's calling and I don't want to hash it up again.

Have spoken to Pete - they put out a release about his condition, all vague stuff, just enough to explain some of what's been going on. Kate did a wonderful job of treading that line, and the press has already picked it up in a few locations. I just really want the tiredness to end, that's not who he is. He could probably deal with being so dizzy all the time - just like old days - but when he can hardly get out of bed it's just not right. He's done a lot of things wrong with his life and it's hard to watch him continue to pay for it after all he's already been through.

I've an appointment with Andy later on in the week sos we can 'talk'. I really miss Paul and Andre.

Rumour has it there's about 2" of snow in Dublin and 'it's not that bad'. From looking at the London news you'd think the world was about to end.


Storm that we'd be thankful for here

Really, I'd love a day when we only get two inches. Trade ya!

My doggie's ill. Like, seriously. He's in hospital right now. They've done xrays and an ultrasound so far. Can't figure out why he's vomiting blood and trembling. He just isn't himself, he suddenly seems very old. His appetite is there, he wants to eat and does, but it all comes back up. He's also having a Cushing's flare up right now, so its looking pretty bad. The doc gave him an IV 'cos he was dehydrated and now they're keeping him overnight for observation and they're going to re-run the ultrasound in the morning to see if anything's changed.

So, have been home from work for a while waiting to hear from the doctors.

Gonna talk to Andre for a bit. He's back home in Germany now, resting up for a few days before going out with Dio. It's nothing but fun trying to watch a German spell Albuquerque.

Where to start. Lots of varied points today.
