Listening to some 10,000 Maniacs, totally revelling in a sound and music that takes me back to a time when I was much more carefree. Rockin' out.

So, the wife and I and her sister and her husband are going up to Kansas City this weekend, to pig out on some good Ethiopian food, and maybe some tapas. We're also going to go see the Bellydance Superstars on Sunday. Which I'm completely jazzed about. I love to see bellydancing when it's done well.

Had a pretty crappy day, until my friends and I played some D&D. That pretty much turned things around. It's always great to hang out with some friends, play something that distracts you from the mundanity of the world, engages the imagination, and so on.
