Daily Report: Happy Heart Sore Ears

Another good day. Had a good morning of work, and a fair afternoon of work. Spent a couple of hours on the online project in the evening. Maid Go had gone to Bangkok with her son all day today to visit a sick relative, so since there was nobody home to cook for me, Mike and Riza invited me over next door to have bar-be-que with them.

After that, it was out to TQ2 to hang out with Stan, Jeff, Jew and Lance (who is manager Russ's son... nice guy once he gets to know you). Alf and friends have finally gotten the "where-everybody-knows-your-name" vibe back in TQ2, which is awesome. Unfortunately, now they are drowning that vibe out with modern thrash metal music. The Lynyrd Skynyrd and Aerosmith and Led Zepplin still show up occasionally, but sometimes the DJ goes on a tear of Slip Knot, Limp Bizkit, and Rammstein.

It's great music, which I enjoy personally, but it's dark, angry, gloomy music that makes you want to sit at home and shadow box... not go out and drink and laugh with your friends. I suppose if the bar were filled with agnst-ridden emosA young person who is considered to be over-emotional. looking to show off their latest cuttings, it would be one thing, but I looked around the bar, and — aside from Lance — I was the youngest guy in the bar at 38 years old.

Well, anyway, after that, Stan, Jeff, and I headed over to Champion to drink with Jew. Had a good time knocking them back there as well. From there, it was home... with a diet-breaking stop at McDonalds. Oh well... the diet starts tomorrow.
