Hello there!

So this has to be quick because I'm still slammed busy and overtired from the end of tour and the weekend, but I wanted to update about the last bit of my trip, etc.

So in Charlotte, I got to see Justin for a couple of hours - it was nice to see him, but entirely too short a visit for my taste.  I'm going to have to make a real effort to get to Charlotte once the current insanity calms down a little bit.

Speaking of current insanity, the Zombie Prom went smashingly well - it was smaller than last time, but those that did come were all game for the madness of it, and I think everyone had a great time.  That was Saturday night, and all of Sunday was either sleeping (something I still need to do rather desperately) or cleaning from the party.  I'll have pictures soon, but not immediately, because the day is so slammed already.

Today has been one emergency after another with Quickbooks and such at MWS, and it's eating into my already-limited time to get back into the swing of working here.  At least MWS is calling me to help them (despite the fact that after all day, I apparently can't help them at all - Quickbooks is the most opaque program I've ever had to deal with tech support for, and their support knows the least of any complex program's support I've ever talked to), I guess.  That's a good thing.  I'm exhausted and frustrated, of course, but what else can I do?

I'd totally nap if I could stay off the phone long enough to get one in, but it's not looking good at the moment, so there you go.   Time to go drink more water.

Meet the newest member of my household.

It's a big week in the life of Matt.

I'm going to Culver City every day to work on a show for the Food Network (expanding PCW's experience and contacts in the TV industry), Emily is still out on Bon Jovi, and I'm starting to get a little more serious about doing more real computer work.  I have a bunch of MWS stuff to do first, but I need more (and more local) clients if I'm going to make this JVS thing work.  So that's all big stuff.  I have other big news that I'll let drop in the near future - probably this coming weekend.  A couple things have to fall into place first, but they're coming.

Working every day from somewhere else is tough, especially with the dog here.  I'm up early (it's barely after six and I've already showered, let Cleo out and started work on MWS' site again), and I really should take her on a walk before I go to work.   So I probably will.  And I need to bathe her cause she's getting smelly.  I can tell because she's sitting on my lap, and i can smell her.  Maybe a shower tonight before I go to bed.  That wouldn't be a bad idea.

Anyway, things here are going pretty well, if busily - and I'm even remembering to water my blog.   Oh, and check out my wine post on the forum - it's detailing the process of making wine that I'm engaged in - fun times!  I'm sure I'm totally fucking it up royally, but whatever.  I like the forum format for keeping track of a process in one place.  It's like a mini-blog.  In fact, were I to start a blog today, I'd seriously consider using it.  It would really facilitate replying and conversation, and I could do longer-term things like winemaking in one post or a subforum, if they got really long. That's not to say that I don't like this format, cause I do.

Okay, back to work for me so I can walk the dog in an hour.  Fun times.
