my bus will be here at nine oh three to take me to illustrious first avenue where i'll be checking out some bands in the 7th st. entry and drinking 2-4-1 drinks in the mainroom to the strains of hip-hop and dancehall reggae...
note on my previous mention of 1/29, the other reason we decided to have christmas that weekend is because my mom's main hangout, J.T.'s Bar and Grill in Superior, WI is having a benefit for her to help with medical expenses and such 1/29. although i doubt there's anyone looking at this blog who could actually consider going, it's sure to be a fun time. there will be games w/ prizes, a raffle, a silent auction; plus all you can eat sloppy joes and coney dogs for five bux! i am pretty sure it is from five pm to seven pm. yay! possibly more fund raising efforts to follow, to be determined... :)

been back for a few days now, ain't had time fer postin'. don't got much now neither. will post more soon...
last few weeks were good, spent pleasant time with Mom and my brother. we moved x-mas to the weekend of 1/29 cuz we were all pretty broke. My Mom's health is way better. The new chemo regimen they have put her on had been working amazingly well. Her CA-125 levels have come down considerably. After her chemo treatments next week(she gets treatments 4 days in a row, every two weeks right now) her doc will have a ct scan done and that'll show how much the tumours have actually shrunk. She was here in Mpls. yesterday after seeing a specialist in Edina for a second opinion. The doctor she saw was really impressed with how well she is doing! After her appt. I met up with her and her buddy who drove her down at O'Donovan's(a great pub downtown by First Ave, excellent food!) and we hung out and talked for an hour or so. In March a favorite band of ours, Flogging Molly will be playing at First Ave and she'll be coming down for the show! We just saw them a couple of months ago there and had a hell of a good time, can't believe they are coming back so soon. I'll post the "Flogging Molly" story when I am not twenty minutes from a class...
School's going reasonably well so far, except for me needing to get serious about things- I've got more advanced electronic art classes but really don't feel I've accomplished much as an artist and, um, need to crack down and take it seriously I guess. Figure out what my goals are, what the heck I want to do and then actually follow through on doing things.
That's all for today, gots to get to my Contemporary Moral Problems class and it's on the other side of the Mississippi in fourteen minutes.
