I woke up really early this morning, and can’t seem to go back to sleep. Work is going to suck.

Anyway, I’ve been surfing around GT! and the one of the conversations reminded me of my problem with burritos. Here is the story: (I’m guessing on the timeframe here.)

Apollo came to see his family here in Idaho in December of 2006. It turned out that his flight got cancelled because San Jose airport closed down. So the airline put him up in a hotel room near the airport for the night. So, I went over and got him and we went to get some dinner. We found a little taquerita in BODO (Boise Downtown, they’re trying to be cool). We each had a burrito and then we got some coffee from Moxie Java and went back to his room and watched a movie. I left around 9 because I had to work the next day. So, that night I had a really awful stomach flu and that burrito didn’t stay down.

Ever since then I’ve had a problem with the idea of eating a burrito like that. It’s really weird, because nasty ol’ Taco Bell burritos don’t bother me, but real ones cause my stomach to kinda flip even after more than a year.

So, I’m thinking about going to a taquerita for lunch one of these days soon and seeing if I can convince myself to buy and consume one and get over this. If it doesn’t work, there’s always the Subway next door.

I did get through Green Grass and High Tide (barely), and am doing pretty well with the drumming. Though, I’m still on medium. I haven’t gotten much further in the game as I’ve spent most of my time lately in practice mode.

I also got through medium on the guitar. I’ve done some singing but I’m still feeling a little awkward about spending time in my bedroom singing.

The portable air conditioner in my bedroom has decided to go tits up on me. Well, not totally, but it doesn’t spew out cold air any longer. Of course, it has started getting hotter just as this happens. The air conditioner actually belongs to my roommates. I’m considering taking out a small personal loan and buying my own. The nice thing about the one I’m looking at is it mists out the extra water so you don’t have to constantly empty it. I hope I can get this done soon.

I am currently listening to a little stub (as Apollo would call it) of a cheesy Psytrance song that I started this evening. It’s pretty silly stuff, but I kinda like that kind of things sometimes. And the basslines are nice and bubbly, the way good Psy should be.

This may become the ConsuMuse Vol. 2 track for beckteria. It is yet to be named.

Well, I finally went out and bought Rock Band. It’s fun. I’m mostly playing around with the Drums right now. However, I have done a bit of the karaoke part of it as well. I haven’t played with the guitar yet, because it’s a little too much like Guitar Hero, and I’ve already played the shit out of that.

I’ve gotten to medium level on the drums, and tonight I got to Green Grass and High Tide by the Outlaws. I’m pretty much stuck due to the final solo section where I don’t seem to have enough rhythm to keep up with it that fast for that long. I end up getting booed off stage and I want to throw my sticks. I’m not sure if I’m going too fast or too slow, but I just can’t stay on rhythm.

Oh well, I just need more practice.

One thing that I don’t like is in practice mode, I can’t work on individual sections at full speed and that kinda bugs me. I wish I could just play part of it at full speed to get better at it.

Other than that, this has been a fun game. I’m going to see how my brother does with it, since he’s a drummer.
