For some reason the good vibes from yesterday's affirmation didn't seep into today because today absolutely dreadful. Ever have one of those days where everything you do is wrong? That no matter how many times you do something, no matter how many times you think you've checked and re-checked and think that for the love of gawd THIS time you must have finally gotten it right only to be told, yet again, that no, you didn't...you fucked up...AGAIN...and to do it over and that happens to you like a bazillion times over and over all day long? You have? Well welcome to my Tuesday. The captain would like to draw your attention out the left side of the plane. In the distance you may be able to make out the tattered, smoking remains of my career.

But enough about that. Here at cheap blue guitar, we are all about the love. And looking towards the positive and not dwelling on the negative. And Scooby-Doo Baked Cinnamon Graham Cracker Sticks. We are really into those right now.

An amusing story about the said graham cracker sticks. About a week before I purchased them, I had bought a box of Scooby Snacks dog treats for Deek's insane yet lovable dog. They have been on the dining room table since I brought them home. Last week, The Roommate was late getting home so The Other Roommate (aka The Roommate's boyfriend) and I were watching TV together. I went into the kitchen and grabbed the box of graham cracker sticks, sat down, opened the box and started eating a few. I looked over and The Other Roommate was staring at me, jaw dropped. I leaned the box over to him and offered him some. He looked at me in horror.

"Isn't that dog food, man?"

Silly boy. We had a nice laugh. The straight male roommate and I bonded.

Okay...back to focusing on better days. I just found out that Aimee Mann has a new album coming out and my current issue of Paste has a sample. I can feel myself actually yearn for this new album. There is just something about Mann's music that completely enamours me. No one writes about dysfunction and addiction quite as well as she does, and aren't we all better for it really?

Another positive is Adam cut his trip short and is back home. And aren't we all better for it too really? After all, he should be close to home in case the Vatican calls.
