Tomorrow, I leave TX, without any real idea of when I'll be back. Again. That's fine :) I've had some lovely quiet days!
Being home means:
Aaaaaaand then I found out that they're talking about FirstBourne in China, so who knows what that could mean ;)
And lastly, Spires were finally able to announce a really cool show with Epica, Fleshgod Apocalypse, Arkona, and The Agonist!

It's a busy week coming up. Four days of Spires pre-pro with the material that Jack and I worked on a few weeks ago, then three days of Boudicca rehearsals, and lastly, Spires will play with Hibria on Saturday at the Middle East in Cambridge, MA.
I have another photoshoot tonight, and I need to pack a lot of clothes (and probably my espresso machine). Then it'll be back to Boston, then Atlanta, Boston again... :)

A pitcher of green juice and Xenoblade

Parking like an asshole
Mom's excellent cooking: Salmon, zucchini noodles, other asian-y noodles
Maghm also made rum balls with Kraken :D
Seeing my dog, Trudy <3 She is almost 15 years old in human years.
And of course, being back at my command station!

The blonde/silver streaks also made a brief appearance during warrior prep for Queen Boudicca: The Metal Opera stuff...

The Iceni supposedly had red hair and blue warpaint. Reminds me a little of Arch Enemy, with Michael Amott's and
Alissa's hair.
Alissa's hair.
Aaaaaaand then I found out that they're talking about FirstBourne in China, so who knows what that could mean ;)
