i really *did* blow this....this week, really.

i didn't even really do a proper sort over the last week or so. i stopped at last thursday, and then found myself listening to music from 2013 over the last week. i just decided that it was too cold out to bother and that was that. and, i actually wanted to get much more of this done than i have. ugh. it's really, truly been completely wasted.

i kept telling myself that i'd get this finished and then (...). but i've just spent the time ranting and haven't finished anything. it happens sometimes, i know that. i need to get to the next step, now.

in fairness, it *was* cold last friday & saturday, but it hasn't been that bad the last few days, although it was a little bit rainy monday and tuesday. did i miss something? i doubt it, but i'll have time to sort over it, backward, eventually.

i was honestly just in a rut.

for right now, i'm sorting through september as a month, rather than just focusing on this week. as mentioned, i'm not going to be looking at crazy weekends for the rest of the year because i'm not expecting it to be close to warm enough. but, i'm hoping i can get some more normal nights in, with shows that are a little closer to the border, and for bands that i actually legitimately want to actually see. i'll get a short list up soon.

if i go anywhere this week, it looks like it will be centered around the jazz festival. but, it's not obvious that that will actually happen. i've never seen stanley clarke, but...i doubt he even can play that old stuff any more. i'll make space for it, if i go over for something else, though. i might be looking more at next week to start.
