Stream of Consciousness Concerning the Awkward Situation of Being Trapped in Conversation With the Romantic Partner of the Object of One’s Affections at a Social Gathering

I’m working on a sequel to this one…

I performed this song at the open mic at Buddies last night, and while it was well received I can’t help feeling I’ve now alienated everybody. Further. No new facebook friend requests for me this morning!

Seven more working days until I’m free of employment.

Things haven’t been busy at work since I gave my notice, but rather than waste away the days clock watching I’ve started bringing my ukulele in with me. When things get slow I half-close my office door and work on new songs. I try to be quiet so as not to disturb my office neighbours, but really I’m not too worried about getting caught. What’re they gonna do, fire me?

Just so we’re all on the same page, no one is allowed to use the phrase “shore up the economy” in 2009.

I spent the earlier part of my New Year’s Eve recording this with Maggie just in time for the Bushman World Ukulele Contest, which has a ton of entries, which is exciting, but also the reason I’m not getting my hopes up.

Happy 2009 everybody, and as you go into the New Year just remember the words someone said to me last night (at least I think this is what he said, we were both kinda drunk and it was loud):

“The world opens before you like an unpalatable oyster!”
