Probably should have mentioned this around here sooner, but I’m now back from Worcester, MA where Wassy and I went to catch a Dream Theater headlining show during their tour with Iron Maiden.

Like I mentioned before, I’m trying to keep the small random stuff more on Twitter/Facebook than trying to write about everything that’s happening in my life.

Well it’s a couple weeks since the release of Porcupine Tree’s new album, The Incident and I’m going to revisit and revise my opinion of it. I’ve had a chance to spin it a couple more times, as well as hearing it live and seeing the video show. There’s also been some stuff happening recently

I have returned from my weekend trip to Philadelphia. As mentioned earlier, my friends and I had been planning on heading south to see Porcupine Tree in concert at the Electric Factory in downtown Philadelphia.

I’ve got a few things to report about since my last update. First of all, I think I’ve finally settled on a basic color scheme/design for my mom’s quilting/craft website. I’m still tweaking it at the moment and I’m trying to decide if it looks too…web 2.0-y for the craft content. But I finally found
