Waiting for the gas man November 9, 2006
Posted by Patrick in : House, Music , trackbackThe gas man does not visit houses on weekends, but only business hours during the week. So, I’m currently sitting on my bare floor waiting for him to drop by. It’s comforting to find that my gas was not even turned on. I turned on the furnace a few days ago, but all it blew was cold air. I was scared that my pilot light was out and gas was leaking throughout the house. But when I called up my gas company yesterday, they informed me that it was shut off.
In the meantime, I’m trying to get a plan together for the next several weeks. What should I change and what order will I do it in? And how? It gets a little overwhelming at times, I must admit. It seems the best plan has to be one step at a time or you won’t get anything done.
So, I’ll return to planning…
P.S. Through Adrian, I read through dissections of three Hold Steady songs from NPR. I really enjoy Craig Finn’s wordsmithing, but I didn’t know that his songs were this crafty. I picked up Separation Sunday about a month ago and I really enjoy it. Though it can be dark and difficult to listen to at times (read a good post from Colin about hope in music). I’ve been describing them as a mix between Bruce Springsteen and Pavement with a raw edge. I hope to get their newest one in the near future.

I didn’t really get into Separation Sunday until after the lyrics sunk in for a number of months. Musically, I like Boys and Girls more, but lyrically I like it less.
