Neat.  I'm only two weeks back.

Bats set listies: 122213/010814

Happy new year, all.

Hi.

How've you been?

Yeah, things have been weird here, too.

I took a solid month's break from spinning regularly.  Sorry folks.  I really needed it.

Lots of things have been put into perspective and lots of steps have been made to take care of a lot of shit.

But it's okay.

I'm okay.

You're okay.

Yes.

Here's the last set I did at The Box.  It was before Xmas, and I wanted to get all up in that yuletide gaiety while I still could.  Necromos helped.

Well there you have it.

I will be spinning regularly, again, starting this Sunday.  Technically I'm kicking things off tonight for a birthday party in Oakland, but, you know.  Ninja Lounge will be back on the 22nd this month, but we're keeping the guests on lockdown.

Don't worry.

You know I treat you right.

.

I have to be honest.

I've been making music, again, in my time off.  My brain was allowed to shift its focus more towards doing that.

And I want that more.

So, my brain needs to make a bit of a shift in priorities.

(But I still love to shake with you guys, as well.  Fear not.)

.

Oh.

Yes.

One more thing.

I have an idea for a new short story.
