Turkey Coma

It's almost 1am after Thanksgiving, and here I am stuck to the computer as if it will save me from having to clean up the crusty remains of our feast....I suppose I'm escaping from the gratuitious work of the day. Though joyous, not without its share of drama (I'll spare you the details). So here I sit, trying to ignore the fact that tomorrow Oliver will wake up too early and there will not be a hot cup of coffee to be found in the house.

Band update: There was a bit of a scare with one of the guys possibly wanting to leave the band, but now that he's back on board we're all charged up and ready to go. I'm hoping to do some recording so y'all can listen to what we've been doing for the last 6 months. I'm also desperately trying to come up with a name for the band.

According to hubby and baritone guitar player Mikel, I have a knack for ridiculously bad band names, though I beg to differ. For years, I've been wanting to have a project called "Planaria", which are the little worms you cut in half in biology class, and each half becomes a new worm. The rest of the band didn't respond to that one, but I don't know if it's because Mikel ridiculed it or it's actually that bad (you decide). "Gui Gui" would've been fun, too- depending on inflection it can mean "Good girl/boy" or "Weird" which is what my mom used to practically spit at me whenever I was trying too hard to be cool in high school. Unfortunately, there's already a band whose name sounds similar, the wildly hip and (to me) mostly unlistenable project of a former bandmate. The guy doesn't even speak Chinese! The nerve!

And curse the internet- any decent name I do come up with, is already taken, according to Google. I don't remember many of those except "Camerata" (Mikel: too uppity) and "Three Doors Down" (how was I to know that's a band that's actually getting airplay and doing military commercials?) Without a name I feel that we do not truly exist. If you come up with any good ideas, let me know.
