My mood ring broke again and I lost the color-changing part.

The next one I get won’t be as cheap.

My Buddha ring has taken its place, for now.

I would like to upgrade that one too.

I am working on some songs for an upcoming show in December.

But, I have been a little distracted.

I easily obsess onto something when I am stressed and it gets very difficult to move onto something else.

Both Mike Nobody and the Island of Misfit Noise will perform.

But, each will be a little different.

Since I am playing one set alone, I can prepare more details.

It may have a more complex, jazzier, sound.

The other set will be simpler.

I do not know if we will have a chance to rehearse together.

I want to make it as easy as possible on everyone involved.

It may have a more straightforward blues-based sound, pop song structures, with plenty of room for improvisation if desired.

I need to go make some coffee.
