Or how to tell when your brain has just about had it.

So, Blind Melon is touring. Yah I know. Its like saying Nirvana is touring. How the hell can they tour with their singer, one of my favorite, is dead. I know ACDC replaced their lead singer with much success, but, I just don’t know how I feel about this.

They have some songs on their myspace page that I have not heard before. I can not tell if it’s Shannon (old stuff that was never released) or the new guy Travis, sounding much like Shannon. I know Shannon was not the only talent behind Blind Melon, the other guys did write the music and some of the lyrics. I believe the guitars wrote No Rain, lyrics and all. But, it just seems that it’s going to be impossible to replace him even with a guy who looks and sounds like him.

Living Mike, Dining Mike, originally uploaded by 5.hectic.

I thought I’d stop being lazy and at least throw one picture up here. Here is Mike, sitting in the living room area. You can see the dining room area in the background, and the door way to the kitchen. If you click the picture you’ll travel to my flickr page, where the pictures of the kitchen are living.

Especially on one of the hottest days of the year. But fortunately, we had lots of help from some amazing people to whom we are especially grateful. I won’t say we couldn’t have done it without you, but it would have been really, really difficult. And instead it went rather quickly and painlessly, all things considered. So now we are about half settled, with stacks of boxes filling our offices. (So cool that we have offices!) But it is starting to feel like home, and we are making progress every day. So we are excited for people who haven’t been here yet to see it, and again extend the invitation to out of state friends to come for a visit.

Check out the pictures on Sarah’s flickr page. It’s just the first floor, because we are tired and the second floor is full o’boxes.
