Tool 09-29-2006

So, what could make my birthday better than knowing I’m 27?  Knowing I’m now 27, and going to see Tool at the Tweeter Center.  Thanks to my darling Christine, for the tickets.

Me and ER…we’re fighting

Last night, it was:

car ejector seat from James Bond and Austin Powers
Shooting through the ground to escape bad guys from Underworld
Jumping off a building and being saved by awnings from [...]
