I was a statuette
Now I'm drunk as hell on a piano bench
And when I press the keys it all gets reversed
The sound of loneliness makes me happier.

It was good to spend a weekend down in San Diego County with my familial units. We even managed to have dinner at a crowded Filipino restaurant in Cerritos on the way back to dropping me off. All in all, it was a very stress-free weekend, which was a nice change of pace. More on San Diego later; I've got to get to work.
