what's the past tense of hiatus?

so yeah, been busy. not writing on here as much as i'd like to, not that i feel that i have a readership or that if i did they would necessarily expect a great deal from me, it's more that i like to make a core dump of my brain a few times a week and then go back and re-read them a few months later.
it's basically a diary that anyone can read, artistically speaking i'm learning to walk around with no skin on.
the band has been keeping me quite busy of late, we've had a lot of shows and are slowly but surely getting it together to record a 7" or so of material. our demo is now over a year old, almost through it's "second pressing" and mostly songs that we don't play anymore.
this winter has been taking a toll on me physically and mentally, i'm not riding as much as i should, i haven't really run in few weeks and i'm either bored shitless at work or cooped up in the apartment as we yo-yo wildly between rain/slush and sub-zero desert weather. unfortunately the band isn't keeping me busy enough to keep the listlessness and depression at bay. fortunately, i may be involved in one or two other bands playing drums so that get/keep me off my ass for a while.
side project #1 is with mary (who's also in thrash compactor) and russ from totally harsh and band #2 is with doug from envenomed (cincy) and beard (current thrash compactor bass dude) playing more of a dark doom/stoner/metal thang.
i'll let you know how it goes.
