Weekly Recap: 5/16-5/22

It was a bad week for metal. Ronnie James Dio, the beloved singer of Elf, Rainbow, Black Sabbath, Dio, and Heaven & Hell passed away, as did manager Debbie Abono who worked with a lot of the Bay Area bands in the 1980's/1990's, and Isis broke up. The death of Dio is the one that most affects me as I don't care for Isis and the manager is not a position that has much of an effect on listeners. It is of course still unfortunate though.

I picked up two new CDs this week: the new Exodus and a classic album by Kyuss, finally getting over whatever I had against them previously.

I have been busy much of this week preparing trials. I had one on Thursday over child support. Mrs. Metallattorney showed up for support and because she has always been curious about seeing me in court. I have another one on the First of June over custody. I'm feeling a little burnt out on family law of late. Oh well, hopefully after the next trial I won't have too much to worry about with it for awhile.
