12/12

A lot has happend and I’m pretty exhausted. To wrap up the last week of classes, well… I don’t remember Wednesday really at all. Tuesday night I went to open mic again and played bass for Levi, quite poorly I might add. At his place afterwards we watched The Simpsons and I listend to some […]

Will just cald to tell me about an accident at Chicago Midway yesterday: while trying to land during a snowstorm, a Boeing 737 slid off the runway into traffic and killed a kid. No one on the plane was seriously hurt. He then asks me if I remember the story of Jessica Dubroff, the seven-year-old […]

This week sucks. It’s the last week before finals and it’s hard to get out of bed in the morning because it’s cold & wet outside and I just wanna snooze. Falling asleep is way easier than waking up. If I could fall to sleep every night and then, somehow, find myself fully awake and […]

Thursday I drug myself thru the day. We were suppost to be playing Hair of the Dog as a kind of debut for friends & Jeremiah was going to leave a message on AIM letting me know whether it was happening. I woke up and he had left no message, so I cald him to […]

12/3

Got my letter from May yesterday. Journeyed deep into the basement of the Student Life Center to retrieve it from the campus post office, and it is the sweetest thing I think I’ve ever received in the mail—she also attached two desert tree leaves and a clover to the back of it. The clover is […]

Why I’ve chosen to quit:

It’s not for the reason(s) you might think. There isn’t any hardcore drama involved, at least not on my end. But frankly I feel besieged, beleaguerd… we’re way beyond the limits of mastication here. Every lesson I have with Dr Filip feels like I’m wasting his time. I don’t have the chops, I’m not as […]

I have come up with a method for writing melodies. I found a conlang online cald Eaiea, based on musical tones, using all 12 in the chromatic scale. Lately I’ve wanted to compose songs for May, and I believe this might work: take a phrase or line of poetry of hers, translate it into Eaiea, […]

That night was cold. Jordan & I got the hell outta there when Best Buy employees appeard with bullhorns, started dispensing rebates & organizing the line at around 3:30am. No thanks. We relocated next door to the GameStop parking lot, sat in his car with the heat on full blast, and he explaind to me […]

11/25

Got to sleep in Wednesday, and then spend all afternoon reading & talking to May online—so it was a nice relaxing day. Sean had already left for Ohio on his Thanksgiving break. He has nominated Jeremiah to replace him, which makes a lot of sense the more I think about it. We talkt the night […]

11/22

Not sure what to think. But I know exactly what to drink: a six-pack of Natty Light. Sean has clearly given up on the band—he is tired of Ceejay’s constant bum bullshit, always bumming money, rarely paying it back. The three of us need to talk. I don’t know what I’ll say, or if I’ll […]
