It’s exam week, which as a music major is a piece of cake, because all the actual high-stakes performance tests (recitals, juries) are already over. Now it’s just easy stuff like Theory. That was Monday, along with Sociology. I had nothing yesterday or today. Last night I slept with Leslie—literally. No sex. It was nice, […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
