I said I would tackle this week & wrestle it to the ground, and that I did. Nothing much I want to remember about it. (Except maybe when getting back to the room after midnight Friday night, exhausted, there came a light tapping at our door—Tayler, that funny mix of ebullient & courteous drunk, inviting […]
Wow. I never want to drink again. Ever. Well: Friday afternoon was nice enough. Ceejay and I got very stoned on some dankity-dank sitting in back of Sean’s Jeep on the ride up to Echo Hollow, hunkering below window level to escape cop eyes. Then we practiced at Jerry’s, which seems to be our new […]
So the past week has been busy: Week 5 of school. I’ve decided to create a whole language—like what if every family had their own language & oral tradition passed down thru generations? Who am I kidding, I don’t have time for that. But it’s an interesting idea nonetheless. I’ve gotten smashed with Tayler a […]
With Sean in the Pacific Northwest I had the dorm to myself Friday night. I did nothing but veg out, watch TV, and fall asleep before ten. Woke up 12 hours later to another cryptic e-mail from my nephew, Prince William, so I decided it was time to go see him in person to find […]
I don’t remember anything about the ride to the airport or the flights themselves except I had the middle seat and slept soundly from takeoff to landing both times. I’m sure the folks next to me were each a captive audience to my pharmaceutically enhanced snores, but I truly needed the sleep and was happy […]
Hah. He actually gave them to me, he just doesn’t remember. I’m sitting at the computer in the old Malvern house, surrounded by half-packt boxes and crates, unable to sleep due to some counterintuitive effect of the benzodiazepine. I simply don’t care that I’m tired. My flight leaves Nashville in a few hours; Mom is […]
I guess it’s Fall now? So I learned the hard way you shouldn’t take 40mg of Valium on a school night, because you’ll sleep right thru your alarm clock. Yesterday I workt hard: three classes in a row, then scholarship work in the concert hall with Mr Alford & Derek Collins, which was strenuous. I […]
Yesterday, Anna & Michele (RAs from the girls’ side) conducted our monthly Health & Safety check with no hassle. Anna is dating Greg, the RA next door, and we’re pretty sure she has stayed the night with him at least once so far this semester. That or Greg randomly decided to switch to girly-smelling shampoo […]
Okay—somehow—between our show on Friday night and today, Jordan—without his car—has found his way to Chicago’s Near West Side and an encampment of hackers there. Anarchist hackers, no less. (Doesn’t this sound like the beginning of The Matrix?) He says it’s led by the founders of hackthissite.org, which doesn’t mean a thing to me, but […]
Usual guitar lesson en el viernes from Don Filip, followed by Theory & Sociology. It was Sean’s turn to play roadie, so I slept in the afternoon as he first went south to fetch Jordan, whose car is currently dead, then north to fetch Ceejay & his drums. When I awoke I watched the music […]
