Computer shitting out on me again. This time it's for real. I lost about 20 emails. I hope they weren't important! 
to the Applestore I go.
Good week: Les's was amazing. Hung out, chilled in the tranquil, alpine beauty of 6,000 feet above sea-level. Got downright chilly up there! Saw much wildlife. Bonded with the Tub. Had some amazing food......
My little brother's coming...

Dude. C'mon. You know I'm down.
arcade:
Fucking computers man. Best of luck.
Strangely, this iBook is working again. Maybe it just needed a rest, as it's been on constantly for nearly a year and a half.
Heading up to Les's for a few days for some inspiration and solitude with some instruments and Mbox in tow. Gonna make some music and finally record some songs that have been fermenting for awhile. Some for years and years....

So my guys dealing with a little drama at the moment. He's moving into a new home he and his wife just bought and after moving items in on day one, came back on day 2 to find 99% of their stuff stolen... Last time I spoke to him he was coping.
I'm going to wait for him to call me back later this week or perhaps next. Once he does I'll ask if he's taking on more work and if so pass on his contact info.
Have fun recording songs. Re: the time off, don't be too hard on yourself. I'm just in a writing mode myself and just don't feel like recording anything...

Coke and rum reminds me of a funny story. It starts with my dad cleaning my mom's cammercial walk in cooler at her kitchen. One of the bottom shelves is completely liquid, all alcholic liquid. He decided it was his goal to drink every last drop of it in one night.
While he was working on this goal he happened across some Mango Rum, and was pretty buzzed. So he decided that "rum is rum, and rum goes with cola." He mixed it with Diet Pepsi. He didn't drink it, until he put some grapefruit soda in it (yeah, the Pepsi and rum with grapefruit soda....yummy).
Alright, go record some music, be great. Congrats on the no drugs/no drinks.

my ibook is on the fritz.
I have to get it fixed (thank goodness for applecare!!!) but in the meanwhile I'll be offline.
I'll be checking in from time to time as I find places to get online -- but for the most part my e-umbilical has to be severed!
later ya'll

Your dad went to Pennfield HS long after I graduated from BC Central HS.
When I was working my way through grad school, I worked with bricklayers on one of the schools in Pennfield.
I had lots of cousins who went to Pennfield schools, and your dad may have known Bernice Steemsma, who worked in the HS office--at least I think it was in the HS.
Small world.

Wish me luck on the ISS!

Aw, too bad. Good for you all... I'm just trying to make a move somewhere. Portland seems interesting... but I have a lot to learn about moving and places, at least, before doing it.
Job? Hah, yeah, a job'd be nice.

I saw and met Kimya Dawson tonight and understood her perfectly. 100%. So much for my last entry.
Such a rare, gentle person with tremendous talent. And it turns out she's been playing some shows with a guy -- Paul Baribeau -- from Grand Haven (the old domicile) who played a show with me and my old band two Halloweens ago. Weird, huh? I love...

Yo M, the poem on Les's page is way beautiful. It's obvious that Bobby D. rubbed off on you the other night
In other new, I was briefly possessed by the dark lord and he made me buy another acoustic guitar. Pics in my journal. Yummy.
How's the building coming along? You've secured the space now, correct?
My contractor bumped into a guy downtown the other day who's 1) an acoustic designer 2) built several studios 3) is an HVAC specialist 4) is a contractor who's worked in Portland for some time and 5) is completely down to earth and cool to talk to. He's going to assist with the design and planning on my studio and also help me get all of my stuffs approved by Portland so that all construction's legit. Yippee!

I've been having trouble understanding English lately. All spoken or sung language, as a matter of fact. Written is just fine. Perhaps it's just on television where eveyone shouts to be understood, as if shouting makes one's speech more coherent. Seriously, I think I've been watching far too much television. It's making me spinal. Am I gonna see God, Mommy?
I need to stop watching...

Amen. I'm still looking for good chinese though...it seems elusive and everyone just kind of shrugs when asked where it is... Sad.
pygmy:
Yup, pretty much. Jason will do some engraving, I might be able to sell some art.. Besides that, we intend on being fully self-sufficient: No electricity, no runnng water, growing/raising/hunting/foraging for our food. The whole works.
I still haven't had a chance to do the test painting.. Last thing I wanted was to risk making my migraine worse.
Hope you have a good week!

Long week ahead with construction related stuff. Yay. I just can't wait to get to work making records - the waiting and anticipation are driving me mad.
Nothing more exciting than that. I've been studying up on acoustics and "green" construction techniques constantly. Oh, and I've also been shopping for kitchen appliances. HOORAY
But I'm still having fun.....
This weekend it's Bobby (and MAYBE Willie)...

Now that I'm officiallly leasing a building (!!!!!), I will be extaordinarily busy the next few months with an extreme rennovation and ultimately a business launch. This means woefully less time here.
Please note:
I do not hate you. I'm merely obsessing over a capitalist dream.
Lots of love,
