I love that rival schools record.
Saw them live once then almost again, but the venue got flooded while we were waiting for them to come on.
Sadly that was the last I heard of them.
Hope they haven't split.

ICO is a pretty short game so it won't eat up too much time.
About 9hrs I think.

nyc? I'm envious. That is my favourite city in the world.

Early May seems to be gaining more and more significance in my life of late. I have one image of my father, sitting at the dining room table looking up as I walk in the room. That's the only one which sticks in my head. Even that is fading now. Sometimes he turns up in my dreams, but often he's just a feeling or a gesture I see in my sister or me. I can't fully remember his face. I remember things he used to say and his smile. Odd.

I'm off for a brief walk with my sister. It's nice that she lives a couple blocks away

thank you! i'm feeling MUCH better today! and how are YOU?

Every jim jarmusch film eh.
My friend was working for Joe Strummer and they were at some party or other, anyway he got Jarmusch, Buscemi, and Strummer to sign his Mystery Train dvd.
Dead Man is the best in my opinion and one of my favourite film's of all time.

Have you played trocc's ICO yet?
You should.
It's the most beutiful gaming experience ever.

Yeah I love that album. I'm ashamed to say I pawned most of my music for bad things. I'm currently rebuying stuff.

I want to find a good Chinese takeout place.

The neverending quest. I've got a great thai place now. Chinese still eludes me.

Isn't 730A_trixel_fem cool as hell? She's been my new IM buddy for the last week, very rad woman.

Luckily, I look nothing like my dad. I have his sense of humor though. And I can grow a beard in like two days, I think he was one of those too.

picked up merlin today...he is fantastic! a 5 year old bullmastiff with a heart the size of texas and not a mean bone in his body...the biggest couch potato ever!

hope you're doing great!

we adpoted him from a foster family that took him in after his family found out they were moving and couldn't keep him. he's 5 years old and totally trained so he's a delight to have around...so mellow and easy. i love puppies but they're too much work for me. you're plan to check with the pound etc...is great!!! if you can rescue a dog, that'd be awesome and i have to say....bull mastiffs are great dogs!

the strep is kicking my a** but i'm on meds so hopefully it'll go away soon *fingers crossed*

circle jerks were good...but i think i enjoyed 'throw rag' just as much, if not more...they are hella funny!

i hope your weekend has been fantastic!

edited to add: yea...you like Jim Jarmusch!!!

Yeah, any suggestions about places to live in the city would be helpful. We have a 5 year old kid so, can't live in the bad, bad areas. I told M_A_Y I'd be willing to come back, as long as we live walking distance from an el-train. How's your part of town?

C-Clamp, I've loved them from way back. I lived in Champaign for a couple months in "97, and I think Nick was working at Parasol Records back then. I've met him once or twice (my friend and roommate at the time knew him). I saw C-Clamp at the Blind Pig once, awesome show (before Longer Waves came out). It always bummed me out that they could never stay together regularly.

Yeah, I went to high school at Wheeling with all the guys from Cap'n Jazz. My bands played a lot of shows with them and stuff, that whole scene was my version of music class. Gauge (and anything Kevin Frank did) was the shit that lit me up. How familiar with the rest of that whole scene are you?

Lou

my pleasure, i like to check on my firends from time to time lest they think i've deserted them! i'm happy to hear that you are recharged and renewed..that always feels good!

ok, you said you'd do the next survey..it's up now

i hope things are going fantastic for you!

kickstart

edited to add: uglyart did that profile pic of me, kick-ass, isn't it?!?!?

No, thank YOU for joining!

I'll have to ask M_A_Y what that last post means, looks like a typo to me. What does your company do?

Lou

yo, dude, check it out - that show you dig

The member you saw me talking to is the girl my girlfriend is living with in IL. Sometimes Tammi (my gf) will write me messages and sometimes her roommate will (in her name). Either way, if you look at the profile or pic of the member that was "missing and loving" me, that's not actually my gf. Does that make sense?

Yeah, the distance has been tough. I've only been here 12 days. Well see...

My girlfriend, M_A_Y, just joined the site. Please say hello if you have a second.

You knew Riley Broach? Where'd you work with him? Awesome. I'm Lou, I used to live in the Northwest Suburbs (went to Wheeling HS) but am in Cali now. Nice to meet you.

thanks! i really didn't think things it through when i posted that...i'm such a silly girl!?!?!

congatulations my son. you are now a man.

thank you! great profile pic

Tell me, how did you stumble across my journal? By what route?

thanks for compliment.
