Man, Allergy Season is in full swing. I always forget just how bad it is. I always think about the incessantly runny nose, but I forget about the poison-ivy-eyeshadow feeling and the full-body-press-sick feeling and the drunken-mind-numb-without-the-happy-of-being-drunk Benadryl-induced haze.

For those of you who don't live in the Southeast US, you probably don't realize just how bad it is. I know I didn't, until I...

Yah. Can't even remember the title.. but if I looked, I'm sure I'd find it again smile Maybe it wasn't as 'erotic' as Anais Nin-- but the nun's life before convent was filled with erotic situations.. sad erotica, my favorite kiss

Thanks to everyone who wished me a happy birthday. I was amazed at how popular I was, and figured there must have been some kind of link where you could check whose birthday it was or something, and then I noticed that it was just Al ordering everyone to. Thanks, Al.

And I think I managed to thank you all. I'm sorry if most...

haha, my journal picture is a wadded up piece of paper or trimet ticket or something. Its supposed to convey my frustration .... I guess a picture of a raquet ball court would to the same tho! wink
Thanks for your thoughtful comments.

Hello SuicideLand!

I'm terribly sorry that I have been absent lately (or at least terribly sorry to those who, however remote the possibility, have been negatively affected by my absence). I have been extremely tendonitic as of late and have been saving my forearms for drumming and the brief spasms of work that DBK is doing on its album.

I would also like to extend...

Well, I did eventually finish Saw, in the middle of the afternoon, lights on, headphones off, farther from the screen, and whilst idly playing guitar so I had something to distract me. Some of you naysayers were right. After the first half hour or 45 minutes (and I'm pretty sure this isn't entirely due to my change in surroundings) it becomes a lot less...

Call me a wuss, but I just failed to watch Saw. Possible aggravating factors:

It's night.
I'm alone.
I have to make it pretty dark in here to see the screen well.
I was sitting about a foot and a half from the screen.
I was wearing headphones.

Certainly, there is nothing about it that is comforting, and it doesn't let up. Honestly, after...

Don't listen to these fuckers, good old sk00l gore-thriller. You know, for kids.

I watched Ringu in the dark at night by myself and it was a huge mistake. mad

Today I sat down and read High Fidelity by Nick Hornby. Yes, yes, the same book that was made into a movie starring John Cusack. I don't remember the movie particularly well, except for the part where he rearranges his record collection "autobiographically" and the part where Jack Black comes into the record store and stomps (figuratively) all over the mild-mannered guy and his taste...

Maybe it's dad's mom, being so angry that you're squandering your life being a musician that's she's trying to come back through to strangle you. Or bore you to death with a lecture about it.

What the fuck, dude? I can't believe I let that pity post stay up for like two whole days. The Guitarist has once again siezed power from the Empty Set.

Something Lighthearted and Amusing

So on Saturday night I went to a roller skating party. Someone who works with my friend Jessica was having a birthday, and they rented out this place called Wheels...

Wow, that sounds really fun. I went roller skating once senior year but there was no beer.

I have been going about things all wrong. I've been wasting my time the last decade of my life. All I ever wanted was to be liked, respected, fancied. That's why I learned to play the guitar. Everybody thinks guitar players are cool right? That's what I thought. I'll just get this thing going, be a musical genius, and I'll have people knocking down my...

So, the band in which I play the drums is recording an album. This is supremely frustrating for a number of reasons. Looming large among these reasons, as you may have guessed from looking at my profile picture, is the fact that I am not a drummer. Yes, I play the drums, but I am about as adept at driving a drum kit as our...

Why the crap would I think you were in a band with Sexy Steve? Man, I don't think I've thought about that guy since the last time I used the word "intercrural".

I remember making recordings. It was hard, and I kinda sucked at the bass.
st_expedite:
Get some Pussycats. Pussycats will make any band look, smell and sound better.

Oh wait, the girls are hot? Just Pussycat outfits, then. And tambourines.

And seeing as Interview With A Vampire was partially filmed in New Orleans, the sofa making you think of both the city and the film makes sense. On a related note, part of Angelheart was shot in my apartment building.

So, this guy is making a video game, and he asked me to write some music for it (or maybe I volunteered, I can't remember). Anyway, I've been rather pleased with this fight music that I have written. I didn't intend for it to be quite so cheesy, but I just couldn't stop it once it started coming out.

Hey, I didn't want to bring back that Ipod thread since you and I seemed to be the only ones interested. Just wanted to mention that The Hit Factory will be closing down soon, the stated reason being that home studios and studio recording software are taking over the industry, and there just isn't much demand for professional studios anymore...

My favorite grafitti exchange ever is on the wall of the men's toilet in the Cavern Tavern in Chapel Hill, NC, about 45 degrees to the right of facing directly at the commode (give or take some angle, depending on how far you're standing from the bowl, I suppose). I cannot go there right now to photograph it, and I don't think my crappy digital...

Dude, I would never hog all the pills and booze for myself. Especially if YOU were there!
girlrobot:
I keep wanting to respond to your comment but I'm always either too high or drunk to think straight and write something cognative. Usually I wouldn't give a shit, but hey, it's you, and I give a shit about you.

a) you, my friend, surpass my radness even on your least rad days. there needs to be more people like you in the world. less assholes, more awesomeness.

b) I've never gone out with a girl, or fell in love with one, but I can say almost for certain that I would have no problems with it. when I'm looking for a person as a potential s/o, gender doesn't really factor into the equation with me. so if I fall in love with a pre-op transsexual with breast implants, that would be good with me. I would have the best of both worlds in my opinion.

c) I like long comments. keep making them. they make me smile.
