I got to record a real live band doing real live music together in a room today. It was so right. For fuck's sake... We recorded four songs down and dirty. No bullshit, no politics, almost no computers and no working on one song for a month. Just a young band finding their way in the world.
They are The PEELS. They're from Seattle and...

Im nave enough to believe in creating my own Avalon, or at least a piece of it, by how I see things and how I influence my immediate environment....well, enough to do there for a lifetime, so I shouldnt get bored.

i do live in the northwest.. but i spent a summer in chicago once, sweltering in the humidity. sometimes it was terrible, but sometimes it felt nice.
i'm sorry that you are lonely.. anything i can do?

So last night some asshole rear ended my new car and then fled the scene of the accident. I never got to see his plates.
And then as soon as I got done with the police the girl I've been trying to get to move here to be with me called to tell me she can't find her love for me anymore and she would...

If she says she doesn't love you enough to move there unless you agree to marry her...then she doesn't love you enough to marry you. Not trying to be a downer, but it just sounds like she's more in love with the idea of marriage than love. And that is sad. But she's loosing you, don't get it wrong. She's the one giving up.
Here's hoping Karma nails the bastard hit & run guy.

Why would she want to marry you if she claims she doesnt love you? That doesnt sound very fair and unfortunately doesnt sound like a happy ending at all either.
Heres a hug and heres some strength.......

I am bored with this job
It's a great job for me to have...it's been good for my resume, experience, discography and bank account. I need to stay for another 6 months at least, but I am not inspired at all right now. I have too little time to nurture my own creativity. I am not doing records on my own even if I'm working...

I really really do agree- inspiration is the most important thing in life.

Man that blows. Can you apply for another position within the same place that would put you closer to what you want to be doing? That way you wouldn't have to worry about the length of employement.
Just got back from a street festival in Silverlake (LA) where Isaac Hayes was the last act for the evening. How COOL. I love seeing shows like that in surprising places. He was deep and smooth.
Home now kickin back with the iTunes radio (all my music on random). Luscious Jackson playing now...
I am a world class procrastinator. I can put anything off. Gotta...

You possibly cant be the worst procrastinator in the world- at least Im avoiding doing things for so long that its just getting worse and worse. And then I end up taking days off in order to catch up. Hopeless...

i definitely trust you with the mango and the perrier. mmmmmm..
I can't believe I've been in LA for a year now. It's gone by so fast. I definately miss Austin and New Orleans and working freelance and having so much freedom, but I don't miss being broke and unable to pay my bills. I wonder how much longer I'll stay at my job here before I go back into the freelance world.

that is the rub, ain't it? choosing your freedom or your security.. except that with enough money, you can have both.
i hate how money makes the world go 'round.
and that was my problem with the protest. it may have been fun, but it didn't do any good at all! i can understand if it has an objective and a way to achieve it, but this was totally unfocused. these kids (both young and old, physically,) might as well have gone to a fair or a carnival or a concert.

Is it too much to ask that my girlfriend and I live in the same city once in our two year long distance relationship that's been full of false starts and difficulty before I ask her to marry me. For fuck's sake!
I don't think it's too much to ask.

it's definitely not too much to ask. long-distance thingies suck a lot.
and nighty-night to you too. sweet dreams. without bedbugs. i just about wrote "beddubs" and that would be almost as cool.
oh - and you should live with her before y'alls get married, i think. it's the most important thing - to know if you can actually reside together.

There was this moment during the Bjork concert tonight when she was playing "Hyperballad" and I looked over my shoulder and the full moon was just cresting the hill. What a great show!!!

THANK YOU!!!! It really means a lot to me.
pihka:
That was such good news to hear! So there still is hope...thank you for stopping by and enlightening me on the subject.
happy day:
my new toy has arrived! it's a vintage microphone that I paid (actually am still paying off) stupid money for. It's funny what things will excite you.
I've got tickets to see Bjork Monday night. YAY

wow - have fun at bjork!
microphones are awesome. i need to play with one sometime, so i can figure out how to sing with it. that'd be supercool.
that tends to be the way i write journal entries - sitting down and watching. seeing what catches the eye.

yay...a weekend off with no agenda (except all the things I need to catch up on). no out of town guest...no travelling. i loved my last two weekends for the above activities but i love this weekend for having none of those things...
