Does anyone have a Chipotle near them? Ours has been open for a couple years and, much to my chagrin, I can't seem to reduce my burrito intake. I mean, the thing must weigh 3 pounds, impossible to eat in one sitting, but yet I torture myself by attempting to eat the darn thing.



The good part is that I can get it veggie, so...

who's the ubergeek now?

bring tha noize

hehe. he touched my back and shook my hand after the meeting. he *offerd* me his hand first!! i saw him at a gaming convention and i ran up and asked for a pic. he was totally nice about it and really friendly. he was there promoting the music to Doom 3 so he was proly in a good mood.

i am currently writing a little thing on MManson, defending to the indie-mag i write for why AntiChrist Superstar is such a great disc. trent and sean beaven's influence knows no bounds. have you heard the band Prick on Nothing records? check it out. trent was in *his* band. i'll give you the history on it if you don;t already know it. realy cool.

coolness factor...

Latest news from the greater DC area:

The first baby born in DC in 2003 was born to a Lesbian couple! When asked by a reporter to see the mother, Joanna Bare replied "Sure. Which mother would you like?" (Joanna is one of the mothers).

What else? Let's see...right now I'm listening to an all time fave: Fugazi "Repeater". Later tonight I'm popping in "Easy...

um. yeah. we're only seperated by coasts. i'm on the academic route with a rock background. i focus on electronics (such a cute word) in a live setting. and i don't mean house music hehe. my nic is DJ Webern, but i rarely use it around here cos most don't get it or know how to pronounce etc. Webern's Opus 5 is the piece that changed my life. George Crumb's Black Angels sealed the deal (oo, i just met him at Chico State at a premiere of a couple of his works). i'm really into Christian Marclay lately, his methodology. today in my class we discussed the ondes martenot and theremin's influence in Western Art Music.

but i learned orchestration from depeche mode and credit Bauhaus for sparking the interest in music.

ok, now we've laid the groundwork, we can fight. jk.

glad to know you. keep it coming.

damn. i'm just so happy to see the word "electroacoustic"...i might wet myself.

seriously. so i imagine you walk that line. you know, the one were you feel both *at* and *out of* place at academic conventions and rock venues. somewhere in between. BYU is stuck in a pre-modern thing while the University of Utah is stuck in a post-modern dealy. it causes me grief.

i hate the word rock. let's patent a new one.

Well, for my (whopping) second journal entry, I'll collect a few random thoughts.

First of all, my home state is about to become Republican. I can't tell you how depressing this is. The outgoing Gov. was a former prof and strongly supported higher education...this wanker coming in is proposing slot machines as the solution to the budget crunch. I've also just learned that he wants...

Home made is absolutely the way to go. Processed food is fo' suckas! Where's mom sending Maple Syrup from? The genuine article I take it... Mangos, mm that sounds good. Being a Northwesty girl, I'm partial to Marionberry syrup too.

Ever seen "Saturn 3"? I think I've lost all respect for Harvey Keitel and Kirk Douglas after watching that (don't think I had any for Farrah Fawcett to begin with)... puke

Sounds like this new Republican guy is trying to make MD like the BFE areas of the Northwest. Not so much the convict bit, but the rest... whatever

My first day sans relatives. Never 'blogged' before, so I thought I'd do this instead of doing work. Speaking of, I'm not so happy about having to teach on Monday. I mean, it's kewl to teach the History of Rock, but not so much fun when you don't get much of a break to download thoughts inbetween sems.

Um, no one will read this, but...
