Fun with transferring old news articles today of strange murders and whatnot.
My eyes hurt from trying to read this old print.
It amazes me how poor the grammar was in the 40's even in the prominent papers.
I need to go see a show!

I'm not too familiar with Jeff London yet, but he is your typical acoustic singer/songwriter Portlander...like Elliott Smith only with a more powerful voice. Colin Meloy from the Decemberists will be there as well. It sounds like a mostly acoustic evening, although I could be wrong. None of the people I've heard before strike me as the type to really rock out. It will be interesting seeing a show like that at Berbati's. The other people I don't know are Matt Keating, Corrina Repp and Doug Shephard. Any of those names ring a bell with you?
babyblue:
Exactly. Six bucks is not bad. I'll look for you there. I'll probably be the one in the front, as is my position at most shows, whether I know the bands or not. biggrin

Well shit, my ex wife's house was broken into today.
Luckily nobody was home but it is very creepy as they probably had to stake out the house to know when people wouldn't be there.
There are 5 people living in this house including my son.
Fucking bastards!
At least one of them was an idiot enough to drop his knife and the cops hopefully...

Well the new Shins keeps getting better and better after more listens.
I mean nothing could really follow up their last full length but it is good.
Working for my brother again today, like I needed to be stuck behind this pc any more than I already am but it is good to be busy.
I swear I am manic or something, the worse things...

Ah, the Shins. I've been listening to Oh Inverted World quite a bit lately. Can't wait to see them at the Blackbird on the 27th, and hopefully again at Bumbershoot.

Thanks for the suggestions on sleep-enticing music. It's weird, I read other people's journals today and it seems like a lot of people had trouble sleeping last night. Not sure what that means. whatever

Nothing's Going to Happen
maybe all the aunts in the world
will sip sweetly
at their cups of tea
and almost say one word
of anything but what thev'e learnt
from all the uncles
who raise horses laughs
and hopeful stiff pricks in the general direction
of anywhere but home

Nothing's Going to Happen(x2)


maybe all the children
in small rooms will fall silent

Great day playing at the park.
The wild berries and snap peas by the fence were perfect.
And since it had rained a couple days ago the sand was great for making sand castles.

Well getting down to crunchtime on finding a steady gig.
I have been posting flyers around town and only getting calls from friends for pc fixit and builds.
Now I find that craigslist in the computer parts section gets college kids looking for pc's.
I may have found a new area I haven't looked yet.
Heading off to Seattle at the crack of dawn.

you should stay over sunday night so you can see my pal joe perform -- aka backworld the guy who's recorded with folks from belle and sebastian.

Good day and finally had some computer work at a local record store rebuilding their pc.
I got enough money that I feel good about going to see a show tonight.
So I think I am heading over to catch some Yume Bitsu then off to see my friend Stan play.
I definitely didin't get much money only cause this record store doesn't make much...

babyblue:
Yes, your bro's mag rocks. Glad I've only missed one issue so far. smile

Which record store were you doing work for?
babyblue:
I thought the place on 26th and Clinton was called Green Noise. Maybe there are multiple music stores in close proximity. I don't go over there too much.

Thanks for the Yeti info. If I can't find #1, expect another friendly little note in your journal. smile

I got quite a bit done yesterday.
I am doing my much belated taxes today.
Besides that excuse me if I don't have anything to say.

Great weekend with my son.
I am psyched that my roomate is coming back tomorrow.
His cats have been driving me crazy, my cat is attention seeking enough.
I am posting pics of them today.
I have a ton of errands to run this week so I am going to try and get it out of the way now.

Good day besides spending the morning helping my brother.
It was cool to hear the tunes on the new Yeti.
My son and I are just relaxing after playing in the garden.
If only every day could be the weekend where I am with my son.
