Go buy the new Architecture in Helsinki album. It's the kind of album I've wanted to make since I was old enough to want to make albums. It's the type of album that wipes a bad day off your face in five seconds flat. The kind of album that reminds you of the first time you heard a song you loved. It's that good to...

27 years ago today my sister was thrown out of hell for jay walking at obtuse angles. It's been rumored that out of boredom she made me from loose leaf paper and hot glue to fly next to the sun on warm weather days. Another failed experiment. The truth being that I was stolen from the caring breadbasket of my gypsy masters, whom had me...

Sorry about that. Wasn't really my fault though. Things went all weird in Portland.
The 1991 tour should have lasted forever. Whenever. Private soap opera stars mugging for the camera before they found the directors couch. A generation later is derivative, soulless shit.

I love recording. You're probably sick of hearing it. This is almost controllable. It's my world and it conforms to my stories and functions. I get my way.

Oh, totally. I got a whole bunch. I'd say, off the top of my head, "Wait" is my absolute favorite.
Unfortunately, I didn't get into them until maybe three or four years ago. I would've eaten that stuff up in high school.

I downloaded that record a while ago on Soulseek. It doesn't have Wait on it, though. 
Secret Stars brings me back to the days when, like, you'd make mixtapes for girls you thought were cute at school or work. Or to girls you met in some AOL chat room from Des Moines or something. I miss those days, sometimes.

Interesting night with too few Canadians. Victoria will be stuck with me most of the night. I need recovery. Coffee tomorrow.

Man, that was a great dinner last night! Sorry I kept poking you. I need to go back to elementary school and relearn the whole "keep your hands to yourself" thing.
rin:
you'd have fun!
It happened. It really happened. Life is about to get a lot stranger. I couldn't be happier. Figuratively of course. I can think of a few things that'd make me happier.

Okay, Mr. Vague. Out with it. And please explain your comment in my journal, as I am especially obtuse of late.

Do I know about this?
You know a group presentation went bad when..
After class you find out the professor was making fun of your presentation to another group of students.

Don't worry about it, dude. That thought didn't enter my mind. 
It took the entire day but I did it.

I'm keeping the place pretty bare bones. Just got a futon thing on CL. Maybe a stereo and some kitchen stuff and boxes of clothes and instruments. Not much

Midterms are over. I spent twenty minutes on the last one. Apathy: the big warm blanket protecting me from my peers.
Going to Gang of Four tonight. I'm gonna bob my head like a true Portlander.

I crushed a paper cup with my fist last night, took two tries.
The grime has built up in the corners. I'm swabbing the dust from tossed off hobbies and ambitions. These are the signs of a dirty mind. I love looking at myself. A hard long gaze at the vacillating principles that guide the decisions people make for me.

And yeah, I never watch American Idol, although now that you say it, I do know who Paula and Simon are.
