He shook her by her smooth, red shoulders violently and demanded she hear him. She could not. "The sound," he cried, "the sound is not the only thing. I am here, there are others here!" And though she stared at this brow and saw his angry breath move her hair, she could not hear him. She was deaf to anything with absence of melody and...

So I'm sitting with my big headphones on in the dark at 5am, sobbing.
Apparently, "Get Lonely" is not the easiest album for me to listen to right now. Damn you, Darnielle. You know it means business when I have to shut a brand new Mountain Goats album off half way through, no matter how good it is.

I'm so tempted to write a song called "The Adolf Hitler Happy Times Cake Walk" but I'm afraid I'd be drawn and quartered if I ever performed it in public.

Awww, how cute.

That first pic looks like your booby-trap went off.
Tullycraft on The Fabulist! Also, a live Mountain Goats video. I bring you good things today.
So, I got to meet and/or begin correspondance with Sean Nelson, Michael Leviton, Matt Walsh, and Jordan Crane. I also starting hanging out with my bartender? Between rushing the stage at Belle and Sebastian, finding out Sean and I went to the same middle and high school, and getting...

i always see if people read the messages i sent..

People don't reply because they're lazy.
That being said, one of these days I just may actually go on that site.
Frankly, my dear, I couldn't give a rat's ass.

What a fucking weird weekend.
I was a quiet, lunchbox lonely little boy. Reading sci-fi, broken treehouse on the shore. At nineteen, the talking in my head got harder to understand. No work, no school, drifting, a failing satellite. Dont feel sorry for me, Ive been happy too. Manic, kindly, blinding, high-res euphoria.

thank you miss 
I like the sound of your weekend. It feels familiar. Although I sometimes find the high-res euphoria a little hard to take in large doses. I tend to need a nap afterwards.

The Belle and Sebastian show last night was completely mind blowing. It left me shaking, sweaty, and grinning.
Write up of the show and 5 songs on The Fabulist.
I still have show after glow and will for a long time. I can't get over how amazing rushing the stage at the Hollywood Bowl was. I was closer than I could have been at...

Sonny Melendrez sends his regards. He just adores Belle and Sebastian
Speaking of Belle and Sebastian, has it ever occured to you how much they can sound like the Kinks?

(In reference to the Weakerthans) Obviously you need to live in a cultural mecca like Northeast Ohio, rather than that backwater Los Angeles.
Glad to hear the Belle and Sebastian show was good.

jason schwartzman might be the only celebrity i've been likened to, semi-regularly, that i haven't taken as an insult.

I ended up getting home from work on Monday at 8pm, completely exhausted. I proceeded to make some pasta, watch Butch Cassiday, and pass the hell out.
Yesterday I went down to Costa Mesa to visit Nick and Allegra. We went to a some party in Newport Beach where douchebags abounded (not so much at the party as the whole of Laguna/Newport/Costa Mesa). Got home...

and see, that burn was jesus punishing you for not coming to my house. I had to hear science talk all day. I fell asleep at least 3 times, and noone would walk around in search of fireworks with me.
alyssum:
Oh wow, that's a lovely burn there. I usually burn my ears, because I'm just that clever.
Hopefully Wook will have lovely pictures of mangled and dismembered rubber Olsens, it was a marvelous thing to behold. We so lucked out in finding those.

In my now defunct blog, I posted some of my favorite polaroids and links to all of my Fabulist writings. Feel free to peruse as you will.

You're going to catch the fever. -not the good kind either. I'm talking the "cat-scratch" variety. Keep em clean, keep em indoors. (the cats, I say)

I had important things to say.
Don't have $100 bar tabs.
Always listen to The Mountain Goats.
Don't try and shave your junk while drunk. Just...don't. Apparently.
Always give your good friends as many hugs as you can.
Don't get crushes on far away people.
Always listen to The Mountain Goats.
We were the two things in the galaxy God didn't have his eyes on....
