My ex got a shitty review for a piece and it makes me feel wickedly good, and that makes me feel terrible since it was me that dumped her in the first place, and yet I always turn it around so that, inexplicably, I feel like the one that's been left, and here I am enjoying her misstep and I'm a terrible person and I...

The Magnetic Fields asked me to tour with them! But I can't do it! I'm booked! It would've been my dream tour. AAARGH.

Bummer, however that must be quite wonderful to have been asked.
heatherann:
Hell, yes, that would've been amazing. It's the thought that counts? Or something? smile

Going out to see Avatar with a bunch of people. It's good to have a cadre of friends, but I still wish I had a got-dang girlfriend.

Girlfriends are overrated. So I hear?

I quit coffee for a few months in 2009. I just didn't want to be dependent on something the way I am on caffeine--on tour, I recon multiple coffee venues virtually the moment I arrive in a new town.

The experiment ended when I flew to Berlin; I realized that no stoic corner of my heart would force me to do a European tour sans...

I quit coffee cold turkey upon getting fired from a coffee house in Pittsburgh in like '93 or something. I drink less than 6 cups of coffee a year but it's pretty much only when I'm in Europe. It's very, very effective that way.

I suppose you are not so welcome at Starbucks which may limit your options in certain locations (not Europe).

I like the songs I write in the morning, then hate them by evening, then re-like them when morning comes again.

You'll have to perform them at Senior Centers.

I feel that way about my photography, except it's hours instead of mornings and evenings.

Oh, and I heard one of your songs in a Guitar Center in the valley the other day.

I'm like one of those kids who has to wear a helmet to school, but spiritually.

Hee Hee. Hope you are collecting your blog posts for future album material. Or therapy. Or therapy AND future album material. And really, 5:46 am? damn that's early. Look forward to seeing your next gig. Although strangely, I enjoy going to your shows that aren't in MN. Go figure.
halfjack:
Where'd you get the helmet?

Aaaand New Year's Day draws to a close. I feel as if I should've, I don't know, burned a giant pyre of fir trees for a Pagan fertility goddess.

It's still not too late.

You could do that, but then you'd need to plant a bunch more to offset your carbon footprint. Pagan worship is so convoluted these days.

Touring, though fantastically fun, is a wasteland devoid of salad. Why does Burger King always seem like a good idea at the time? Ugh. And also: aargh.
tedbedlam:
Make a tour date in GA and in return I'll not only buy a ticket but I'll bring a salad of your choice. It's a good offer and you know it especially if you make the run to Athens or downtown ATL. Salad life is deluxe down here. Good luck touring and hope the road treats you well.

PS: Careful combining burger king with low flow hotel toilets.

Recently purchased one of those little 2 cup coffee machines for the once-in-a-while cup of coffee. Too much of the stuff and I end up like this guy:



Congrats on the review on ABC.

I just got a stovetop one. I swear...it takes 30 minutes just to make a friggin' latte with that thing. May relegate that to the back of the cupboard soon.
