T minus two days. And I'm not sick!!! This could be good. 
The Abi YoYos have a show at the Gilman this Friday that I'm going to try to make it out for. If I could make it from San Francisco, to Vallejo to Stockton to see them play, then surely I have no excuse for missing them this time around.
Codeseven has just released their first ever music video for the new album online. All The Best Dreams. It's a really cute video and it's gotten me excited to listen to the new release. I've still been unwilling to move on from their previous release. I've bonded with each track off of The Rescue. There is comfort in the familiarity and I'm not open to exploring anything new. I put on that album and close my eyes - each and every track takes me back to somewhere safe and warm.
I'm weird. It's just a CD.
Tori Amos also has some exciting stuff next month when she releases a book and a new album! This is going to be such a great year. New Tori albums are like new friends to me and I can't wait to get to know this one. Sometimes they take awhile for me to bond with, but soon I'll know them well enough that I only need to close my eyes and I can hear them in my head. Right down to every subtle imperfection - a quick inhalation of breath, the squeak of the sustain pedal.... It can get to the point where actually listening to the album might be too much to handle.
I was talking to my brother about his guitar playing, asking him how he got so good at it and he did a few runs up and down the fretboard, showed me a couple picking and strumming techniques and was like, "Just do that. Every day. Over and over again. For hours." Heh. Oh.
He's been playing for around 4 years now and he's started composing. It's really exciting for me to see how much he's progressed and I'm so glad he's found something he's passionate about and good at. That's something I'm seeking out for myself.
The world is forgetting me and things are unravelling. Around me all is serene and prosperous but within me all is alight and smouldering. No rest or peace, no joy no laughter, just my own teeming mess of spirits and thoughts of you, wondering if you'll pardon me one day.
Wondering if maybe you are waiting for me to pardon you. Because my heart is big even if my successes are small. And if I don't love you enough, I can still love a little more.
My faith is growing, even as my misery howls and hurls burning logs at the memory i hold.
