i just got home from seeing the band quasi play at the seattle art museum. so many thoughts and questions running through my head while listening...
how can two people who were once married play together in a band? how did they get past their past?
what was it like playing with elliott smith?
the talent it takes to play the drums, the keyboards so well....and they both play multiple instruments. i guess when you spend all day making and playing music, there's time to learn something new.
as i sat there, i tried to recall the last time i played a quasi album. i think my friend andrea was over for dinner, and she reprimanded me for putting it on half way through the album. "can we listen to something a little less depressing?" weird comment for me to hear, because i never thought of them as depressing. i always admired them for the creative relationship they were able to maintain despite severing their marriage. so yes, it's been a while.
that made me think of all the other albums by other bands i neglect for whatever cds are the focus of the moment. i definitely go in waves....ryan adams for a week straight, then death cab, then snow patrol, then on to something else. i think the answer to my problem is a multidisc changer. yes, i still play cds. and no, i do not own an ipod.
the other notable item for the evening was dinner conversation with my housemate. we talked about the men i'd been "involved" with, 3 of whom professed their love within a few weeks of meeting and seeing one another. i came to the conclusion that they weren't in love with me at all...they were in love with love. i didn't believe them when they said it, which makes me kind of sad. i've become more of a skeptic than i ever thought i would.

So you dated three guys and they all fell in love with each other? How'd you manage that?
