Took off work yesterday because I felt near-tears and the idea of crying on the job is pretty unappealing. Never cried though, think I just needed to not be at work. I needed to be thinking, playing guitar and drinking beer, which I did.
Learned two neutral milk hotel songs, which isn't necessarily a great feat, since all of his songs use only 2 or 3 chords, but I'm still new enough at the guitar that every song I learn still makes me smile.
And speaking of kick ass musical wonderment, go check outIron and Wine. That song is a cover of The Postal Service's (whom I also love) "Such Great Heights," and it's fucking sublime. Songs like this are why I play guitar. mikael needs to check this out especially.
Grandfather update - he's off life support now and won't be put back on. Now we just wait, I guess.
And in the works, a PDX BBQ!

when i was little someone told me that drinking straight pickle juice will turn your teeth black, so besides the vodka/pickle shot, i've been too afraid of it to ever drink it.
