Things are continuing to return to normal, whatever normal is. The only thing, I haven't been eating or sleeping right. On top of the whole fire situation, this makes me really testy. I need a nice, hot, home-cooked meal and twelve hours of sleep.

I ordered another computer yesterday. I've made some considerable upgrades from what I had before. It's a minor thing, but it...

I was able to salvage a few things from the fire. I have some clothes, my guitars, some CDs, books, movies. That's about it. I have some soggy financial records and things of that nature that I have to go through. The new apt. is ready, but I'm not gonna stay there for too long. I need a change of scenery, and that's hard to...

Mt apt. burned down this wekend. Some things may be salvageable, but not much. I hate idiot neighbors. Especially ones who drink on anti-depressant medication and fall asleep with cigarettes in their hands. Nobody died or was seriously injured. My life is just upside-down.

I may not be around for a while. We'll see. I have to put my life back in order.

What is up?!! I haven't been comin' around as much lately. Partly due to being really busy, and partly because I've been in a pretty strange mood lately. Not necessarily antisocial, but still kinda blah. I really need time away from everything. I need to kill my writer's block. The music comes ok, but not much else. Spring's almost here, something to look forward to.

Showers fall
To wash away
The salt
And three odd
Months of pseudo-misery

The clouds are made
My mind is changed
Take the moment slow
And let it carry me

Work my way
Out of bed
It's been so long
Since I have slept
So peacefully

It's good to see you
Lying there
Moments never last
So I'll watch
Quietly

I will soon be a union employee again, and it feels great. I'm tired of being screwed-over by mangement.

This weekend, I'm gonna make the time to write like it's goin' out of style. There are so many loose ends that need to be tightened and resolved. I feel my best music is right around the corner.

I still need more sleep though. I have...

this is gonna be a good week.

I will get some sleep.

Lost in Translation wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.

Jaz still throws the best parties.

Charles and Martin have the most incredible recording space and gear. We'll be tracking there soon.

On a big PJ Harvey kick again. "Plants and Rags" is sweetly disturbing.

Smoked some Kamel Reds this weekend;...

"The creature in the sky
Got sucked in a hole
Now there's a hole in the sky
And the ground's not cold
And if the ground's not cold
Everything is gonna burn
We'll all take turns
I'll get mine, too"

I'm soooooooo tired. Getting up at 4:00 every morning gets to be a drag. That's about what time I go to sleep on my days off. Coffee's ok, sometimes it gets me too wound-up. Wish I was back in bed. Maybe I can sneak a 15 min. nap. It's better than nothing.

This is gonna be a long week. I already feel a bit testy. I'll have to reward myself somehow come Fri. I've been doing that a lot lately. Nobody else is gonna acknowledge the shit you put up with, so why not do something for yourself? Does anyone else treat themsleves frequently based on a lousy day/week/life?

Looks like I'm gonna get a pretty nice...
