Life is good. Had to make an appointment to see my doctor so I'm a bit scared (I had a polyp removed from my esophagus recently -- it's all kinda related to when I got stabbed 10 years ago) but whatever the news is I can handle it... Been praying a lot for first time in well, too long. I feel grounded and shit.

REally. This wekeend he's going to Arizona to hang with Neko and interview her for YETI, my own 'zine which while not against ukuleles, has a slightly different...

mmmm, postal service! and i will be at the show too....got my tickets before they even went on sale. its my last night in seattle before i moved to ohio....i stayed just so i could go.
Music is the sweetest thing in the world. I absolutely adore notes. I'll run a thousand paces just to hear one. Often when I'm walking through the hot trees in summer and hear the sound of a piano from an unknown house, I stop in my tracks, ready to die on the spot. I'd like to die listening to a piece of music. I imagine...

Gosh... I so few quotes are that incredible. But it really comes across when you are listening to the height of Mozart's Requiem.... such a perfect read...
I step up onto the treadmill I bought when the stock was still worth something, um and when I still had stock, I place the boombox my ex-wife let me keep in front of it, and crank Bright's album Full Negative (Or Breaks) (November 2000, Ba Da Bing) as loud as it will go without distorting too much (pretty loud). The music washes over me...

We are music geeks man.....I am most impressed with your daily journals...its a fookin' novel I tell you!
I haven't read BABEL yet..I have it tho...as well as THIS AINT NO DISCO, GO NOW, the Gary Valentine book....I did read Hell;s Hanuman books, the tiny little books. I even wrote him, pre email telling him how much I liked the books. He write me back and told me that if I sent him the books, he'd autograph them and he'd send them back to me ONLY if I included return postage. I did. I got them back autographed. Damn excited I was....nice guy.
I saw him do a reading for GO NOW and told him this and he looked at me like I told him that Tom Verlaine was better songwriter than him. I left quickly.

loud? not really............
Hey ho -- tonight I saw a solo show by the Mum cellist; it was damn good. I also had a fun, fast, spur of the moment dinner with the record store girl. I'm so busy lately that things can only go at a pretty slow pace with any girl, which is fine by me 'cause my tendency when I'm crushed on someone is to...

haven't had time to check out Manitoba, but I've read several reviews already.
That pic was from an old Request magazine featuring N*E*R*D*'s favorite songs. I love those guys. I admit I listened to Britney because of their production -- just one song however.
What's up, mack-daddy? Daddy-mack? Jump, jump!!

Tonight I am fully blown away by how amazing the POLYPHONIC SPREE were live. I've never seen it so crazy or seen so many people jump around and sing along and go entirely nutty apeshit dance around have fun and fall out in my 5 years here in Seattle. My throat hurts from screaming.
The Spree are a 20 piece band who look like insane...

Good to see at least one other human being who loves the spree. live spree is a blast of sunlight.
'Sup? I was kinda grumopy and depressed then I realized I've not had any coffee yet today so I got some and now I def. feel better -- which is a tad scary, as an ex-junkie, to realize how "hooked" I am -- fuck, it's just coffee, right?

Fuck...more questions...my life is full of too many Goddamned questions:
1) Last night...a sex dream.
2) Um...smoke lots of pot, steal records from big chain retail stores and masturbate constantly.
3) Easy...White Stripes "Elephant" (I know this may not be esoteric enough for you but that don't mean it ain't fucking great)
4) "I want you to fuck me in the ass!" (Actually, I suppose that really isn't weird but it's as close as I get, given my sheltered life.)
5) Sex and money.
P.S. - I am fine, thanks for asking.

I met this guy last night who's in a very intense situation or says he is anyway -- I chose to believe him so I helped him out.

Yay, finals are almost through. I just wrote a small article on Tigerbeat6 for Splendid to kind of prime the pump -- you know how it is?
I agree with your last paragraph.
