I just got back from Boston, where I saw RX Bandits for the 3rd time. They were really awesome, as usual (second only to The Mars Volta, in my live music experiences). They closed with the song they have that is the best possible closer of all time, which was smart. Also, their new CD that comes out in September was available for purchasing, and I ( Read more... )

I am watching a dog at my house this weekend. He is a black/white/bit of brown Cocker Spaniel named Rocko and he is 20 months old. Rocko is a nut. He cries when I leave the room, and also when his ball goes a tiny bit under a chair. For these reasons and more, I like to call him a baby and be verbally mean to him, but he still wags his tail all the ( Read more... )

I went to Amherst yesterday afternoon to today afternoon, and had an incredible time. I saw the South Street house (it's awesome!), met Danny's sister, experienced Danny's worries about a Bonnaroo ticket that was under some shoes, saw Pete walking downtown, went to Lupa Zoo with Danny, Catherine, and Jenny (sneezed on by giraffe, donkeys kicking ( Read more... )

I'm home now, and I just finished settling in completely, which makes me happy. On the way home, I drank 2 liters of water in 10 minutes. I don't think my dad thought I could do it. I didn't ask him, but I could just tell he was thinking "How long's it gonna take this pussy to drink those 2 liters of water?" 10 minutes, dad. 10 minutes ( Read more... )

I am updating a lot lately, it's weird. I got amazing news from my dad today (he came to have lunch and move some of my stuff out). Next summer, we're gonna take an all-out trip to Disney World, with me, my parents, my brother and sister-in-law, and my sister, brother-in-law and niece and nephew. This is going to be incredible. It seems that we ( Read more... )

Man, I don't know what to think. Danny, what sort of impressions did I make this evening? Hannah? Julie? Others? I don't know who else I spoke to on this. I feel like I make such an ass out of myself every time, but I always discuss this with people and they attempt to reassure me that I don't. So which is it? Yes or no? HONESTY????!!!! I think I ( Read more... )

You'll find 1. 2 tops. Doesn't matter. Have fun rotting by yourself, as Jeff Rosenstock would say. You'll think there's an escape for a while, but you're as deluded as everyone else. Ahhh. Christ. I don't even know. Pessimism may be the easy way out, but I don't know how to get anything else. I realized semi-recently that I've retained the ( Read more... )

Hi. This is Ashley and Garrett. We just broke up.

In the past week I've had several new experiences. For the first time, I went to a movie theatre alone, and for the first time I went to a show alone. Also, I drove farther then I ever have before; 2:30 each way to and from New Haven to visit my brother. For a while, I was thinking all 3 of these new experiences signified progress on my journey ( Read more... )

Nevermind my stuff about needing a ride to Amherst. My uncle that we don't get to see very often is going to be in New York tomorrow, and I'm going there with my family for the day, so I won't be able to attend the party at all. Caroline and Danny, thanks for the helpful offers. Danny and Julie, have nice birthdays and party.
