the other day, i was telling Dani that the next "girlfriend" i had wouldn't be a band. Unfortunately, I was wrong; for the next month i'm playing trombone and sometimes trumpet for the Royal Assassins, Durham's other ska band. It's so ironic because they practice right down the street from where we used to, and their original forms, the members ( Read more... )

It's been a weird couple of days. On wednesday we had a really good band practice, then went to taco bell, where we met up with Alison, and she, James and I went to see Pirates of the Carribean. Good movie. Not great, but fun. Johnny Depp is a really good pirate. Alison and I had a good talk and this made me glad ( Read more... )

i've got too much going through my head to really sort out for myself at the moment, let alone write down, i'd just like to take the time to thank the following poeple for making me feel like i'm cared about: sam gross, alison golensky and liz benefeil. i don't know where i'd be without y'all, but it'd probably suck more.

it's nearly ten o'clock, and i'm sitting here in the study of the family of Willa Brown in Washington. I am the only one awake. Again (i think it's been the sun that's waking me up, and I just can't get back to sleep). I have to leave soon, which makes me sad. Even though I'd seen everybody who came down here a month ago (which isn't a very ( Read more... )
