Yesterday I went to my bass lesson. Now, let me tell you about a kid I know who takes lessons at my Dad's studio. I don't know what his name is, but for convenience let's call him "the Metallica kid". I give him that name because he is always putting down the Beatles in favor of Metallica. The reason he is always putting down the Beatles is because ( Read more... )

So...yesterday, last day of animation class, I showed Ed (the teacher; he lets us call him by his first name) stuff I'd drawn out for an animated project I want to do. See, I've got it into my head to make an animated film of Neutral Milk Hotel's album In the Aeroplane Over the Sea. I told my mum and my grandma about the idea, and they said I ( Read more... )

*sigh* Last weekend was the best weekend ever. I am not exaggerating. Well, maybe it wasn't the best weekend anyone ever had (although it may be in the top 1,000, and that's a lot considering that a lot of people have had a lot of weekends), but it was certainly the best weekend I've ever had, and I mean it ( Read more... )

That's right. Tomorrow isn't my birthday. It's Stevie Nicks' birthday! Yeah!!!

Okay, I'll admit. I was just sort of trying to trick everybody into thinking I was going to say my birthday when in actuality that's two days from now. Plus I ( Read more... )

I have the interesting hobby of listening to my music backwards. Not just the music I listen to, mind you, but the music I write and record. It's got something to do with the fact that, if it's fun finding secret messages backwards in other people's music, why not try to find it in your own? Because I know I was never trying to do secret messages, ( Read more... )

This morning in the shower I fully realized the fact that I am an indie person. I don't know how I quite figured that out, because I've really known it for a long time. But it really hit me this morning. I think it was because I was thinking about me being a "punk", and how I'm a punk in spirit but I'm not as into the music as I could be. But I ( Read more... )
