Over the last year everything in my life has changed piece by piece, or more accurately, i've watched it come to an end and decided what to do from there. My relationship of 5 years ending, my shop - which is the culmination of the work i've done for the last ten years, putting my dog of 16 years down, simultaneously moving out of two spaces that ( Read more... )

good or bad and often both - the theme of my life continues to be overwhelmed. my shop has been a sore point in my life for several years now but never as exasperatingly stuck as it is now. the buyers pulled out after paying half of the agreed price, and we've had no work coming in for the last several months.

2 foot yard is playing friday the 14th at the swedish american music hall with a fucking orchestra. Apparently they've been working on this collaboration for a while and will play songs from both their albums rearranged for this show. Joey is flying in that day and i just got her ticket in the mail, her friend Panda is coming, my close friend ( Read more... )

Well, it's official - Melanie and i are breaking up. It was pretty obvious from our first conversation where things were going, and the fact that she wanted to try then was what i had hoped to hear - but how trying played out was more exhausting than effective. This all happens on the heels of a serious cold that made me take time off work i couldn ( Read more... )
