i've been buying a lot of cds lately. in the couple past weeks i bought the new rufus wainwright, which is REALLY weird, but good. the fire theft cd... very very very good stuff by the sunny day real estate guys minus abe lincoln. placebo sleeping with ghosts... i think i might like their older stuff more, but this is good. the polyphonic spree, ( Read more... )

i had a great day. i just finished watching bowling for columbine. if that movie doesn't make you feel some sort of whooshing emotion, i'm not sure how well we'd get along. that guy is 51% tact, and 51% heart. loved it. i finished writing a song that's been bugging me lately. i also started and finished one, which is much more satisfying than the ( Read more... )

this has to have been two of the craziest weeks i've ever had. i'm putting sleep in little pockets of time so i don't fall asleep doing something i shouldn't fall asleep during. i've been to brooklyn a couple times, and i love it!!! it's so hard to make the drive in one day there and back when i have to work early the next day, but it's been so ( Read more... )

i'm going into brooklyn tonight to talk about the new churchills record with ron and bart. it's my first time driving into new york city on my own, so i'm excited. :) it's pretty unavoidable that i'm going to need a new car soon with all the driving i'm going to be doing. as nice as the volvo has been it's just not probable that it will take the ( Read more... )

so, i took my journal down, i was going to redo it and put it back up when i was satisfied, but i realized something. it really doesn't matter. :) so, here i am again. i just got back from the churchills LA tour and i had a great time. i met glen phillips, one of my most favorite people i don't know, as well as his kids and wife. i was floored, and ( Read more... )

i miss having free time. i like all my jobs. i miss my dad. churchills gig today... i'm excited. john and i are writing alot of stuff together these days. my eyes are getting worse. dating is difficult, but i'm learning a lot about people. about myself, too. i'm people. hmm. i have to go to bed.

life feels big this week. i can't really explain it, i'm just excited about everything i'm doing. sucks, because i don't have enough time to do everything as much as i want to. but... that's okay. i'll figure it out. i bought 3 cds yesterday... the new radiohead, an amazing flaming lips album (the soft bulletin) and shootenanny! by the eels. all ( Read more... )

i'm tired today. i am trying to work on the guitar book some... it's difficult. i outlined it and everything but i'm having layout issues. i want it to be a very different approach than a lot of other books, but it's hard to just go off of nothing and create my own layout idea... that's what's going to take the most time, i think. it's very very ( Read more... )
