Saw the High Water Marks, Apollo Sunshine, and the Apples in Stereo on Thursday- good show! Apollo Sunshine was quite mad- they all looked like Charles Manson and they jumped around and the lead singer played his keyboard with his head. I think Apollo Sunshine tends to be self-indulgent: I could do without the three-minute guitar riffs that ( Read more... )

My Comp Lit teacher says that Logic is very anti-literary because words only mean what you tell them to. This is true, but the fact remains that all the logic essays I've read display a clear love of and ability to play with language; much more so than the biology essays I've read ( Read more... )

When I was in fifth grade my best friend told me about a school where all you did all day was make art and music floated through the halls. I pictured rooms full of breezy, gauzy curtains, where the students and teachers would sit on jewel-toned pillows on the floor. What she was describing was actually the Buffalo Academy for the Visual and ( Read more... )

Just got back from seeing Laura Cantrell at the Iron Horse, a very nice venue: like seeing a band at the Pearl Street in Buffalo. She opened with Churches off the Interstate, one of my favorites; she did a song she wrote and recorded with John Flansburgh; and she covered Hong Kong Blues, by Hoagy Carmichael, which totally rocked my socks. Plus she ( Read more... )

Starting tomorrow, Contradiction, my 24-Hour Comic, will be updating thrice weekly at ginkgotree.keenspace.com (the link in my sidebar). (My new icon is taken from it). It's not a webcomic; it's not designed to be, but I wanted to put it up anyway. It's kind of like Moon Over Queen Street combined with Alice in Wonderland and cast with Neon Moon- ( Read more... )

Wow. It is my pleasure to say that I was present at what has been called "the biggest march in the history of the universe": a leap of faith I'm not quite prepared to make, although I would maybe accept the planet. I am exhausted but it was so worth it ( Read more... )

I am exhausted. My neck hurts. My hand hurts. My shoulder hurts. I am on the verge of hysteria ( Read more... )

Tomorrow at noon Modern Myths is hosting a 24-hour comics session. I'm longing to participate, but I'm leaving for D.C. at 11 pm. I originally thought I'd just do a ten-hour comic (which is still a whole hell of a lot) but the more I think about it the more I want to go the whole way: start tonight at ten and just draw. Complications: I have a two ( Read more... )

Nina went crazy tonight- she yelled at Leah during their Senate meeting and then, back in our room, she said that if we don't stop talking to her she would have to beat us up. So I moved out. I'm staying in Leah's room for the night, and tomorrow maybe I'll look into moving into Elisabeth's open double on the fourth floor. One thing's certain, I'm ( Read more... )
