yesterday alyssa, caitlin and i went to eugene to see tristan taormino speak about feminist porn. it was rad. she's great. i've seen several of her talks now and that was the best one. it was slightly weird for me because it was in a big lecture hall at u of o that i had a class or two ten (10!) years ago. i realized i hadn't really been on the ( Read more... )

today was a gettin shit done day. i was woken up by UPS at 11 AM, with a package for alyssa. it was nice because then i was up, and i didn't have to deal with snoozing my alarm. i made breakfast (two fried eggs and a toast) and after a few cups of coffee and the NY times crossword, i headed out for hells of errands ( Read more... )

i've been back on the diet wagon for the past few days. today i consumed 1,474 calories. i've already lost a few pounds in the past few days. i'm at 169 now--under 170, finally!!

more uploading stuff to band camp. i'm all done except for sacramento gold. it's all free. go get yourself some weird old albums and rad newer ones.

what's a plea

pugs practice on friday. it was a good one, and i think most of the rust has been shaken off. we are playing next saturday at mississippi pizza, and i think we'll totally be ready.

not too much else going on right now. i'm uploading all my albums to band camp. i've been playing lots of super mario galaxy 2. smooth, yeah?

what's a world that

man, five days since i posted. that is terrible. anyway, most of those days were spent watching BSG. i finished it last night. that was a good finale! i read about how lots of fans hated it at the time, but everything people hated about it, i thought was cool. kind of like the lost finale. now THAT was a finale that pissed off nearly everyone. (i ( Read more... )

my ambient album is DONE. it is called quarks. quarks are a type of subatomic particle. each song is named after a different quark. there are six different kinds of quarks, but only five songs on the album; i leave you wanting more quarks. i like the idea of having this big expansive soundscape album being named after the subatomic level of reality ( Read more... )

went to alyssa's grandpa's house for her cousin carter's birfday dinner. he's 15 now, and a cool dude who plays in a good high school band called the aviators. we ate enchiladas. i drank expired diet cola. there was drama with alyssa's brother kyle (born november 20, 1988), but when isn't there drama with kyle? he's gotten a lot more agreeable in ( Read more... )

okay, it is official; i am addicted to battlestar galactica. i'm midway into season 3 now, and i can safely deem it a really good show. the first season was a bit rough going for me, as it was a bit slow and there were a couple subplots i didn't care for, like the caprica stuff (though caprica got much better in season 2) and ANY scene with gaius ( Read more... )

yesterday and today: nate and i recorded five redcoat turncoat demos over here. new songs, fer the next album. nate is easy to record with; he pretty much knows exactly how the songs go and does vocals in one or two takes. i mean, they're not the tightest demos ever, but they're just demos. no pressure (over cappucino). cool songs too. gus came ( Read more... )

today mayhaw and maren and i went to life uniform. the objective was twofold: maren just started working at a vet as a receptionist so she actually needed scrubs, and her and mayhaw's birfday present to me from last summer was a trip to life uniform for some new scrubs. it was amazing. i've never seen so many scrubs in my life. so many options. it ( Read more... )
