self-titled: ^_^

On wednesday, after less than two hours of sleep (why my body refuses to let me sleep when i have to be up early the next day) i got up, packed and headed to south station where i boarded a train to go back to jersey. The train was fun, i've never ridden one in the states that wasn't a glorified subway of some sort. And i got home, and hung out and watched tv. and the next day went along much in the same way.

Then, i woke up this morning and drove back to boston. The room was miraculously still clean when i got here, which makes me think that maybe the reason it gets messy is because of me, and not because of natural and uncontrollable forces. So that was kind of a downer. When i got here i got right to work on the latest power hour.

Then i put up an away message saying i was going to cambridge for cds and a show. Steve IMs me and asks if i was going to pinback. Indeed i was. Turns out, he had 2 tickets from WZBC, so i hung around, he came over and we went down into cambridge. I bought cds: Owen - Owen (Mike Kinsella of American Football), Go Back Snowball - Calling Zero (Mac McCaughan of Superchunk and Bob Pollard), Mark Eitzel - West, Weezer - Pinkerton, The Faint - Blank-Wave Arcade, Elvis Costello - This Year's Model (the sexty 2 cd reissue), Clinic - Walking With Thee, and Death Cab For Cutie - The Stability EP.

I also bought a zebra gun.

Then we went to central square, i had mcdonalds, and we kicked it to the middle east. Got there in the middle of the first act, Douglas Fir, which was the epitomy of stupid medicrity. Then came Her Space Holiday, which was a laptop duo and it was mainly a performance set, prerecorded shit with some live stuff all atop a huge light show. And then finally came pinback. Good stuff, the bassist is insane. The guitarist sounded like john linnell. They sped up a lot of the stuff off their self-titled. But it was great.

And then, achey as hell i came home. It's been a while since i've actually stood for the entirety of a show. Makes me wonder how i'm going to hold up next saturday, more importantly, since she's never lasted a full show, makes me wonder if brenda will be able to hold up.

Once home, i was sad to see that elimidate was not on. I guess it's 1:30 and not two. I unwrapped my CDs, and now i shall return to the power hour. Featuring 15 never before heard tracks!

Interesting.
