self-titled: ^_^

hmm hmm hmm, at work on tuesday, i listened to a couple albums, the modest mouse EP was a disappointment, the new death cab for cutie ruled. unfortunately, i lost the AR to a computer crash, but for the most part, the sad northwest sound is gone, death cab has learned how to rock out. the lyrics throughout are absolutely great, there are some really powerful songs, including one about a bastard father which was just devastating. yeah ben gibbard. the sad stuff isn't completely gone, but mostly, the sadness has changed into bitterness. lots of themes about trying to forget. great stuff. Also listened to the new Dylan. Dylan is a man existing out of time. The album is a lot of straight up, ass-kicking blues rockers. But why? It feels so out of place. Time out of Mind succeeded because it wasn't recalling the Dylan from the 60's. The album isn't bad, there's some great tracks, and the last track is a slower one that is just heartbreaking. But Highway 61 and Blonde on Blonde and the like are timeless because they were made in the 60s. This album was made in 2001, it just doesn't sit right.

We rehearsed, I got yelled at by Mike because he was running the show getting really stressed about the song he was teaching and I was goofing around, after I delivered a speech about not goofing off. I was setting a horrible example, but I'm running that show every rehearsal and every concert, it's a lot to fucking do, and last night i got to go on autopilot. Oh well, I'm not overly concerned, I got it out of my system - maybe.

Then back home, listened to the radio show, played beirut with Tim, got my back wrecked as i sit against the cement hallway wall talking to Brenda.

Today I slacked, classed, napped, went to work, ran around like the bitch to ahana career services that I am, layed down a sweet rap, started concentrated on the tindersticks album, but then Brenda came. I tried to make a wint-o-green lifesaver spark, and it didn't work, and brenda tried to tell me that it's not lifesavers, it's the breathsavers with flavor crystals, and that's blatantly wrong, i need to get it to work so I can be redeemed. Anyway, with brenda there, I kicked work early and went to lower and ate with her and Fasano. Then came dawson's and felicity, strong showings for both, and then back to 830 for Movie Night. Three Kings was the movie, the attendance was 6 or so, and people dug it. It's such a good movie, it really gets better with every viewing.

and now what? i dunno. it's early and my 12 is cancelled tomorrow. being a resourceful lad, I'm sure I'll find something to do. At it probably rhymes with "muffy."

ok, i just hit the lifesaver with a fucking hammer. No sparks. Nabisco is getting a piece of my mind.
