a new kind of homesick.

I know I have been writing in blips and lists as of late, and for that I apologize. I'm a busy little bee, ok?

but, quickly, I will meditate on things of the past.

I think I miss the good old days. The days of the Triniti and our world domination and sporadic dance parties and El Patio. I am homesick for an era, if that is possible. I feel so far from that. so adult. I love my life and my apartment and my job and my group of friends. its just different than before. Ever since I stayed the night at Becca's and we drank champagne and looked at her pictures I have felt this inexplicable twinge of nostalgia. I even recall bemoaning (in my overly nostalgic state) "Those were better times".

tis true - Bob Dylan said it best: "The times are a' changin"
But, the times aren't better or worse.
they've just simply changed. and for a control freak like myself, I suppose I welcome change with wary arms.

we can dance if we want to.

3 day weekend, here I come...

and I couldnt be more thrilled.

THANK YOU FOR BEING BORN, GEORGE WASHINGTON.

if you're lucky, I might even blog about what a good time I am having. but probably not.

I haven't had time to report in a while but I saw Jeff Tweedy and he changed my life and I had a nominal but nice valentines that was interrupted by one bittersweet text message and i made funny valentines and i went to the prospector and i hung out with sherwood (i like them) and I swiffered my floor. not necessarily in that order.

I'm out like a trout.

shameless promotion

so if you all could take 16.7 seconds (I timed it) and go to Yahoo Who's Next and vote for CARTEL it would make my day. You've probably never heard them (I know my readers) but that's OK. its helping me and my label and Cartel to get free studio time.

my apologies to the seahawks

Ah, to be sitting.
I am half-curled on my red courdoroy couch, complete with braids and black velvet track pants. It feels nice to be sitting. I should unpack another box or two - possibly hang up my clothes or pick up any number of things scattered on my living room floor. Alas, I have no motivation; no gusto, if you will.

Next saturday will be my first day off of work in 3 weeks. I work at The Militia Group (hereafter referred to at TMG for reasons of pure laziness) during the week and I have worked for Haken at tradeshows for the last 2 weekends. I really shouldn't complain. After all, I am in dire need of money. And work equals money. So, I have that going for me. But, I must say that I am tired. Really, really tired.

So while you all are enjoying the game/commercials/beer/snacks/etc - I am going to sit right here and listen to Bob Dylan. I might turn up the heater and light a candle. And I might pay a visit to the Bluth family a little later, but only if I am feeling really crazy.

great success!

in a stroke of pure luck -- it seems I have finally stumbled upon a wireless connection at my new apartment.

and it is not password protected.

piracy, here I come.

I would like to thank the neighbors down the way who just moved in for enabling my blog today.

tell me about it.
