christmas is around the corner. i get to get things. hooray for receiving gifts. christmas is the nicest except for the brain-numbing downtime.
i ate a lot of salmon and carrot cake last night. i wish someone would hire me.
mystery science theater

stella (or, there is a god)
a new episode of stella. seriously.

i would love to install wordpress, but i cannot due to the fact that my server doesn’t meet the requirements. although i will call them tomorrow to sort out whatever the problem seems to be.

uninteresting post #28
today i strangely woke up at 8am, raring to go. it was nice to be up and awake and not have it be forced or have my energy run out on me. i had a turkey sandwich on wheat with avocado for lunch. also, i made guacomole. so much avo.
finished an emperor tamarin song today, so finally i believe this ep will actually be realized. the dessktop album is almost done, too. when it’s done, i’m...
new schedule experiment
my sleep-at-night, wake-at-day experiment was rocky today. i got a full night’s sleep last night (9 hours), and woke up at 7am feeling really refreshed and energized. i ate an apple, had a glass of orange juice, a shower, then did various things. around 1pm, after eating some taco soup for lunch, my energy was completely gone; i was dropping off at an insane rate. (i hadn’t even been...
four walls and a ceiling; two doors, one window
i have been up for twenty-four hours.
i’m going to eat dinner and go to bed. i’m having taco soup or something like that tonight. my song of the day would probably be a song from nick cave’s soundtrack for the assassination of jesse james, if i had enough energy or drive to upload it. no one reads this blog anyway (except chandler; thank you, chandler).
and so
i don’t sleep anymore, so i’ve seen three more movies since yesterday: burn after reading, ghost dog: way of the samurai, and the foot fist way. (once again, in descending order of likeability.)
this is productive in some way, right?
productivity
in the past week i’ve watched: the assassination of jesse james by the coward robert ford, gattaca, abre los ojos, lock, stock, and two smoking barrels, and snatch. (those are listed in order of best to not-as-best-but-still-really-good.)
hulu links are included for some of those films, and if you know where to look you can find the rest online, too. they come highly recommended.
eye no
my eyes are either infected or i have allergies. the doctor didn’t know which, so he gave me prescriptions for both just in case.
except i can’t afford them, because i don’t have money or health insurance.
song of the day: animal collective - my girls.
empty
i haven’t eaten today and i don’t think i will. i’ve felt strangely full since i woke up and have just been drinking glasses of water (my pee is super clear). i’ve even been around food and it didn’t seem appetizing. this is only noteworthy because i’m usually apt to devour everything in sight. hm.
song of the day: the mountain goats & kaki king - mosquito...
okay, thanks; much clearer now
this is what i get when i request clarified instructions.
confusing client: cause we want to put the bitter end video (the first one) of 2
confusing client: in the “video section
confusing client: and wanna put the new “studio” one as the first video
confusing client: and the rest of them in the “video” section
robby massey: sorry, what

returning
to illustrate how quincy is, exactly, is as easy as saying that within an hour of arriving i: ate squirrel, heard two quasi-serious (but fully racist) obama jokes, and saw a stuffed turkey.
on the plus song, i did record near five songs on the piano.
song of the day: girl talk - pure magic.
leaving
i’m going to quincy, fl, tonight. it’s outside of tallahassee and it’s a weird town steeped in the trappings of the sixties (with a 3/4’s population of minorities, and slightly segregated). farewell for now.
over our days to get there
my flights yesterday were actually pretty relaxing (for the first time ever). i spent the first (four hour) flight watching the fisher king and reading “me talk pretty one day” by david sedaris; and the second (one hour) flight half-napping while listening to music.
today i spent two hours designing a website for shelby lamb, two hours working on two different songs, one hour...
oh well
today was my last day in san francisco. i have a boring, horrible plane ride tomorrow. i’ll post on the other side.
