i really don't like being sick, says my brother. i really don't like being sick, says me. it makes me feel immobile and useless. i dont like that. it reminds me of stagnation. not urgent!

so, there are surprises in the mail. my hopes and desires and dreams in an envelope? i used the word earnestly earlier today, and i meant it.

honestly? this being sick is probably my fault. i've been staying up way too late. but how about that urgency! it felt so good to be alive, playing records and wearing headphones. i very much wish it wasn't one of those experiences that requires isolation. i wish we could share that. what was i saying, about wishes and their likelihood? hobbes wishes for a sandwich. in the end, calvin is bitter, but hobbes is please, fulfilled, and well nourished. but sometimes you've got to go a little hungry!

the second side of the new magnolia electric company record is kind of devastatingly pretty. while the record on the whole is a more full band sound and generally neil youngish (not a bad thing), we get some of molina and an acousitc guitar, a delicacy which doesn't wear out its welcome, by any means.

oh, and sometimes the entire pace of the world seems totally out of whack. weeks are still seven days long, five of those being business, right?
