For some reason, the past two days the phrase "Doing nothing so much it becomes something" has been running through my mind. I don't know if I heard this somewhere or if it just popped into my head, but I think about it constantly. I have been doing a lot of nothing recently, but as far as it becoming something, I suppose time will tell.
I have been playing the drums a lot recently. There is a set in my basement that belongs to a friend of mine and he said that since we're allowing him to keep it in our basement, I can play it anytime. I tried a couple months ago to get the hang of drumming, but it wasn't going so hot, so I gave it up. But I've been very anxious/angry/adjective recently about nothing really in particular so I decided to go downstairs and give them a whirl. I sat down and played for awhile before I realized that maybe I should play standing up. Totally different and totally better and totally more fun. Although it's hard for me to stray from this Racoo-oo-oon drum beat I always have stuck in my head. I've been listening to their tape quite a bit recently and enjoy it very much. Songs change to other songs pretty flawlessly and it varies a lot for being 30-40 minutes long. It'll be nice to be back in Iowa City so I can see them more. I wonder if they ever got the live tape I sent them? I told them to send me a shirt, but then I realized that might be a bit much for a measly tape. 'Tevs, G.
I finished 'Diary' by Chuck Palahniuk this morning and I really liked it. I think I read too much of it while other things were going on and I feel I missed some important stuff, but what I did get out of it was pretty fucked up in a way I like things to be fucked up in. I also finished 'Life of Pi' and 'Devil in the White City' in the past couple weeks. Both really good books in really different ways seeing as one is very much so non-fiction and the other is very much so fiction. I'd reccomend any of these three books to anyone I know. Now I need to read either 'Glamorama', 'Moby Dick' or 'The Sun Also Rises'. I'll probably read them all but I'm not sure which one I want to read right now. Any suggestions? Oh wait, I have to finish 'Winter of Our Discontent' first. Look how smart I am!
This is the part where I talk about roomate problems and how it's only one more month. But not really.
After I get off work, which is where I am right now, I think I'm going to watch 'Wisconsin Death Trip'. Anyone seen this? I guess it's kind of a documentary, but it was made recently about a fucked up town in Wisconsin where shit kept going wrong. I hear the cinematography is gorgeous, but the timeline is a bit iffy. Also to watch: 'Twin Falls Idaho'. I just watched 'Rules of Attraction' and gained new found respect for James Van Der Beek(sp?). Making out with a dude? Thumbs up, brah. It was a good movie in general and that girl who plays Lauren is possibly the most gorgeous woman I've ever seen.
Lastly, I've been thinking about giving up this livejournal business, but it's a bit hard. I just keep checking it.
Lastly(for real this time), I think that I won't be living with Qual, Byram and P-diddy next year for two reasons. A#1 reason: That basement is total grime stock and gross and although I could fix it up, it seems like a lot of work. Reason 2: I may be living with the elder Kapp which I think is a really good idea. I have a feeling that would be totally rockzore and we both thought of it at the same time. It'd be like the parents are gone all the time! And we'd have banging New Years Eve parties every weekend!
