I know that my last entry was about a song, but this one is really exciting too. Eeeffrz is an endeavor that Tyler, Yusuf, and I took on while Yusuf was still here. It is basically just a product of us getting together and in the words of the late Mr. Leary, turning on, tuning in, and dropping out, so to speak. I think this song is my favorite of our creations. Shout Zero is a sunny day highlight. It's on myspace, so if you happen to check it out, feedback would be greatly appreciated for this stuff as well. I want to continue making Eeeffrz jams, so I'll have to figure out some way to get around Yusuf's distance from Richmond.
Speaking of turning on, tuning in, and dropping out, Lexy, Rafi, Juliana, John Graham, and I embarked upon a journey of that sort this past weekend. It was a truly incredible experience, one the best times I've had of its kind. We sat in my living room for hours just laughing, creating, and trying to make sense of the boundless nonsense entering and exiting our minds. John and I had an incredible moment with the tree in my back yard. Cold Toast made a surprise caroling appearance. The five of us, and Naseem who came over and surely felt like she was in Weirdo World, walked to the river, stopping at the tree house tree and spent a great deal of energy laughing at a kool car that kept kruisin' by. The river was incredible, though I think the rope swing is gone. I mean, I'm not one hundred percent positive about it since nothing really appeared all that familiar... but I swear I didn't see it. I really hope my eyes were only deceiving me because I think that the rope swing was one of Richmond's summer wonders.
Yesterday was the first day of instating sugar back into my diet. I ate some pasta last night and immediately regretted it. It's amazing to me how sensitive my body was to it's own digestion. Lexy and I both slept through our first Taoism exam this morning. It was terrible! We walked in near the end of class and the professor said, "now this is college, you've got to get your act together." How embarrassing... sleeping right on through an exam worth 30 percent of the class grade. Thankfully, he let us take it at 10 and I'm pretty sure we both passed, with flying colors might I add. Had it not been for Lexy's insistence that we go in late to ask him about taking late, I don't think I would have. So despite the stressful nature of this morning, the day is looking good.
The night is looking even better. I'm going to finally clean my room and go to see Cold Toast and some others at a house show with an open bar. I haven't drank in 3 weeks so I'm assuming one drink will do me in. I don't really want to be done in... so I'll have to make it a good one.
