the new of montreal album, skeletal lamping, has leaked to the internet. it is magnificent! completely different than any other album they have done. every release they have put out has immediately become my favorite. this one is going to require many more listens before i can say that, but i feel that it is definitely going to happen. all of the hooks last for no more than a few seconds, then they are replaced my something else....there is zero repetition. the fact that it stays so poppy without any repetition for 61 minutes is kinda incredible. i have only listened to it a few times and im very happy with it.
other new music i have been enjoying lately: parenthetical girls - entanglements and the dead science - villainaire
kristina came back to portland on wednesday...i never forgot how wonderful it was to be around her, but it still seems impossible how happy i am around her. we read some harry potter, watched some movies, made our own gravy and mashed potatoes as well as sangria. celebrated her birthday and had some extremely rough sex which gave her about 50 bruises, which we followed up the next day (today) with the softest and most gentlest sex we have ever had.....which caused her to have her first orgasm.
im simultaneously proud of making her go all the way but also a bit ashamed that it has taken this long. i guess the problem has always been that i felt like i need to be very aggressive and go as fast as possible....which is nice on one level, but really taking it slow and soft is the true way to go. perhaps this is obvious to most of us, but it was not to me and perhaps others can learn from my mistakes.
i will not shoulder all the blame, because i have mostly been with inexperienced girls all my life, so no one ever told me (not that they would have known) to slow down, in fact i have usually been told to go faster and harder. i'm not sure if it is appropriate to talk about this in a blog but i feel like i wish someone else had blogged about this and i had read it 4 years ago....
in other news my brother brett broke up with his girlfriend he was living with and now he is staying with me in my single room studio apartment. luckily he has friends he can stay with sometimes and our schedules are kinda at odds with one another so i still have plenty of personal time/space. its actually much better than i expected and my brother is one of my best friends in my life so we have had some fun.
next weekend my other little brother, sean, is coming over as well. he is moving to portland. i am simultaneously excited and anxious. same as when brett moved here. im looking forward to getting to live in the same city as my brother but worried about them cause sean has never lived alone, not to mention outside las vegas (which was the case for brett as well). but just like brett, i'm sure he will land on his feet and thrive in this city.
speaking of this city, portland. it is similar to las vegas in one way at least: it is growing! so many motherfuckers be moving here, it is crazy! i swear to you i almost only hangout with people i knew in las vegas, who have moved to portland. i don't really like this, but i cant help it. i try to avoid it but they just keep coming. another thing about portland: the rain is back! i am pleased to be having gloomy skies again and not be sitting in a hot house wishing it would cool down. i will probably be sick of it in a few months, but for now i am savoring the sweet scent of summer rain!
