1. I quit my job today. Went out with a bang - seven signatures.
2. Got my computer back because I told mom I wanted to start my project.
3. And I did - transcribing all of my favorite songs on finale. Starting with elliott smith. I started with single file and it sounds really good. I've got the first 25 seconds done.
4. Ben today! less than 24 hours.
5. I hate frisbee sometimes because I have to care about it but a lot of people don't.
6. A Scanner Darkly was really good.
7. I wanna be sedated.
8. I have an unhealthy obsession with Elliott Smith. I wish he wasn't dead so I would at least have the possibility of someday getting to talk to him. Example:
… these days, I’m trying to take that piece of the puzzle [drugs] back out. Just cause I think that’s cropped up enough already in my songs. But it’s hard to fully dispense with because it’s such a permanent feature of people that I know. Not that they’re necessarily alcoholic, some of them, but…. Y’know, some people do drugs, some people exercise. People find all kinds of ways to get out of the humdrum repetitive nature of having to be the same person all the time. But it might not be very interesting to write a song that describes the experience of jogging."
damn it, just be not dead.
