thursday night i went to bed with pieces of paper carrots in my hair and smelling like lasercutter. i had a dream where i was a bass player playing with some very traditional jazz band in a 1960s home where denton high school used to be. i drove up, late, in a wood paneled station wagon. and, to my surprise, renee reder is already there setting up ( Read more... )

so after a gig a few weeks ago i accidentally left my real book in mike's drum room. then, apparently, he visits runja in the predawn hours after her birthday, seducing her with his blinks. they have sex and, apparently, it was really amazing. i don't care even if i almost got to kiss mike's girl later in the dream, that is some harsh payback for ( Read more... )

whenever i eat at the cambridge grill in the student center, i always steal coca-cola and feel terrible about it as i'm eating. i have a nearly infinite amount of techcash, yet when i want coke i siphon it off and clench, wondering if the people working there saw me. i also like having coke in those clear plastic water cups instead of the mammoth ( Read more... )

that was the worst i have played in a while. i don't know if it is good or bad that nobody really noticed. well, except chris kottke. why can't i play good? i already know the answer to this question.

i don't know what to think about this group project. i thought we had some good ideas and i'm satisfied with how the model turned out, but i don't think it was received well by the TAs and reviewer. i guess we didn't explain it well? and one big criticism was that "you have too many layers on one model, you should separate it out into different ( Read more... )

on saturday i went to the library to look at books because i felt a distinct literary void in my life. i have almost finished the jack gilbert books and the ones i have here i've either browsed or don't feel interested in. i opened adrian tomine's new "shortcomings" book and read most of it quickly (it is a graphic novel). i was disgusted by how ( Read more... )
