Autumn Public Service Announcement
A lot of people think of autumn as a season of cider, hayrides and Thanksgiving togetherness. I tend to think of autumn like Frost and Steinbeck did: a blatant metaphor for death. And dying is all I want to do when I see hoards of undergraduates parading around Ann Arbor in Ugg boots. Didn’t anyone read the memo? Lindsay Lohan doesn’t wear those anymore, so you can start making...
Ok, here is the final version of Means to an End...
Wah Waaaaahhh
I was a lot more successful when I was placing random ads on craigslist looking for musicians than when I respond to them. Now that I actually have two pretty good samples of how I sound, I can’t get anyone into it. I emailed a dude who sounded like he wanted to make a band just like what I want. No reply. I emailed a dude who wanted female vocals for a studio project. Reply and no...
Joe the Heating and Air-conditioning Guy
I know it’s probably just because I wear too much makeup, but people on the bus just cannot help themselves when they sit next to, near or not even that near me. Take for instance Joe the Heating and Air Conditioning Guy who I sat not even that near to today. As soon as I sit down he fires up an unsolicited conversation. First about the colors of the flag of Ireland and then of course...

I watch movies!
I’ve seen a few good movies lately that I will now describe for you.
Hamlet 2. This movie was awwwwesome. I saw it first in New York with Patty and then again in Ann Arbor because I liked it so much. It’s about a failed actor turned high school drama teacher who writes a sequel to Hamlet in order to cope with his past relationship with his father, and of course to save the drama...

I hate science!
Well, I got a goddamn migraine today, so I think I can rule out diet pop as the cause of them. I guess I’m going to try to keep my consumption of diet pops low however since Bryan told me “it makes me a better person” not to drink them. I had delicious Thai food last night and this is at least the second time I’ve had a migraine following Thai, so that is what I’m...
Once I'm well again...
My priorities right now are to get my singing career rolling and to begin ruining my academic career. My plan right now is to (1) do everything that these helpful BBC guides tell me to do about making demos and getting them around, (2) reply to all the Craigslist ads wanting vocalists for studio work and (3) continue playing and recording with our little quartet. I dunno what songs I should use...

Brrrr
Lordy, it’s finally starting to feel like the Michigan fall/winter. It’s 45 degrees outside now which is purty chilly, especially considering last week was in the 80’s.
There has been some kind of Hollywood worthy infection going around campus (maybe TB?), and probably about 80% of my friends are sick with it. I came down with it on Saturday following Bryan’s...
