Quote of the day

"Can you tell from my body language that I'm farting?"

Surely

As sure as my tounge doth wag, I will make it home.

Setting up

Sorry, friends! Things have been so bananas for me I haven't had a chance to dial in. Thanks for your patience- I will make an effort to chime more consistently.
***
The Slint tour has been remarkable- thanks to everyone who came to the shows and supported us!

Kim's Wigs on 4th

Hang onto your hats- Slint leave on Thursday for Europe

Tweaked

I'm trying to regain my footing like some kind of clumsy astronaut.

Derby Day Blues

Although we responded quickly, our time together was limited to brief phone calls in between hallucinations of clear, perfect skies.

Alive and well

After an awesome solo tour of Europe, I'm alive and well and living in Louisville KY-- rehearsing with SLINT. Don't believe those nasty rumours! Word!

Almost home

Just got back to JFK, currently waiting for my connecting flight back home. Dirty 3 ATP still fresh on me, I want to bathe in pizza sauce. More details to follow.

View from a car crash

Saw the empty Krogers display boxes soaking up rain. Broken and empty, I thought about how unnoticeable they were in the store, overflowing with food. I'm sure I picked through one of them at least once.

Wish for what's not-wrong

He sat in his garage on a folding chair, cursing the blazing sun. The following morning he walked through snow flurries in a pair of flip-flops.

We jam econo

Watched the Minutemen documentary last night-- pretty effin awesome. Saw Idiocracy before that and laughed for days after.

Notes from the Right

Typical Men's room graffiti in Midwestern America.

Oven roasted twinkies

Made by Girl Scouts & other fictional creatures!

Rehashing

Old friends come around, patient with your pace. You said, "I'm broke and trying to make a living." Preaching to the converted on Sunday morning.

Squeak squeak goeth she

I moved back into my Airstream apartment and deleted all my email addresses. Time for steps, little steps, tiny steps. Forward.

Intensity blah blah blah

Rejoice in your emptiness, while you can, she said. But it was too late- I was already overjoyed with all the things I didn't have.

Summer hibernation

We have to go underground for a while, to emerge again in September '07-- more able and strong as fuck.

Awoke a few hours later

I borrowed a blanket & pillow and fell asleep on the couch around 5am. I awoke a few hours later to figure out my way home.

Tejas

We pulled over for a toilet break in a small town in Texas-- turned out to be the city I was born in! So random and awesome.

Patience

Blew up my amp- not from rocking but from sheer stupidity. Waiting for the amp, for my taxes to go through. Waiting.
