I really...

Hope Wolf Parade reads my blog they're awesome.

Walking around like a walker

I got rid of the damn crutches!!! I can't possible express how happy I am about this. I can walk without having to prop myself up! They also told me that in the next 2-3 weeks I'll be able to wear my own shoes again and ditch the boot all together. I can't wait...

Handsome Furs (Dan Boeckner of Wolf Parade and his wife) is playing Neumos a week from friday. Anyone who is interested in going should hit me up...

I'm a little torn about the 4th of July. For the last couple years I've gone to a friends house down on Alki which is always a blast. The only problem is getting back. It was much easier when I lived in W Seattle. So I'm thinking about just doing something at my place. Beer, bbq and blowing stuff up, you know, 4th of July...

I guess that I'll leave you with another preview of the project I'm working on. I'm going to post it all as a complete work once I have it to the point I like it. But I figure this way you'll get to see some variations:

Shrouded by hoods Abraham and Hagar discuss the finer intricacies of deism and it's place in modern society. Lady Madonna sits open legged reading a guide to Dungeons and Dragons. Her socks extend to the depths beneath her dress, striped in colors with no particular pattern. Suddenly Urban II proclaims, "Ain't no one better than Jesus! Ain't no one do you like Jesus!" He then spills a tall can of malt liquor trying to pull out a world map. Madonna's children are crying but she can't hear them. Abe has had enough and pulls the cord.




By the way, whatever happened with swine flu? Are we still all going to die?

I'm suffering from urban overload

If I had my way I'd plan a concert at the pier. It would feature Deerhunter, Wolf Parade, the Flaming Lips, Modest Mouse, Blur and the original Elephant Six (in that order). After which I think that my life would be complete and I could fade away into the sunset...

Stitches came out yesterday. Doc said all was well. Once I get it all cleaned up I'll post a pic for your viewing displeasure. It's pretty gnarly...

Farmers market is tonight. I'd be more pissed about missing it if it was later in the year. But I'd still like to go...

Here's an excerpt of a project that I've been working on forever. I think it fits here:

Another Drull Sunday

I woke up,
a cool gray haze
hung sulking in the view
from my kitchen window.
A pigeon
perched on the sill.
I studied it blankly
with exonerated eyes
as if to say I’m sorry
but I don’t know for what

Maybe someday I'll post a link to the whole thing. Just not today...

The city is bearing down on me. Memorial Day is coming up quickly. I have no idea what I'm going to do. I need to do something. If nothing else I'm going to catch a bus to Centralia and get a hotel, just to be away. Or Bellingham is nice this time of year. The buildings are all close to the ground...

Just another Monday...

Wolf Parade!!!! I'm happy to say that I'll be in the audience tonight for the show at Neumos...

What a lazy weekend. I decided to take a nap Saturday afternoon around 4pm. Slept all the way to Sunday. Then just sat in the shade of the willow all sunday, venturing out occasionally to play a little monkey ball...

I love my iPod on random. Here's a set list from earlier today:
Bob Dylan - Mr Tambourine Man
MF Doom - One Beer
John Coltrane - A Love Supreme
NIN - Starfuckers, Inc
Olivia Tremor Control - Green Typewriters IV
Just a little bit of everything...

I never was much one for raves. Something about them always seemed dangerous...

I have a Chinese fortune that I keep up at my desk, "An unexpected phone call will bring good news." I'm still waiting for that to come true...

The president has lifted the executive ban on off shore drilling. He thinks that congress should do that same. I think he's a douche bag. This isn't going to help us. It's like giving morphine to a heroin addict, just displacing the problem. But I guess in the end it's become part of our American way of life. Pavement said it best, "Develop the coast and sell the air, you know if we could we'd sell the air"...
