I need to do more research into the California Gubenatorial race. two dems who seem identical, and arnold. its like being asked "would you rather drink a barrel of monkey snot, orslide down a razor blade naked into a pool of hydrogen peroxide?" neither choice seems very appealing

  "..rhymes for honeys and beats for boys..."
david garza


It was thursday night and of course I was at Largo. This time it was to see David Garza (again).

just guitar/piano, and a drummer.

it was simple. it was great.

it was an oddly small turnout, but for us 20 or so people, it was request night.
black and tan, got my own style, discoball world, some great songs en espanol

while I enjoy every permutation of a david garza (double drummers,pedal steels, dub station,) there is something great about the stripped down show last night.

every perfect note, every mistake was upfront.

i think the measure of a good song is its ability to sound good in its most simple form.

do I move?

is it worth the increase in rent to avoid long commutes and wasted time on the road?

we'll see.  ¶ 5/19/2006 09:28:00 AM 1 comments

  how does one convey a sense of urgency to a group of students?

i have tried many tricks in the book, including the one you have for me.

but, please, keep them coming.

i'm willing to try anything.  ¶ 5/17/2006 01:21:00 PM 0 comments

  The whirlwind trip to New York was great. Exhausting. Cramming every minute with "touristy" activities was fun and a bit overwhelming.

harlem,battery park, spamalot, chinatown, lestat, east village, soho,subways, seeing Kamili, just missing Minna, hotdogs, streetfood, "authentic" pizza, lots of coffee, the westin, times square..

all in about 3 days.

I'm already planning a trip back out there, but in a much more relaxed environment. I want to check out brooklyn and other places, do less touristy things, see things that only exist in new york.

seeing my family and friends at the same time was the best part. i can't believe I probably won't see erin and matt until thanksgiving.

pictures are forthcoming, as well as more commentary when the jetlag and caffeine withdrawal goes away.

back to work.  ¶ 5/16/2006 07:59:00 AM 0 comments

  If dreams were like bombs i'd be hezbollah, and no im not afraid of that metaphor
the architects

call it clarity or something like that, but I feel different, even better.

maybe its coming down from a busy weekend with lots of food and alcohol.

maybe it is the fact that I got a new job for next school year (more on that later)

  i want my life to have a late 80's early 90's soundtrack.
jangly guitars and lost vocals

I want my car to be an cutlass supreme
all metal and tires

i want my water to be from a new mexico stream
purified with iodine

i want my hands to smell slightly of nicotine
from the first cigarette ever

i want my hair to be stiff and crusty
with 99cent dep gel

i want my jeans to be baggy and pleated
