"a face where it doesn’t belong"

i read this interview with the underground london dubstep artist burial, it's kinda long, but he says some really crazy cool things and it's really strange but kind of awesome.

ok that's the worst description i've ever given anything, but there are still some gems

‘there’s nothing worse for a human being than to see a face where it doesn’t belong’.

sweet 16 | yea pats!!!!

you know things are looking good when multiple peoples gmail status messsages are YEAH PATS!!!

faith is on tour with the germs, she's in reno, then san jose, then oakland. pretty wild

great day today, listen to the playlist. patriots game, incredible, celtics game, big win, it just doesn't get any better

i still feel a little sick, lame, but at least i've got all this good music to heal me. i gotta remember to set my itunes library cleaner thing tonight, it goes through and removes all my dead tracks, it's an applescript ("shweet appleshcript!")

rockingooooooouuuuuuuuutttttttttt. turn up the vol turn up the vol turn up the volume.

watched the game with andy, mobbed over and celebrated with chris and rob and ben, cruised home, watched randy moss press interview. that was my job.

sleep til noon when you can. plant the tulips.

cop out | the sickness

last nights post was a cop out. but i didnt feel really well all of yesterday, and now i think i might feel a little worse, so i'm sick. i don't want to admit though, even that i'm a little sick, so i'll say i'm barely sick

went to the broadway auto gas and service station today at prospect and broadway. i needed a tail light and an inspection.

as i was talking to the mechanic, who was by himself on one of the busiest days of the year, a guy came over and asked for directions to buckingham browne and nichols. the mechanic had never heard of it and thought it was a street, i told dude where to go, but probably got him even more lost.

so the mechanic says wait right here, and then installs the light, inspects the car, and gives me a new sticker all in the span of about 10 minutes. it couldn't have been any longer. i was ready to go hang out at home and wait, but instead the heavens opened up and...well i should have tipped the guy.

hard drive's full again, whens the next macworld again? aright i gotta get well.

i was thinking and i realized that since i started doing this blog the past couple of months i've become pretty silly. i sometimes think this isn't a great thing, that i'm missing out, that i'm lame and not cool. but that's ok right? i like feeling lame and not lame and cool and not cool at the same time.

more consideration

good season

good season boston college football, respek

durante | job interview

kevin durant does not want to lose to the celtics tonight. i was supposed to have a job interview today but instead i have one in framingham on wednesday.

that's right, framingham, wednesday. it's at the place that isn't techtarget or reed business, it's the third place.

today i splashed through central sq, gotta go to the gym first thing tmrw morning. came back, chris brought jade and warner over, matt fay took the red line here with a ton of luggage, and andy came over.

it's been awesome. none of us have seen matt or jade in forever, and we had fun with andy. pretty much just eating chinese food and party shuffle. the cheap red wine is cheap and red and wine.

eddie house makes it rain.

we don't remember but we remember that the other one doesn't.

look at these web sites

mp3 daily
links to good albums

making perfect sense

making perfect sense.

pretty much spent the whole day in brighton. sun went up and passed across the sky and went down. i stayed up.

so i have an interview at 3pm tmrw with CSNStores.com We'll see how that goes

B. a hat with a B on it. jabra is the name of a brand. jabrand

1 2 3 together. barry farms. 1 2 3 same team.

i'll watch bourne ultimatum and simpsons movie soon enough.

ok i'll tell you something you'll like. this site will send free ring tones to your phone instantly, and will help you to upload your mp3s to your phone. seriously i saw it, just my phone isn't supported. enjoy. Myxer: Ringtones from your music!

celtics won big, i'm having a little too much fun watching them these days. 1 2 3 shave is the hardest part.

k you had to be there.

the central square cvs

the central square cvs

reviewed on yelp.com:

"MAN, I love the Central Square CVS! Never before have these many crazies congregated at a location that's supposed to carry serious business. It's mad sketchy, y'all. Everyone who comes here/works here IS a crazy (this includes myself - I did once entered drunk off my ass yelling "cookie dough!"). From the lady at the counter that used to creep me out, to the dude that hands out the photographs, to the crack lady hanging right outside: I love it! Seriously, just walk in there, buy a soda, a bag of chips and waste your time there long enough and you'll see something fascinating.
ACTUALLY, we should have an entry dedicated to that whole block in Central Square. So many stories! My favorite might be this one time I sat on the bus stop bench to chat with 2 homeless dudes and one of them told me: "Careful young lady. They defecated on there. Go home. Wash your clothes, shoes and hair." Priceless!"

“Jesus Was Way Cool”

“Jesus Was Way Cool”

everything is alright. bovine ska and rocksteady from 12-6am tonight doing best 33 ska, best 33 rocksteady, and best 33 early reggae tracks of all time.

am i staying up til 6am? not this time. but i might have to call into the station at like 2am to give generoso support.

again, merry christmas. not sure what's gonna happen this week, hopefully see some more people, absolutely must go skiing or work out. check out the vocals, savage drums

do you think that there are going to be riots in boston saturday night if the patriots beat the giants? i do.

oh yeah have you seen the pullout poster on americas shadow government thats in the jon stewart america book? i tried to find a digital copy of it but came up empty. we used to have that on the wall at the river ranch. i'm trying to see more dartmouth people, but snow and historical sports moments are impeding

oh yeah i setup an account on intjforum.com we'll see how that goes. thinking about my personality type is an extremely egotistical enterprise.

ugh i think i ate too much tonight. which means i'm gonna eat more today. at least it's not carrot cake icing! inside blog joke!

join. participate. include.

happy christmas!

happy christmas!

missing mondays. as in i didnt manage to hack a post during monday. now it's christmas, merry christmas! may you sleigh and fly. the hindu kush, the diesel fuel.

aright, i'll tell you. so i started checking out mit's free courses last night. i got particularly interested in their comparative media and new media classes, as well as classes on television. i even listened to a lecture on tv. and now i wanna listen to more lectures!

but don't take my word for it, geek out Free Online Course Materials | MIT OpenCourseWare

also, in the new york times article about the words of 2007 i came across this: "tumblelog n.

A Web site or blog that is a collection of brief links to, quotes from, or comments about things a person has encountered while Web browsing. It is a sort of digital commonplace book."

this is an aspiration of mine. but links take work. well, i'll work on it.

k y'all, listen the minister, listen to the reverend, it's christmas time. in the bluest state, try not to think about holyoke.

a white christmas isn't as good as a quiet one. bbp, i'm avoiding a couple choice things. avoidance is hard to avoid. like discipline.

pick up the paintings and put the paintings on the wall.

the kind of life we're living

the kind of life we're living.

ok, the past 24 hours have been fun. today i bumped into generoso, the host of wmbr's bovine ska and rocksteady.

we chatted in the checkout line of the central sq liquidation store. i got his email, i somehow need to send him and wmbr up to 30gb.

pats won, celts playing kind of shady now.

last night faith and demers and joanna came over. red wine with matt, tree decorating. a staple from a copy of the new yorker was substituted for a needle, and popcorn was strung.

joanna baked me a cake! a giant chocolate cake with colored m&ms. the m&ms form a sand mandala. except instead of sand it's chocolate.

joanna, unable to celebrate many christmases due to dietary restrictions, was able to decorate the tree, but refused to water it.

faith had a mae shi shirt, do they come in xxl?

matt flew back to seattle today. it's gonna be a quiet apt, but fine because meditating 2x20 min a day is the new way.

tree looks really good, with hat gloves scarf boots and cards. listen to demers's stories.

thanks for the birthday cheer and presents! looking up.

under the tree | under the table

hiiii, it's a good day, a good birthday. the tree has been decorated more, and is resplendent in candy canes and pink lights. being a quarter of a century old, i think of myself as a year younger

hmmm or not at all. i've gotten many birthday wishes, thank you thank you thank you. i'm really glad and lucky.

bc basketball beat northeastern, which was cool. pats at 1pm tmrw. i still have shopping to do. yikes

ok johnathan guest hosted subject to change today, good show, he did his best of 2007, this is a two hour stream, open it in vlc to listen to different parts
Dec. 22 Subject to Change

k good cheer

the day before my birthday

the day before my birthday. or rather, the evening. it's the solstice. which means days will be getting longer! circadian rhythms that stay the same.

ok i went to shaws for the first time in a while, and i got the $1.49 carrot cake slice. bad idea. i've had a stomach ache ever since. it's kind of a novelty for me to have a stomach ache, which is cool, and i'm glad i'm not really sick like rob is.

celtics are beating the bulls right now. the clock isn't working now, jeez.

i got hana sushi, yakisoba. "i guess they're muting the boos on this channel."

right on, i'm down. rob and i have been having a good time cracking up and making jokes and things. laugh laugh laugh laugh laugh laugh

rob wants to be a fly on the wall when tyrus thomas and big baby hang out.

are you john mccain? do you support this message?

how would you like ralph nader to be characterized in our textbooks?

you know what i found impressive?

you know what i found impressive? 720 dunk. twice in the air.

tonight was great. ok, first, today was great. it's a snow day, which means you don't leave. or, either you go home and then don't leave, or, like me, you wake up, and then go to whole foods for a second, and then don't leave.

the sad part is is that i was supposed to see kate mulley and jade and everyone. instead................

asgard, lotsa fun. actually we walked into the enormous room first, but the party was somewhere else!! oh yeah, and at the asgard it was guitar hero night, which meant rock band night, which meant 4 people singing playing guitar playing bass and drumming and it was mostly us.

fun and funny, drinks and drinks and beers and the magic hat seasonal is the best thing ive ever tasted. no this isnt a drunken call or a drunken blitz or a drunken dial or a drunken text.

ok it's called roxy Rolles.

this is clyntons last night in boston for a while, sadness. moment of silence.

ok. sun will rise, whatchoono. flash bang

snowed in | cancellations

the snow has not stopped snowing. the cumulative accumulating accumulations. ok i'm reading still life with woodpecker by tom robbins, then i wanna read everything else by him.

matt and clynton are still here, which makes this place the funniest apt around. how i did i get this lucky?

but kate mulley wants people to hang out at her place in newton tonight, but is that going to be a cancellation?

i got a voicemail from jade and talked to her online. she's taking the train to harvard sq, i'll give her a call from central sq.

celtics game was a lot of fun last night. jeff had to go see their first home loss, which is tough. lot to talk about, but it was exciting and felt like a playoff game.

so much good music to listen to, including thes one of people under the stairs. people under the stairs played a show at tabard back in the fall of 2003. noah made it happen. we walked across the green blasting their cd on a boombox.

aright, nba live. gonna play unreal tournament 4 soon, can't wait. what's your guess, how many inches of snow does Boston get today?

the statement that fills the void that arises

the statement that fills the void that arises. the calls come in. floating david bowie strangeness.

celtics pistons 7pm tonight, jeffs going with a couple friends, i'll be watching in cambridge. got a nice celtics sweatshirt.

the combination vegetarian place from falafel palace. the sidewalks slip and the snow mounds melt. salt and sand and more salt and more sand. snowed in, dug out, plowed in, shovelled out.

skiing. whoops wrong button. cross country, alpine, downhill, nooo moguls. the change that needs to be made that is being avoided.

a party in space, that needs to happen. the reality that constructs itself. the perception that interprets and unveils. it's been going on for some time.

if i don't think about that. but it's ok. i guess i'm lucky.

personality types | keirsey temperaments | "Everything is capable of logical prediction"

there are 16 personality types. i am INTJ, the strategist/scientist/mastermind. only 1 percent of the population is intj. you can take an online quiz and find out what you are.

i have felt generally positive about this, until i came across this online after excessive searching. now i need to think. from INTJ - Jung Type Descriptions

"loner, more interested in intellectual pursuits than relationships or family, not very altruistic, not very complimentary, would rather be friendless than jobless, observer, values solitude, perfectionist, detached, private, not much fun, hidden, skeptical, does not tend to like most people, socially uncomfortable, not physically affectionate, unhappy, does not talk about feelings, hard to impress, analytical, likes esoteric things, tends to be pessimistic, not spontaneous, prone to discontentment, guarded, does not think they are weird but others do, responsible, can be insensitive or ambivalent to the misfortunes of others, orderly, clean, organized, familiar with darkside, tends not to value organized religion, suspicious of others, can be lonely, rarely shows anger, punctual, finisher, prepared"

a lot of what's here is ridiculous, as you can see. i even came across a description that flatly said "They do not enjoy physical contact except with a chosen few."

"Everything is capable of logical prediction" from INTJ Personality Type

of course! what an obvious blanket statement! yes, i am an oracle and i profess foresight:

"Black Hole Fires at Neighboring Galaxy"

"This composite image shows the jet from a black hole at the center of a galaxy striking the edge of another galaxy, the first time such an interaction has been found."

"Death Star' Galaxy Black Hole Fires at Neighboring Galaxy"

the best of studio one women, mojo rock steady, studio one women, feel like jumpin, studio one rockers

ok i watched some flight of the conchords last night and i'm going out and finding the dvd today. i haven't laughed that hard since the pinata at babayan's party this summer.

shoot i gotta roll, moving at the speed of dave. massage at inman sq oasis, getting xmas tree in union sq, then shopping with jeff.

new music, festival of new musics is not new music. making your own instruments, like the mae shi. omg watched a diva's christmas carol last night. now that was something else. i got a dvd of a really old production of scrooge for a buck at target. i think that's gonna have to get watched.

my todo list extends into infinity.

aright, in a minute.

the wintry mix and its discontents

looks like the pats game is over. chris couldn't go because his car got snowed in. he walked home last night. i brought a wreath home that we picked up in porter, i couldn't find my car for a bit, so i was stomping around davis with a giant wreath.

showed up with jake and chris to a couple parties, some christmas stuff and sweaters and hamilton people. was fun, played wii bowling a lil, stared at christmas lights.

we chilled (vodka triple sec cranberry juice). dealt with the awkweirdness, sank guacamole.

went out, from davis to porter, took over a room, accepted a dead guy rogue ale, bud light, crackers and cheese. went to the chinese place close to davis sq, got kicked out at 2am sharp.

back to porter, dumprings, watched the first half hour of superbad, left with jake, considered getting a cab and talked to three girls smoking butts on a porch on elm st. i picked up the wreath and hoofed it to broadway, eventually finding the right street.

got home way too late, woke up early, met clynton's brother and his family, showed him ps3, kicked snow, got sick, neighbors downstairs gave me their shovel, dug out the car, drove here, hash browns, celtics boogie, jets miss the field goal.

pomegranates. juiced. seeds. do the watermelons give me health?

live couch poetry

live couch poetry. purple tshirt, dkny jeans, whose aquafina is that? the target parking lot was full, but i'll be back.

i'm in the mood to go see Before the Devil Knows You're Dead, looks like a really good movie, it's playing in davis sq at 9:45, i think i'm gonna walk there from north cambridge.

college hoops, hockey, family guy. i won't be at the pats game tmrw but i will be watching. pats and celts both start at 1pm, which is weak, so i'll be flipping back and forth, likely at home, dono who will join me.

the vodka is called reyka, it comes from iceland, claims to be volcano filtered. pumice is as rough as it sounds.

holy cow google maps street view, take a walk, anywhere. eyes in the back of your head.

shopping over the internet, purchasing online, spending fun tickets on a website. packages arrive, ups notes are left, cardboard packing tape and this side up.

arg i need chocolate mousse and cupcakes and carrot cake and cheese cake and a breakfast at matt murphys with eggs and that amazing bread. i never drink coffee anymore

i should really just find a place in cambridge where i can get my haircut. i gotta man up and go get a tree, shoot, but do i need a tree holder first (mental note)?

don't pay any attention to biorhythms

not personal at all

this blog isn't personal at all. oh wait yeah it is.

there are a lot of things i want to write about, i've been thinking about them over the past hour or so. but now i can't remember anything so i'll just write whatever i feel like

ended up not going to mideast or to the party tonight (both good calls). ended up watching thomas crown affair and discussing body doubles. right. they're like 90 years old

oh yeah if you study film eventually you learn two things -- 1. hollywood is 75% heterosexual romance -- 2. the american narrative structure is based on melodrama

put them together and what do you get? every other mainstream film contains a melodramatic heterosexual romance. movies suck. movies are bad. i took a whole class where all we did was study melodrama, and it opened my eyes. but i digress

so tonight was chill. i ended up picking up jeff and giving him a ride home. gave him a couple hats. he had gotten steak fries and a steak and cheese (nasty).

i had the best tea ever, royal blend. theres a place called carberrys right near me that's nice too

but if i wanna write everything then what if i write everything? then i'll just come across as long-winded and lacking direction. but this blog isn't personal. it's not personal at all. oh wait what else is it

because there's so such thing as objectivity. there's no such thing as objectivity. there is no such thing as objectivity.

k this is kinda becoming a marathon post, but it's ok, roll with it.

i drove across the bu bridge and looked at the snow on the arch. the river is freezing over. what kind of winter is this? oh yeah it's like any other boston winter.

people live in boston and don't like it. they don't like it. boston or the weather. i'm not one of these people, but i understand these people. (or do i?)

criticizing, second guessing, how many other ways are they to say questioning yourself?

almost only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades. i used to think i was cool for knowing this. but now i know that playing horseshoes is good times and hand grenades are terrible and not something to joke about.

i'll try to keep my mouth shut. i have to remember to not joke about that. gunner palace.

sun will rise, it won't last forever. i should be asleep. dram, dream, dredge, dreary, driven to drain dirigibles.

my best year is next year

my best year is next year. seeing people, talking to people, not seeing people, not talking to people.

"don't you feel like sometimes you get totally f+++ing robbed?" "yes"

sitting here, waiting for c, should be any minute. celtics are on, mr lif at middle east tonight (with special teamz). party in davis. what's gonna happen in the next 6 hours? your guess is as good as mine

genius bombs are being dropped on me.

"we can find a market for that"

kinda playing video games, kinda want a wii, kinda want full immersion virtual reality

i remember being in cyber theory class (i think) and talking about total immersion, like in strange days. total immersion.

the games of the future won't feel like games. they'll be like the sims, except you'll be one of the people

it boggles the mind how much time and energy people spend on gaming. let's hope all this effort eventually gets diverged to something more productive (but i diverge)

what happens if you look at a jackson pollock painting upside down? if it was painted while horizontal, what dimensionality does a plane attain?

i'm deliberately mentally meandering.

put on your galoshes

the shirtless man in shorts shovelling the sidewalk in front of the middle east

the shirtless man in shorts shovelling the sidewalk in front of the middle east

i spent a while in the car today. i drove through waltham, arlington, belmont, cambridge, boston, brookline, somerville. the going was slow. it is now the 14th.

i know someone that got a dog.

i'm talking with someone now that i haven't talked to in a long time.

i'm trying to make a decision (but am i really?).

i am becoming more disparate, disentangled, disassociated, disassembled. under mi sleng teng

i don't so much type as splat, i don't so much write as blotter, i don't so much compose as dispose, i don't so much blog as scribble, i don't so much report as ramble, i don't so much compile as pile on.

i'm thinking about the way the snow makes you feel. the snow falls and rests, flake on flake, in drifts that rest on car doors and church walls.

i sit in my living room and the snow continues to fall, and the inches on the sloping roof of the church tumble down.

at dartmouth the snow and ice used to fall off the buildings directly into the path you were about to be walking in. i saw many abandoned cars on the road tonight

k. let's listen to duke ellington's nutcracker suite. then vince guaraldi charlie brown christmas. then hot chocolate, then dream

back home | ambivalence | my roommates make me happy

back home. i'm ambivalent about continuing living in boston. which is weird, because i have so much fun here and i love everyone here and i know i would miss everyone so much if i left.

i'm lucky though, cause i live with amazing roommates. clynton had to pull an all nighter and they're hilarious

"yeah but he's a fashion designer and he has like diplomatic immunity from being gay"

i'm reminded of how we wrote quotes all over the walls of tabard, especially the bathroom walls. over the course of a term, a year, an undergraduate career, you read the same quotes dozens, hundreds, thousands of times. it would be a short quote and then a persons house name, or a couple house names, which you either knew or didnt

so my roommates are funny and make me laugh constantly. i don't know how or why i ever lived alone. whoops.

i want tmrw to be a big day and to get things done (but do i really?). looks like a storm's coming, uhoh, noreaster. i learned about what a northeaster was once but forgot. i've come to understand i did a lot of work in college but it wasn't sustained enough.

i'm gonna cop oh no's dr. no's oxperiment.

lemme get back at you

all good things must come to an end

all good things must come to an end. headed back soon, all awaits.

today andy and i drove to venice beach, walked up and down, i got some hats and shirts as gifts for friends. we went to coffee bean and in n out. i've packed my jazz and am redz.

i'm going back with a couple notions and a whole new appreciation for warm weather. literally on the 11pm news here they talked about how cold it is here. it's pretty funny. rob b called me today and we'll hang out soon. there are other people i need to get in touch with.

i got a dodgers hat, be ready to call me out on it.

i'm gonna go back to central sq and play call of duty. i get to use the excuse of being jet lagged for at least a couple days. i'm looking forward to doing things on thursday and friday. tmrw night i'm not sure if i'll make it back out after getting dropped off at home.

check ya in the morning

in song and dance

in song and dance.

time to go out to the porch and catch rays. i've been really lucky with the weather here. kind. my plane leaves here at 12:50PM tmrw. i've gotten some random photos and will hopefully get more today. ideally andy will get out of work and we'll go to the beach.

listening to wmbr, as always. my fav shows are motivashunal muzik, choice is yourz, generoso's bovine ska and rocksteady, the intercontinental, subject to change, sans serif, lost and found, nonstop ecstatic screaming, time travelling, and backwoods

i've finally gotten to the point where reading online news articles on my laptop is a little tiresome. i should start using my old computer again maybe, set it up somewhere. not a bad idea actually. i can't wait to see what new laptops apple is coming out with in the next month.

i used to check maccentral and macosrumors religiously. yikes. i can think about my attention span and ability to focus and how it relates to using computers and reading. it's pretty astounding. i am now able to be twice as productive writing, reading, or computing. i now feel the need to create and produce because it is so much more effortless.

i like it out here in cali, but i wouldn't be moving til the second half of 2008. i'm not sure how i can begin thinking of it more as a possibility than a fiction.

hold fast

kinda feeling a little more motivated to find a job. not sure what direction is the right one too. my friends are my consultants.

started reading sixth extinction, it's gonna be good. i wanna work 20 hours a week and still have time to feel like reading. i'll repost my resume on monster and careerbuilder and all that.

that was a distraction. hours later, bruins are on vs now. better win. our defense is good.

gonna go out somewhere for dinner tonight, time will tell

i had wanted to

yesterday andy and i watched exciting football and rooted up the pats a friend of andy's.

we of course had spent the whole day in the apt in front of the tube, so a change of place was in place. we drove out to santa monica and then to venice to a restaurant called bamboo that was delicious, diverse menu, cuban/mexican. it was really, really good. we got appetizer, salad, and entree, and it was a great mix of shrimp, veggies, tequila, and some brazilian rum.

they had chocolate mousse cake too but i'm getting pretty incapable of eating that stuff after a big meal. the food was good though -- it's hard to find a really good place, and when you do you gotta hold on to it.

we came home and just hung out. now i gotta straighten out my back.

today andy's gotta go to work, which means i'm on my own. more porch, more books, i'd like to go to venice beach tmrw. thinking really really hard

leftfield | burial

burial is a new band that's all dubsteppy. i've been introduced to matt shadetek, and i'll link to this nutty grime/dubstep mix. more fire more bass
you might have to skip through some parts. i haven't listened to much grime but i'm trying to make the transition.

yesterday was fun and funny. let's see. we drove to santa monica and went to the parlor again where we got a bunch of drinks and food. andy's friend vanessa joined us and andy managed to gut it out through the night even though he only had one meal the whole day.

we watched the celtics beat the bulls, and also laughed at the guy that was rooting for north dakota hockey. there was a big to do when dartmouth invited the fighting sioux to play in a dartmouth hockey tournament which resulted in the dartmouth athletic director writing a ridiculous letter. i might as well link to it because it raises the issue of how dartmouth can suck so blatantly.

she really thought hard before she wrote "Let me state clearly that UND’s position is offensive and wrong." stupid dartmouthshe probably composed that letter in a panicked 3 minutes.

so, went from the parlor to vanessa's local spot called mccabes, which was nice, with couches, and andy still hadn't eaten anything. we then went to another bar that i've gotta inquire about the name, had kamikazes, watched ucla volleyball (i guess we were in bruins neighborhood), then went and got cookies and ice cream at dee dee reese

lotta fun. i think i'm gonna get some sun from 10-1 while andy crushes football. got my vans on but they look sneakers. to stay sylphlike. i'm out of clothes, bad news. k cool cya

Re: Up

the parlor was so nice that we're gonna go back in an hour. doesn't look like there are any other games on so we'll def be able to watch the celtics again.

after santa monica we just chilled last night. today we picked up andy's friend apollo and drove him to go pick up his car. we drove up the coast and even drove through topanga canyon and the burned out parts. we drove by a church that had burned to the ground.

we went up the pch through malibu canyon and malibu canyon rd to agoura hills and then came back on the 101 through the valley. i got a couple good photos of a bugatti and the torched hills.

we stopped at a produce store and i got good local strawberries. we hung out and watched monster trucks for a second.

the parking lots get crowded here too. we drove by the farmacy. gonna be cold tonight. so much to be accomplished. i wanna move out here

L.A. continued | Echo Park

A lot to write about, I'll try to get it out. We drove all around the place, lenox, inglewood, baldwin hills, through mid city, pico union, west lake, macarthur park, alvarado st, downtown to skid row on the east side near alameda, the warehouse district, fashion district, union station, a few blocks down sunset boulevard to echo park.

faith lives by the pond, driving a hybrid and parking either in front of or in a small garage with a lock. it's on a hill, up steps, she's lived there for a while. lemme try to piece it together.

we went to pick up her laptop which was finally ready at the mall, went to ralphs to get beer, went to her place and installed leopard. jeff of the mae shi came over and we drank a beer in faiths kitchen and laughed and talked.

we went to dinner at masa, when jeff and the rest of boom bip promptly walked inside, total coincidence. they sat at their own table and jeff came over to chat a couple times. we ate salads with not enough dressing, potato leek soup, and paninis with diet coke.

drove out to the viper room, saw the end of junkie xl's set, waited around for boom bip, dealt, enjoyed boom bips too short set. viper room sucks

went for mexican pastries this morning. someone thinks that to have a blog you have to be full of yourself. this point isn't really worth discussing. also, the instrumental to run to your grave by the mae shi was played during the lions game on thanksgiving.

andy and i are gonna go to the parlor in santa monica, some fancy sports bar to watch celtics v toronto. living in mexico. it's all so. trail off. fluctuating in mind speak. patterns of thinking that fluctuate according to the tides.

the moon's cycles determine the rolling moods and mindsets.

go by the port later

high surf advisory till 3pm, heavy rain after midnight

gonna go for the tour in a bit, then dropped off at union station and meeting up with faith at 3. nutty show tonight, i've been slacking and this is gonna be a jolt.

it's weird how weird i am and how weird you are and how weird everyone is. or is it crazy how crazy how crazy and how crazy everyone is. both.

omg the 11pm news last night was terrible and terrifying. the news now is rough too.

i got a call from a recruiter looking at an old resume of mine who listened intently and then ended the call by telling me the job requires 6 years of experience but that she would keep my resume on file. i graduated 2 and a half years ago. i restrained myself from reminding her of this.

faith is on the phone with the apple people trying to get her laptop fixed. i'm gonna bring mine along, continue to document and catalog. this is a first.

surreal

send a limo.

45

45. the number can apply to any number of things. a record, cost, a weapon.

today was fantastic. we went to mar vista near venice high, hung out at a place that reminded me of pulp fiction, went to sonny mclean's in santa monica for the celtics, drove home through dense fog. i'm wearing my blue yo la tengo shirt. today was really funny, saw a lot of stuff i never see, stuff that made me think.

culture shock, in a big way. little mexican skaters. rims. we drove down the strip on wilshire. i struggle to fathom, hasten to comprehend

train wreck, sugar shack, juicy fruit. leaving the door open, i don't know if the landlord hates me or loves me, loud grime, spongebog, swisher.

i ate apps and corned beef (after reading omnivore's dilemma so much and reading about cows so much i felt like eating beef, which i never do). chris made the best corned beef once.

beeradvocate, firestone double barrel ale, lakers nuggets, ai, printer friendly, hollister staffing, the vice guide to bands.

we'll leave at 8:30

olde new england's curious customs and cures

hung out by the pool today. left with fifteen minutes til noon so that i didnt get sunburned. it's a wonderful 72 degrees right now, cept it might rain sat and sun, but big deal. i'm gonna go to echo park tmrw, and tmrw night is boom bip and junkie xl at viper room. i need to ensure this

i'm of course listening to live wmbr and wzbc out here, streaming online. it's comforting. i think about boston. the smells here are different. everything's different. i haven't seen anything.

when i changed the color scheme it got rid of my analytics tracker, so i have no stats in my report for the last 5 days, but it's not impt, because i know people read this blog. it's just funny.

not to be compulsive.

this room is really funny, with art student stuff, and colors, and bright colors. i imagine i'll take some photos at some point. the pool is fantastic, and i kinda wanna put some sunblock on and go back out. it's just too beautiful today, a day in december. i could use a safety pin

i wanna go watch the celtics at a sports bar at 4pm when they play the 76ers. i think about my friends. i've come to know a bunch of people. come and go. murp lives in chicago now.

this is a record of a time, of a life, of a ____ spent. strange. edge, verge, lip.

unusual, story, tell. look back and

birds of paradise in full bloom. the ice does not get chipped away in boston, the mbta is in debt, the construction is ongoing.

because i don't have to write papers for class any more i don't really care about using the passive voice and the verb to be a lot. i used to write good. well.

think of the. a place in the sun, watched that movie a lot

but still

i'm here in la, playa del rey, with andy and jackie. i'm gonna sleep on a leather couch tonight. weather tells me it's gonna be high of 72 tmrw, which i'm fine with. andy gave me a pillow, can't find the blanket, says that the sleeping bag is f'ed up.

we'll see. don't worry about it. lights out. i don't have my headphones in. tmrw i'm gonna reset andy's router and try to set up a password on it. i'll likely mess it up and have to call tech support.

tonight was fun. we watched basketball, including lakers and usc. good highlights, some of which i saw live. went to the store on the corner. ate french toast. air fresheners. the place here is open air. you go outside your door and you're outside, you're not inside.

here dawn is at 6:16 and sunrise is at 6:43. my birthday is usually on the solstice.

conjecture, speculation.

these things happen/head full of ideas

i'm on the porch. my computer is really slow. it's warm here. i sat by the pool for a while. i got omnivores dilemma by michael pollan at the airport and am 100 pgs in. slept all the way to vegas for the connecting flight, played the slot machines in the airport, got a pretzel, andy showed me around, i met his roommate, and now i gotta go out and get some food.

i'm in playa del rey. i saw the hollywood sign and the smog. andy lives really close to the beach. matt fay told me about a show tmrw night at temple bar in santa monica. it would be funny if andy and i went. there's a fitness center in the building, which is a good sign. forecast says it's gonna get cold but looks like tmrw will be warm.

three hours behind.

flying across the country

flying across the country. waking up before 6 for a 7 48 flight. in los angeles until the 12th. it's a long time. i might buy magazines. omg another emergency alert system monthly test on tv, must be because nstar was messing with our power.

i don't think i want a new tv because then i will get a dvr box and i will start recording again and watching more tv than i do now. it's an interesting decision.

patriots game was incredible tonight. baltimore totally blew it. they couldnt have helped the patriots any more in terms of penalties and mistakes. trying to see if i can see them talk to rodney on sportscenter. was jabar in for other snaps before his td?

i can't find my flipflops, which is tough, but they're lame and black and i should get colorful new ones in LA. this is gonna be such a good trip, i can feel it. there's a pool at andys place, temps in the 70s tmrw. barring interference, i will be getting a tan at 2pm tmrw by andys pool.

gotta take my contacts out, gotta fly with your glasses on. i've got my boarding pass printed out and in my ridiculous carryon. i really hope nothing breaks or explodes in my luggage tmrw. i'm glad i lifted weights today.

oooooh more session tracks from cadence weapon, let's hear em

i'm headed to the inland empire. playa del rey. i also get to see faith in echo park and see boom bip thursday night. does it get any better?

the answer is no, it doesn't get any better. i'm going to california for a full week to see friends -- it's wondrous. anticipate joy.

before i/and oh yeah weezy

a lot of stuff. it's hard. it's not fair. it makes you wanna...but don't. but when. how? i'm not sure. a turn for the...

i have stuff to do today because i am getting on a plane tmrw morning and going away for a while. i know that by the end of the trip i will be ready to go home, so i have to prepare to relax.

it would be good if i kicked things off by going to the gym right now. i found that out and wow and...doesn't even...this/here

there are planes taking off today and tmrw, will they? come on.

but wait, wait for it, fight it out. or, what's the word, not persevere, crap i gotta go look in radical evolution.

being a futurist is great. science fiction becoming non. science stranger than fiction.

i'm not, don't. please. saw gone baby gone last night, it was good, gruesome and too long but good. i need to stop eating movie popcorn.

fill the gap. hands

the snowze alarm

also, it snowed a bunch tonight. take a walk in the park and make a snowball. aim at the lamp. its street cleaning in my neighborhood the next couple of days so i had to park on broadway. i can see my car from my kitchen. this isnt terribly interesting.

a lot of snow, planes delayed? monday? tuesday? monday and tuesday?

i don't care/it doesn't matter/it's not that important

hmm. when i see you by fantasia is an awesome song, i have emily from motivashunal musik to thank for this. also, theres a new song by usher called dat girl right there which is funny too. hmm.

i'll see you when you get back. i'm gone tuesday to wednesday. im gone tue wedthufrisatsunmontuewed. kobe bryant is all sorts of nasty, stating the obvious. please do what you can to see the oop he threw down tonight against the magic. i havent listened to this old cadence weapon album. i heard a new track of his on the mary anne hobbs show -- link to her show and the session (i think you have to download both parts)

you lose some, you lose some

twice in one day. not a good time. i hung out with jeff today and he's ridiculous. many things are ridiculous, jeff included. jeff owes me one, between one and 40. about eight....y-eight. Aggregated Diamond Nanorods, not my material

no, trabajamos. i can't believe these things. i've lived here my whole life. almost. i was in new hampshire and vermont a lot. i wanna go out tonight but i don't wanna go out. jeff always needs a ride, cant we get him a segway? cops on segways are the funniest thing ever. oh wait thats anyone on a segway

but i should get out, otherwise it's gonna be bad. but i don't wanna go to a bar in davis with jake and chris. but i guess i have to? wtf. ok i'll think things over.

there's always tomorrow. there's never today. there's yesterday. checks and balances. bounced checks and remaining balances. balance bay area mixtape king?

the present enters into it. k tunes. more like ryeTunes

the saturday afternoon postage stamp

the saturday afternoon postage stamp. someone left their heels here. a hokie is a turkey. we want boston college to win this came. umass football at 3 15, bc bball at 6, ceatles at noon tmrw, are you serious?

party was awesome last night until it got broken up. i was so happy to have so many friends there, friends from all places and eras.

pat has a projector tv, it's large. roy is in his blog seat. it goes in there. he's gonna go for a half mil.

this lalptop has a busted tilde key, evil design, and lakai limited footwear on it. i still have paint on my arm. the blue paint on my face looked silly. i did get a photo though.

dj from zbc was at the party, cool. phantom? chargers this morning, oh wait and last night, right. right. ridiculous. mc, noc.

windy today, gave people rides home last night. i need to hear stories. i'm glad. a lot of fun. hopefully everything is ok.

k here we go, it's back on. i thought schill pitched well, got in a couple jams, you know i thought early on his fastball split, gettin his curveball over the plate for strikes. etched
