Now that i’m blogging pretty regularly, i’ve stopped having those dreams. Of course, i haven’t been having my flying dreams either. The dream i had last night involved a ferret doing deathly combat with the gopher from Caddyshack while i tried to stay out of their way. Also, someone kidnapped God. That wasn’t really too important, though. I think i found him towards the end.

Aimee Mann is the only voice i want to hear right now. I couldn’t convince Amy or Renata to put her on last night at their house, but i did lie down on the kitchen floor and get tangled in some shrubbery, so the night wasn’t a total bust. Except when i got locked in their bathroom. That was a little disturbing…

No more cheddar ramen, ever. I’ve been doing some pretty shitty sounding trios, and it’s starting to bother me. It makes me seem like some self-important un-talented fuck who is pretentious enough to think that people care to listen to him sing out of key. But i’m not, really. It’s just that without a dorm full of friends to play a few songs for every week i am rapidly leaving my guitar on the sidelines, and this allows me to do a little performance. Furthermore, i can’t play the same song all the time, because it would get boring, so it’s incentive for me to keep working on new songs that i would typically ditch in favour of another repetition of “Crashing.” And, finally, keep in mind that i’m just recording through the teeny mic in my computer, and that i’m doing a live take with no stops or pickups. You might point out that doing a concert is at least that hard, but for me playing in front of people is the most comforting thing in the world. Being alone in this room with the computer… now that’s intimidating.

I’m eating this extremely bizaar cheddar cheese cup ‘o Ramen. I thought it was going to be ramen mac’n’cheese, but it’s just cheddar cheese soup. Very disturbing. I’m so hungry… also, i think Matt might have died or fallen asleep in the middle of a highway, because no one has heard from him in over 24 hours. While this is slightly upsetting, it does mean that i get to keep his electric guitar tuner, so i think i’m okay with it.

I love torrez! I either read his log and find myself feeling exactly what he says or laughing out loud. And sometimes both.
