I saw Selina today. Only for a handful of minutes… i gave her a too-expensive digital video tape from last semester to use for her class. She’s in the same class that lead me to ponder how a close-up view of someones face is totally different from watching them from afar. Yeah. Anyhow, it’d been over two weeks since i saw Selina at all, and that’s a long time. Today felt right, though. We spoke as friends, we made irrelevant commentary on things, and we both had a smile on our face. Afterwards i had my first voice lesson. It all felt right.

SavvyMel on my recent trends of songwriting: “Well, after one’s suffered like…masses of depression you’re suddenly flung into a realm of euphoria or so I’ve observed. But this is freaking cool because you’re peppy songs are turning out to be great ventures of musical experience.”


Um, Mel, was that a compliment?

I drew a picture of your face, but it wasn’t so big that i could not erase it. But I thought about getting it tattooed, but that would have been a mistake, more like something you would do. I see your body every night in my dreams; it’s not as unlikely as it seems, ’cause i still think about it nearly every single day. But usually my head gets right in the way. I don’t think this means i’m over you. I don’t think this means i’m over you. I thought about calling once or twice, but i don’t think that would’ve been very nice. You would’ve thought that it meant something more, and it wouldn’t have meant anything like what it meant before. I don’t think this means i’m over you. I don’t think this means i’m over you. I have our memories set up on repeat, but telling you that doesn’t seem to be discrete. Just know that i don’t plan to forget … but i’m not coming back to you. Yet. I don’t think this means i’m over you. I don’t think this means i’m over you.

While hanging out (again) with Kathe today she was working on a website for our Campus Activities Board and had forgotten to bring cds to the office with her. Of course, I came to the rescue fresh out of an incredibly dull mixing session in the recording studio, and proceeded to play the following for well over two hours: Lost Out, Punk, Deadweight, Inadequacy Song, Five Minutes, Touch, Afterglow, Falling Down, Hold On Me, Will It Ever Come?, All That’s True, A Long Time Since, Splinter, Under My Skin, Other Plans, Gravel, Both Hands, Tear In Your Hand, Never Say Goodbye, No Second Chance, World In My Hand, Typical, More Than That, Resolve, Relief, Revirginized Honey, Nothing To Say, Hide Your Eyes, Give, Burn, Make Sense, & Bridge. Yeah, that’s a lot of songs, and one or two were even omitted for time’s sake, if you could imagine. If it had been a real concert, intermission would have started after “Never Say Goodbye,” and the encore began the very rare (not played once in all of 2000) “Hide Your Eyes.” Lyrics to everything except the three covers can be grabbed from AMkitchen‘s lyric page. So… i’m all guitar-ed out for the day; my fingers are all frayed and dented and my voice is in nearly the same condition, although that tends to yield more fun results than numbed-out fingertips. Bed-time quickly approached.

If, when you sit down to start mixing your demo cd, you nearly pass out and proceedingly recall that you haven’t eaten anything that most people would consider to be a meal in well over 24hours, that typically is when you should leave the recording studio. It helps if you just nailed your last track, tho…
