Clay and I went to the Napa Battle of the Bands last night and there were good bands and great bands and gosh darn that Magnanimous with the cartoon voice was cool. Body or Brain won, because they are the awesomest, and the Helen Kellers sound so much better in real life than they do on MySpace, and they sounds pretty amazing on there, too!

It is the beginning of the summer, and that means afternoon naps in the sunshine and picnics on the beach and waterfights with squirty water bottles I cannot wait!

I hate history. I know what happens. I shout at them to do the right thing, but they screw it all up anyways and theres nothing I can do about it and I have to live with the mistakes they made. Old newspaper articles are pretty bad, I think. I found some early articles about AIDS in the NY Times, looks like this:

OUTLOOK ON AIDS IS TERMED BLEAK

A DEFENSE AGAINST NO DEFENSE

NEW HOMOSEXUAL DISORDER WORRIES HEALTH OFFICIALS

CASES OF AIDS IN CITY INCREASE AT SLOWER RATE THAN WAS PREDICTED

HOMOSEXUALS FIND A NEED TO REASSESS

AIDS RISK HELD SLIGHT FOR THOSE ON TRANSFUSIONS

INFANT WHO RECEIVES TRANSFUSION DIES OF IMMUNE DEFICIENCY ILLNESS

DISEASE STIRS FEARS ON BLOOD SUPPLY

and reading them upsets me in much the same but still slightly different way to the articles on global warming with people sitting back and thinking aloud “hm, this isnt looking so great.” You’re Doing It All Wrong. Hate history. HATE IT.

yesterday
thrice i saw three crows whilst walking through the park, and i am pretty sure three dead crows are a sign of impending apocalypse, so because they were alive i think maybe it is a sign of the opposite of that? a new world, rebirth, a time of creation and all that. i probably get too excited about crows, but it was one of those things that should have been ordinary, but for whatever reason just really stood out to me. so anyways, good luck with the anti-apocalypse, everybody!

Stephen King is a sick and twisted man. The Mist is not a movie i need to ever see again.
happy new year, thank you and goodnight.

Old enough to go to all the shows! Went to see Mantasy last night, which was fun even though I missed Mantasy themselves playing their magical instruments. Still managed to hear the first band, who were… remarkably forgettable.

Oh, and cake, of course.
Lots and lots of cake
(in the sink)

Also, a list!
Things I Would Like To Do:
- go vegan! ish!
- go to school!
- stop going to school.
- go to SCOTLAND
- get a drivers license

Yeah, that is enough ambition for now.

Oh wait but also the young adults retreat again in august because i cant pass up an opportunity to learn from the spirit rock teachers and reconnect with old friends and practice qigong with teja and meditate with a whole bunch of other weirdo hippies for a week. There is just so much good at spirit rock, i cant wait to go back!

(thanks!)

christmas packs a mean punch. i hurt all over.

wondering what to put on this here wonderful little nook of t’interweb that andrew so beautifully put together for me…

- 365 photo challenge? except i will get bored and i will not have 365 photos.
- notebook scratches? i write in notebook, i can write on computer? am i right? would that be interesting to anybody but me? hmmm unlikely.
- carefully crafted compositions designed to inform and amuse the reader. trouble with this one being that i like to think i have better things to do.

probably there will be pieces all of these, or none of them, who could know? certainly not i.
