Current mood: Is the word "complacent" effective in describing totally stiff from sitting in this chair all afternoon?
Current music: I think it's the One AM Radio thing from 3hive. When I imported it it only called it "Track 03" like I love it to...
So, a lot of good things have happened today... first off, I slept in a little and still managed to make it to math on time... but they didn't take the recycling, I guess because I put it on the wrong side of the street, but I've done that before, and they've taken it. Maybe it was too stuffed. Maybe they just didn' see it. Oh well...
Then at math, found out that Erin Mac and I got 60 out of 50 on our project and I've got 139 points out of 100, so I'd be surprised if I got anything but an A. Granted it is really hard to stay in those hard ass chairs all morning, but at least he's amusing. The t-shirt today said "5 out of 4 people have a problem with fractions."
Then, got some food from TJ's with Erin's hook up, then came home to my new fancy schmancy wireless ipod remote, which is water resistant, works 150ft away and through walls! Stoked. And, it doesn't look like it needs replacement batteries at all.. w00t!
Then, I got to the nitty gritty and finally finished that stinkin' balloon toss article, or something of the sort. I could have gone all at it a long time ago and come up with something much better, but what I came up with was, hopefully, sufficient. We'll find out tomorrow. Then, I did a little photo dealy for the web, with the flash component and audio, although it kinda sounds like someone's cussing, but I guess it doesn't really matter. Here, look and see if they sound like they're cussing too...
Then, I got more picx up on stillsight, and put some audio in the NYC and b&w galleries. Neato.
Now, math.

Where are you?
I've been missing the one person who made this move to CA so easy, and still so difficult...
The monstrosity of a soul, the kindest and softest and bestest friend I had at the time has all but disappeared from my life, and lately I've been thinking about him so much- the angst I feel knowing that he's in some kind of wierd situation that only confuses me more...
Ivey- WHERE ARE YOU??
I used to get rare phone calls from him, in hushed voices, hiding behind some stack of pallets at a warehouse, using the phone that he knew she couldn't trace his calls from... Not much would be said, but Yes, I'm alive. Yes, I'm still here, barely hanging on. It would last all of two minutes and "shit gotta go", click...
I hope he's not lying dead in some gutter with bruised eyes from her lashings and a bruised heart from her abuse. If he'd only move out here, dammit get away from the Land of Entrapment and start new, in the golden gate, knowing nobody but me, and all those other NM fools who now live in the 415.
If there were any way I could convince him to move out here, damn that would be nice. My best friend would be around me, someone who supported me wholeheartedly, and he'd be loved in a way he'd find shocking because I'm not his family and I'm not his devil. I can only dream, and hope that at some point he'll be by my side again, and I can take care of him like he deserves to be befriended.
Dammit Ivey. Get a grip, and losen hers on you.

Yo.
Firefox has been crashing on me... seems to happen when I've got 3 or so tabs open, and one has a flash thing on it- but if I stop the page from loading or see the beachball, then I know it's about to quit... lame.
But this guy is my new hero, of course. !!!
So what's been going on today- well I wrote Laurence back and told him desolee for lying about being available for the Waifs show, it turns out that's when I've got that class intensive in San Fran that weekend, so won't be making it back to do lights in SC before going out at noon the next day in the city. Don't think so.
I also got on the ball about the union payroll, the last check never being sent to me- and spoke with a few people about it, so I shoud be getting paid for that one by Friday, even though it was over a month ago that I did the gig... I think that was the last one, for the 611, cuz I told them NO today for a late night load-out of the Blues fest in Monterey on Sunday night. I'd much rather chill and be a lazy bastard than not get to bed until 3 am and have to be at school the next morning. It's tough enough staying awake in there, less with no sleep. Eh, whatever- besides that excuse I just didn't want to work the load out. Ugh.
SO yeah. Lame myspace profile is up. Freaks are on there, that's for damn sure.
Wow, blogger's killing me!
Eek.

monday
Whoooof. I'm beat Don't really know why, other than just ... am. It was a long weekend, a good one, too- the Russian River Blues Festival was... fun, but I guess I could have enjoyed myself a little better if I'd had a friend or two with me or a gallon of narcotics- just kidding... no, it was another music festival, with lots of people and mullets to make fun of, lots of expensive and cheaply made schwag, lots of loud bands and harsh mixes, but hanging out at the monitor booth backstage was the best spot... I liked Earl Thomas the best- he made the festival great for me- it was awesome the little stage instead of the big one, the intimacy, the drunken yuppies on wine, his flare, his voice... nice.
Now, it's math math math and packing packing packing for the next month, then things shift majorly. Should be sweet. The math teach seems like an amusing guy enough, the way he explains things is a bit too fast but at least he's realistic and to the point about how algebra won't help you unless you need it to- otherwise if I don't fall asleep in there every morning it shouldn't be too awful...
I just want to play!

Lhasa & La Llorona
I just got home from doing lights at the Rio, it felt like it'd been years since I'd been there! They put in a different board, this one from Ed of Craft- but for a Leprachon it was rather decent to use, but I'd prefer the submasters to be on the bottom of the board, makes for easier use- but of course manually is the old fashioned way and programming scenes would be more up to date... anyway, it was a great show, one of the better, lighting wise- and because it was only half full and really incredible vocals and musicianship I felt like I was witnessing something ... for lack of a better word... special. It was cool... tous en francais, c'etait tres interessante ecouter la langue au travail, et ca donne-moi une situation a pratiquer d'avoir peur... je suis tres peur... pourquoi- ca gaze...
SO- if you ever get a chance to check her out, do it... : LHASA
...And she also has an album called "La Llorona" which is ironic. For some reason La Llorona's been coming up in my life lately... the old folklore of a ghost carrying off children from the arroyo at night...
this is a rather good site explaining the different sides behind her story... in a more ... modern sense. Well worth checking out. Actually it's well worth making a link on the sidebar here as well...
Fascinating.

missing nm
you know i'm really a raver at heart, right? this photo- taken by celeste- even though i don't recall meeting her, i'm sure i have at one point ... 
she most likely was once friends with kieran and i know we had similar people in common knowledge... anyway- her photos of junebug and listening to this mix on proton radio is really making me miss my old days of being a dust bunny and desert bass freak- if only CA had things like this going on, I'd be really at home...
well... time to go learn to ride a bike. again.

or something near close to it...

manu chao
Friday. 10th June. I'm glad I found the Manu Chao cd, it's great- for some box packing and clothes purging music, it seems to work. So last night M and I rode our bikes down to the yacht harbor and had a beer at the Crow's Nest beach party looking for her friends- and wandered around, ate some nachos and had some Boont and they finally showed up, the noise volume increasing incrementally as the evening bore on, and we ended up barely paying anything for the drinks, they just kept coming...
I thought I'd get used to being in a loud bar environment, don't think I ever will. There's nothing much I enjoy about it, except for the fact that being with M and how she knows every partier and his mom because of Cloud's gets us tons of attention, it's nice... although shouting over everything and trying to not feel like a boy next to all the girly girly girls who spend hours high pitched whining and makeup preparation to go somewhere like this... it's one of the nicer places and we gave props to the trumpet player for lickin' her chops up there with a bunch of boys.
Summer's moving along- only a week until math class- I don' t think I'll bother with a parking permit, maybe as time goes on I'll see just how busy parkin on the street will be and then I'll pop for it if I really care. that'd be cool if jules took chem, we could have cawfee on our breaks together.
And moving is coming closer too. I talked again with johan and think even more that I lucked out - whatever my dad has to say about it, I understand but can't blame him for being dad, but then again, if it feels right and seems right and is worth a try, why the heck not. And NO I'm not going to get a GUN. Me, firing a gun? Sure, that'd be fun, but me having one? Owning one? Keeping one under my pillow, in a bedside drawer? Yeah right.
What was it my mom said? Get a tiny one and fire it to light my cigarette? Hah.
Things to do: purge stuff. Have a garage sale, this weekend, maybe? Another in July. Send off transcript requests- walk in to a counseling appt. at City, figure out life.
Today- dunno. More photo gallery perfection?
