i'm bored. it's one of those summer saturdays where i wish i was out of the city, at some cottage by some lake... playing guitar and drinking beer.

the pressure of this city is weighing on me more and more lately. thinking of living part time somewhere else. have a new side project that is just in the opening steps of starting up... we're writing right now and demoing tunes. i'll keep you posted as it goes along, but i'm excited about it.

all the same, i just can't wake up today. sleepy and heady.

doing demos for a new side project... very excited about this. :) i think i've found my formula for good vocal sessions.... sing a few takes, watch a movie, sing a few more takes.... feels good, more relaxed then. trying to get tori amos tickets, been trying in general to go to more concerts in town these days. t is working on the ticket situation for me at the moment. apparently i've made a scrabble-addict out of my brother, though he appeared to have hated it when we played together.

i got noam chomsky's manufacturing consent from Queen Video the other day but couldn't stay focused through it...i really wanted to get into it but found myself drifting. maybe it was my mood that day...

crushed shoulder to shoulder heat moist people booing giraffe!

it's either caffeine or alcohol these days.... weddings, graduations, family visits... things will settle down in another week or so... then i'll probably be a little shell shocked.

still writing tunes though.
