it's already been broughten [17 Apr 2006|05:40pm] [ mood | excited ] Jenny Lewis totally brings it: Link: Jenny Lewis on Sound Opinions ( more excitement ) 11 comments|post comment

[13 Apr 2006|03:02pm] [ mood | uncomfortable ] [ music | the mountain goats, bitter melon farm ] i'm feeling like a hermit more and more lately, because life seems easier when it's just me and wrigs and my roomies, when hanging out is spontaneous and nothing is planned except for the fact that i have a lot of work to do. ( there have just been a lot of communication errors in many different segments of my life lately ) 3 comments|post comment

[06 Apr 2006|12:39am] [ music | I Go To The Barn Because I Like The - Band Of Horses ] Hi. Yeah, I don't know what to do (or how to predict) when the urge makes me want to post again here either. ( listy and linky ) 7 comments|post comment

the immygraytion man [29 Mar 2006|12:28pm] How come France is front page in the Oregonian, but I only heard about the massive student protesting here in the States because I have a fascination with listening to community radio during pledge drives? I'll fully admit that I am not as informed as I should be, but still. Oh, and immigration laws suck. Simplistic? Yes. Just as much as lines on a map making you illegal. 5 comments|post comment

i know me stuff and i'm smart enough [17 Mar 2006|09:15am] Okay Portland, I'ma take a stand on this transit stupidity. WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU THINKING? The transit here WORKS. You've already got a goddamn (kinda ludicrously redundant, but anyway) streetcar that goes to PSU. And buses. Why does the light rail have to go there too? OH RIGHT IT DOESNT. Have you ever been to Chicago? I have! And guess what sucks? ( besides the blackhawks ) 27 comments|post comment

march madness [13 Mar 2006|01:16pm] hey so, remember last year when i almost won $400? lemme know if you're interested in being in the pool this year.

Holy shit, yet again. [26 Feb 2006|12:08am] [ mood | numb ] "Diary-X has suffered from an unrecoverable drive failure. Due to a combination of issues, the last backup (from December 2004) contained only configuration files and other non-essential files. We do not have any other backups for the site. All journals, user information, forum posts, templates, images, and everything else are all irrecoverably lost." For those of you who just met me this year, my first online journal (that was not hand coded on geocities of all places)--from about 2000 until only a few months ago--was on diary-x. It was the journal I kept the most, the one I kept the best. I locked it a few months ago, but I could still read it, of course. ( more d-x musings )

dealing with that (in the pacific time zone) [20 Feb 2006|11:09pm] [ mood | sleepy but moving ] [ music | the two songs by the online romance that i have, on repeat ] So it turns out that I am going through a personal transformation over here. Again? You might ask. But this time I have something to show for it. And I feel like this is a big secret i've been keeping to myself the past week or so. So yeah, I got this email about an hour ago: ( Thanks for your submission...please bring your work in.... )

no more myspace, and we would all write letters again [12 Feb 2006|08:28pm] Breaking the LJ silence because so many of you that post on here used to post on diary-x. Have you hit it up lately? As in today? holy fuck. seriously. Combined with the fact that flickr was down for emergency maintenance the day after their two year anniversary, it makes me wonder. what if all the hard drives failed? like, all of them. like someone threw a party and the browsers had nowhere to go. (i wish i had downloaded that damn diary-x backup file when i decided to lock it up) 9 comments|post comment

i played videogames in a drunken haze [23 Jan 2006|01:06am] [ mood | sleepy ] [ music | broom people--the mountain goats ] this is the album that makes me realize that i want to do more, do more i want a guitar and me and words and you every one ******* i was going to write an explanation for the new lockdown, but then i realized i kinda did. suffice to say, i want to leave LJ again, and it isn't to be dramatic or to avoid or to whatever. really i just wanted to finally/fully decide, and i know i would never fully decide to stay. i left up the saxamaphone and geetar posts, in case anyone wants to help me out. i'll be around for commenting, maybe with a new name so i can friend the people i read all the time, as a time saving gesture, and to just post on what i'm up to. then again, if i am posting comments then i am reading and still around, so...who knows. be well.

[22 Jan 2006|11:52pm] [ music | Viva La Persistence - Kimya Dawson ] try again! buy my geetar! http://chicago.craigslist.org/msg/127654284.html

Why did I bring all this crap, and leave instruments behind? [20 Jan 2006|12:25am] [ mood | sleepy, oddly ] [ music | Maybe You Can Owe Me - Architecture In Helsinki ] Okay, so I have an audition for the old people marching band, which makes me 86904 kinds of excited. the problem is that my saxamaphone lives in chicago still, and i'm not about to ask jamey1138 to send it, for many reasons. So, Portland peeps: any recommendations on where to rent a Tenor Sax from, for a short period of time? Or do you know anyone who could lend me one? The audition is on February 7th. Also, I recommend against jet lag, as I went to bed at 7am and slept until 6pm. Ooops. Too bad i've been up for 6 hours and gotten nothing done--double oops. Stupid internets.

THIS is why I am freaking out, people [27 Mar 2005|10:27pm] From the blog of the NCAA pool I am part of: "Jim W. continues his dominance to this point and has pulled 45 points in front of 2nd-place Chris Timberlake. Jim gets $10 for winning yet another round. Jim also has a 50% chance of winning the pool, which really isn't high enough actually considering how dominant he's been. His right half of the bracket was nearly flawless, and his was 1 of only 2 brackets with Michigan State in the Final 4 (props to Jonathan Hawkins for being the other). However, Jim's pick of Louisville to win it all has put him in the position of still possibly not even making the top 5. Jim still needs Louisville to beat Illinois in order to win the pool, unless Illinois were to end up losing to Michigan State in the final. (see the what-ifs discussion below)." Can you see why I am excited? I just posted this as a comment in the blog for the pool: You know, maybe people are wondering. I didn't pick Illinois on principle, for one reason that I have contended all along (ask Sammy): Illinois chokes. And if that fundamental truth is why I lose? I'm okay with that. So really, I am the biggest State fan on the planet right now, eh? An all Big Ten final would be really, really weird. 2 comments|post comment
