Half-handed Cloud

I don’t think I’ve mentioned I’m getting into Half-handed Cloud a lot lately. http://half-handedcloud.bandcamp.com/ Their song “Feed Your Sheep a Burning Lamp” is my favorite song of late. Feed your sheep a burning lamp Feed you lamb a course on herding Feed your goat to feed the fire Goats are fuel for fires burning Goats… Read More »

bandcamp

I wrote a letter to my friend R in New York and have been listening to music on bandcamp. Right now I’m hearing some Chris Clavin songs about mental illness. http://chrisclavin.bandcamp.com/album/for-the-ignored-demo-versions

Violator

When I was a kid I liked Depeche Mode’s album Violator. And I had it, but it got all scratched up. So I got it out from the library today after waiting months–I was 15th in line or something like that. So now I can hear it again.

prayer

Tonight I went to an open mic at Mondo Bizzaro. I was invited by my friend A, the one I saw last night too. She’s in town for a short time only. She’s driving home thought the night. I hope she’s safe. Erik and I are working hard on our respective scoring projects. I’m being… Read More »

But when I cooked some up, I thought they looked like little jellyfish. We had them with garlic, olive oil, and fresh basil the first time. The second… Read More »

Today there’s no hot water. I called the property management company and got an answer. Someone answered the phone! I just about peed my pants with surprise. The worker said she’d send someone right out. Haven’t seen anyone. Erik was taking out the trash and talked with a neighbor who said he didn’t have hot… Read More »

pickle power

This morning I was remembering this type of sandwich I would eat when I was a college student. I would eat pickle sandwiches with parmesan cheese and jar garlic. What the heck was I thinking? So I put a sliced pickle in my tofurky sandwich for lunch, and it brought back the memory more. I… Read More »

ambitions

Today I wrote a letter to my friend J who lives in Minnesota–I wrote the letter on that nice stripey paper. I finished it at the park, where it wasn’t too crowded though it’s quite warm this weekend. Tomorrow we help friends move, and Erik will do taxes. North Carolina is almost done. I think… Read More »
