elliott smith is dead.

sigh. fuck. this is very lame.... my heart goes out to his friends and family...

i remember seeing him play in a small coffeeshop at the first macrock festival... i guess it was back in '96 or '97... just him and his guitar... it was unbelievable... afterwards, i went up to him to say hi and asked him if he would give me his set list, and he did...

so goodbye, elliott... thanks for all the great music...

rantmodego

i don't know which is worse: a grown man fully dressed in a button-down shirt and slacks but wearing flip-flops, or a man in a shirt and tie wearing shorts and flip-flops... actually, it doesn't matter. any man over the age of twelve who isn't actually at the beach should not, i repeat _not_ be wearing flip-flops...

and so i have proclaimed it...

lazy saturday post

got back from richmond at about 3am... superchunk played an absolutely brilliant set, with a lot of choice older (no pocky/on the mouth-era) songs... plus "slack motherfucker" as an encore... sweet... i didn't realize until last night the i've been going to see superchunk longer than any other band that's still together right now... man, i feel old... fun fuckin show...

work soon... i need to find a better job...

time for the almighty rock...

well... now i have post titles... all hail me...

anyway, the educational angst was rather unnecessary... i passed the written exam fairly well (i did better than i thought), and i'm certainly not in any danger of failing the class... i've still got at least a b, and definitely an a if i stop fucking around.

superchunk tonight... w00t... it'll be good to hang out with meesh and matt, and scope all the rva hotness... too bad i don't have a car, i'd go up there on a regular basis...

well. screwed the pooch bigtime on the exam... okay, maybe not that badly, but i couldn't remember any katakana to save my freakin' life... i couldn't even remember how to write my bloody name!!! ah well, i can still salvage the grade... i just have to be dead perfect on everything else for the rest of the semester... eesh...

weeeellll... i was gonna muck around with the look of this thing, but i don't really fuckin' feel like it now... so there. track frame's finally here, now i just gotta get the wheels built and get the whole thing put together so i can ride the damn thing before it gets too cold.

superchunk's friday, alleykatz again, w00t. plus matt gets to come too, he finally gets to have some fun, poor guy...

crystal seem to not be into me too much this month, and aura's moving back to connecticut soon (sigh...)

alright, that's enough...
