Things that bother us.

 
  • A huge fucking moth just flew into the living room.

  • my PC's dead and I'm stealing the neighbor's wireless signals from my patio off my mom's laptop. And I'm still posting! that's dedication.

  • My apartment must have 50 stinkbugs in it, fucking gross

  • My jazz director won't let us perform anything more modern than Mingus.

  • Then you all ought to be working on some absolutely earth shattering reconceptions of Meditation (On a Pare of Wire Clippers), Fables of Faubus, and Cumbia & Jazz Fusion. All three of those have huge sections where you can just go ooooouuuuuutttttt. C'mon would Knepper have flinched?

  • Hey, I'm doing my part. I was the only person in the band who knew Willie Dennis, among many others. We did a boss version of Haitian Fight Song (more like II B.S., tempo-wise) last term, but the first chart he gave us today was the original transcription "Flyin' Home" by Benny Goodman and Lionel Hampton, Illinois Jacquet solo and all. Then he handed out some boring arrangement of "Body and Soul."

    He did, however, say that if I can find an arrangement of something by the Brotherhood of Breath, he'll have us perform it. I'm sure that'll be easy. I'll try to convince to get a "Fables" score. That'd be fun as all hell.

  • I just tried searching for Sun Ra scores, but all I can find are These scrawled scores from the Library of Congress, of all places.

    I saw a dead rat on the sidewalk while going to work this morning. Further emphasizing my theory that Chicago has a massive rat problem that no one talks about.

  • Most of the group goes to bed as soon as I wake up. I'm so ronery.

  • not me. I live at night.

  • I don't sleep anymore. I would really like to be asleep right now, but I've got poli sci homework and a paper due tomorrow, both of which I am cruelly too tired to concentrate on. Also I'm djing. And i think I'm going to abandon my shift at 2 tonight because I really haven't gotten more than 3-5 hours a sleep a night in like a week and a half, at least.

    That was then, this is dumb.
  • Feel slightly better, marred only by having to work from 6am this morning. Bah. Stay unemployed, St Dio.

  • with luck....with luck...

  • My roommate said I could get a job at the restaurant he works at since I know the manager but I'm holding out for a grown-up job.

    If I stop posting one day it's because I'm living in a trash heap somewhere and writing a lap-crushing post-modern novel on a stolen laptop.

  • if only freelance journalism paid...

  • It does matey. They just pay very, very slowly.

  • If any Austinites want to find me a month from now when half the country is living in Hoovervilles, just look for a Drag rat selling weed to frat kids near the Church of Scientology. I'll probably be wearing a really ironic (and stained) t-shirt and, if I'm lucky, have one of those dogs that bums on the Drag all have.

  • I have 164 cached tracks right now.

  • Found people talking about Tocar4st 7lb on a pro-ana website. Went into a blind rage.... that's not the point of the song you malnutritioned whores.

    Actually, the whole pro-ana movement in general gets me pretty annoyed.

    Yeah, it's sick. I feel really sorry for anyone who gets involved in that.

  • I just bought some Nike Air Jordans from a company claiming to be based in the US, but they turned out to be Chinese, and the shoes were cheap knock-offs. It's not the principle of it so much as the dodgy craftsmanship. They never train these kids properly - they've painted over the base of the shoe onto the fabric...it's as if they never even used a colouring book before.

    Anyhoo, in my search for some replacements, I came across these: Nike Dunk Pee Wee Hermans. I just can't believe they exist.



  • You know What Really Grinds My Gears? This endless stream of public holidays that everyone seems to know about except me. I went all the way to the gym to find it closed. "What are you doing here today?" asked the security guard. "Don't you know it's All Saints Day? HAHAHAHAHAH." Tits.

  • i hear ya fella, screw public holidays

    especially during weekends. where the hell am I suppose to buy a beer?

  • I really really hate it when my ipod doesn't scrobble.

    That was then, this is dumb.
