1 - I'm really happy that Lost is back on.
2 - I ran a red light in front of a cop today and nothing happened.
3 - Now that I don't go to American Music out here anymore, I find myself wondering after going to the other three music stores here: Does anyone actually ever buy those ugly celestial paisley guitar straps?! How can there be not a single suitable guitar strap in three music stores?! (And yes, this does mean I am officially making guitar straps again. I'll let you know when they go up for sale and this time I'm making them from scratch out of higher quality materials, suckaz!)
4 - While I'm ranting about music stores, I think Mills Music's idea of a "MASSIVE GUITAR & BASS AMP SALE" (imagine my eyes widening as I drove up) is hilarious considering that they carry approximately six amplifiers in the store (imagine my heart sinking as I walked in), all of the bedroom practice variety (that is, tiny and maybe 20 watts if you're lucky).
5 - Last of the music store rants for today: When your store's bass specialist is recommending to me what Tall Chris refers to as "basses that look like a diseased penis" to play loud rock music, I stop trusting his taste in amplifiers. And besides, I don't think I want the sportscar. Those aren't any more versatile than the freight train. I want the freight train!
6 - My life is full of girls lately between the video, cosmetology school and the new band. It's like I'm making up for all that time I didn't know how to hang out with girls. It's kind of cool.
7 - Gratitude for being friends with a good handful of great dudes completely and definitely outweighs disappointment from that built-in want that still doesn't get fed.
8 - About that video, it's making me remember how much I love busking.
9 - About that new band, playing good music loud with Meghan and Valerie is probably my favorite thing since the best day/night I've ever had (the one when I drove home afterwards thinking I'd die in a car crash because I was too happy to still be alive).
10 - I'm busy enough now that even three-day weekends aren't enough time to get everything done that should be getting done over the weekend. Shit.

Only dumb boys think I'm clever.
WTF, estrogen, WTF?! Weirdest PMS ever! I've felt like a cartoon character all day!
Today's dumb story is about how this guy selling me a bass kept trying to ask me out and I still don't know how to be dishonest or mean so now the ghost of guitar wankers past might show up at KTUB later. Shit. Meanwhile, I drove home with my new bass wanting to cry and take, like, 10 showers because I only like one boy, and until I get to yell the specifics of that from an internet hilltop without it being weird, I can at least yell that it's not the longhaired dude in the leather vest and white collared shirt. I had really good self esteem until only gross dudes ever showed any interest, just like I liked the word beautiful until only pervy dudes ever used it.
The night got better, though. Prattular made me laugh a ton and then I bought a Slurpee in Iron Man's helmet and played Final Fantasy. I've basically been laughing all night and I'm finally tired. I'm also doing a terrible job gearing up for being on a grown-up's schedule. I'll have to work on that.

I like to eat Cheerios.
Nerds go here and scroll down. How did I not hear about this until a month later? Take a ch-chance.
I really like Bellingham quite a lot. I played a show there the other night and it was fun. There were nice people, and for some reason Aaron at Fantasia was like, "Can you play for an hour?" and I was like, "Sure!" I've never played an hour-long set before. I have more than enough songs to, it's just that I've never done it. The occasion's never come up. I slept well afterwards. Oh, and beforehand at the open mic, Valerie tap danced and played ukulele and sang and it was pretty much the greatest thing ever.
I'm playing another acoustic show on Wednesday, and I really hope people come to it, 'cause I love when there are people at the shows. Otherwise it's awkward, y'know? Plus, Lesli Wood and Like Claws! will be playing music too!
And then Friday Shook Ones and Like Claws! are at KTUB! YAY!
Looks like there won't be a California trek before classes start for me, but I still feel like going somewhere all the time. I almost want to make an extra resolution for 2008, though, about not traveling alone for a little while. I feel like I've done so much of it that I don't even know what it's like to be with people anymore... Let's go on adventures!
