Watermelon nights are erasing all the teardrops on your face.

This week's been iffy (except for the acquisition of Wii Fit!), but yesterday definitely compensated:

Started working on the guitar straps, and I can't tell you how much cooler they are turning out for me doing them from scratch rather than embellishing the pre-made kind. I found hardware and really cute textiles. Say goodbye to bunniesxo and hello to the Hypomanic Empire.

Last night I got to see some great friends and excellent bands. After BOAT (and the Young Sportsmen - How have I not seen them before? They're so good!) at KTUB, I headed to Fremont just in time to catch Tennis Pro. During the set, some grown woman thought I was married to Phil, so I accidentally convinced her that he was my dad instead (My words were, "No, he's like my dad," but I think she heard, "No, he's, like, my dad."). After the set she told me my dad had done a good job and "that guitar guy is hellacute." Thank you, High Dive.

Today's highlight so far has been discovering that the UW has an undergrad program for neurobiology. YES!!!!

I'll try to squeeze a drop of blood from a sugarcube.

My heart hurts. It could be any number of things. For example:

+ I got a MySpace message from Ted Leo! Neat!
+ There was a party for Jack and Erika! Friends and sugarcubes have never been so surreal!
+ I've found suitable replacements for the red Keds I had to throw away in the UK! Yeah!
+ There's a theory that the female orgasm might function as part of a selective fertilization process. Though this might sound terribly facetious, I think it's the sweetest thing I've ever heard on the matter.
+ At 3:39pm today, I was certain of something all the way down into my bones. That's pretty rare for me, and this time it was really comforting.
- Phil was attacked?
- Bidding mysteriously ended four days early on the ancient Gallien Krueger 400b I was totally going to win on eBay.
- Someone I'm supposed to respect used the non-word "irregardless" while other people I probably should respect out of courtesy didn't even flinch.
- Everything sounds terrible with noise reduction on, but everything sounds noisy with noise reduction off.
