best band ever
in the studio today all day. currently drums are being tuned… not my bag, baby. haha
but it serves a purpose, so i’ll live. i think things will go quickly once we get rolling. its the set up that sucks. more to come later… stay tuned to the Let Me Run facebook page and twitter for more info.
good new is, btw, for the next two days we are 4 blocks from benny tudinos. epic win.
i am twenty-four years old. really.
last thursday i turned 24. it didn’t really hit me until now, but i’m almost a quarter of a century old. WHAT AM I DOING WITH MY LIFE?! i don’t know, but i know it involves books, gross amounts of money, a volvo and scarves. we probably won’t get results for a few years still, but - gross amounts of money excluded - it sounds like a recipe for something amazing. and i hope to be at least on the first step by the time i’m 25.
which leads me to the point (?) of this entry: my blog has a new redefined purpose. instead of reblogged photos of dogs and horses from allcreatures i will have content AND reblogged photos of dogs and horses from allcreatures. for real, i would like you, er, readers to share this otherwise socially un-accepted year - 24 - with me! what do you have to look forward to? lots!:
+ trying out things i vowed i’d never try again! (music, movies, books, etc.)
+ excruciating detailed updates of my job search!
+ excruciating detailed updates of my MA thesis!
+my travails of getting in an MLIS program!
+ my ever growing list of people i think are punk rock! written down for the first time! told to someone other than dan!
+ and much, much more!
i’m serious. 24 is totally depressing when you think about it. i want to make it less depressing and possibly the best year ever. and it’s all going to be recorded here for your viewing pleasure!
to like the 4 people who actually follow this thing, start to follow ali. she’s amazing. so much smarter than me and way more clever to boot. and, for the record i like the picture the MOST when its our dog (otis) in the pictures… and i think you’ll all agree with me. he is the f**king greatest.

i was supposed to go into the studio today...
and the session got cancelled for the day which is a total bummer. instead, i’ll be headed there bright and early tomorrow. i’m looking foreword to it for sure. i always love being in the studio. knowing that your moment of creativity can be commited to tape is something thats pretty special. and if it sounds good - as it will in this particular studio - than that is even better. anyway, i’m just kinda bummed that we didn’t start tonight. i was looking foreword to it. i’ll keep posts coming in the enxt couple of days. possibly with some pictures! keep an eye on my twitter, or on the band’s.

old 97s
john lee hooker. what a pimp.
belle & sebastian just came on the stereo...
and i’m exhausted to begin with. i’m sorry, stuart, but i’m so beat, i dont think i can make it through “stars of track and field”… i may skip to “me & the major” and then to the next album after that. but i can’t skip “me & the major” because its my favorite B&S song. so good. when the harmonica hits his lips its so good. yeah. i’m a little on the sleepy side… what of it?
my ipod is on album shuffle with a specific play list of about 45 albums i wouldn’t mind hearing today. just now it played the “yankee hotel foxtrot demo sessions” by wilco and then segued nicely into the new son volt “american central dust”. i still laugh when that happens. its like the place settings at a wedding or something. certain people cant sit by others. oh, ipod, how much you have to learn about politics. so, anyway, cheers to uncle tupelo.
