leftovers

It's very silly, really. Quite a few weeks back, my partner and I consumed a whole chicken, and upon finishing, set aside the wishbone. Days ago, we rediscovered the wishbone, now fully dry, and decided to take our chances with fate. We both made a wish, counted to three, and pulled. I ended up with the bigger half; hence my wish was destined to come true. I made a wish that a certain individual who I hadn't heard from in an amount of time that I was comfortable with would e-mail me. Low and behold, two mornings later, there it was in my in-box. Wishbones are mysterious things.

So it's coming up on Fall... it's still august but I am ready for autumn. Normally people don't start a big diet/excersize program at the END of summer, but then I never do things that people normally do (or I try not to, at least.) The main reason I am doing this now, is of course because I've again gotten rather fat (195lbs 2 weeks ago - down to 188 lbs now) and because big things are about to happen! First, my band was just in OUT magazine as one of the 'top picks for fall' because that's when our second album is coming out, which is going to be 50 times better than the first one, and it will actually be sold on leading internet retailers' sites (including itunes and amazon.com, my personal favorites.) Plus, we have a really big show coming up next month, Folsom Street Fair. And, Dylan and I are going to the Iceland Airwaves music festival in October and there's going to be lots of little icelandic hotties running around, and lots of geotherm...

I hardly ever use this blog. Which makes it kind of interesting to me, because everytime I stumble back upon it, I rarely remember writing the previous entry. It's a nice lil' surprise. I am constantly outblogged by my good blogger friends, buckglitter and shelfindulgence. But, I do spread my blogging around the neighborhood, kind of a blog slut I guess. I've got a blog at myspace.com/devintait and one at myspace.com/shittingglitter so those keep my hands full. Throughout any given day, I have about 20 "profound" thoughts, or rather trains of thought, that I think to myself would make for a good blog... but I don't often get around to actually typing them in. If only one could hook a USB cable into one's head and download the data directly. It's the QWERTY that fucks me up.

I left the windows wide open today to air out the apartment, and then about a minute ago I thought I heard rain; turned around and looked out the window and sure enough it's raining! How frustrating. It's raining too hard to ride my bike home and shut the window, but if I walk it will take an hour to get there and back, and I already took my lunch break. I guess it'll just have to get a little wet. I am so eager to get my hands on the new Electric Six album - I thought it would be at Virgin Megastore on Monday (the import release) but it wasn't, and Marc (my friend who works there) says it won't be in until Friday. I had one of the most amazing dreams last night. I have been really getting into this cognisant dreaming - where you realize that you are in a dream and manipulate it to get what you want out of it. In the dream, I was walking down Main Street in my hometown, Paradise Kansas. I then realized it was a dream and decided I wanted to be in Reykjavik ins...

It's valentine's day and it's sort of chilly and I have a chill in my heart after reading "Shadowland" over the weekend. It's funny how a person can go through life and be surrounded by people who are so careless and thoughtless. Another thought: As much as I've grown to despise the homeless people, it seems as if they may be better off here on the streets of Hollywood than they would be in an institution. I am talking about the schizophrenic ones (which most of them seem to be). After reading about the conditions at Steilacoom where Frances Farmer was, and then doing some further research that suggests conditions are not much better today - well compared to that, the streets of Hollywood must be like a Sheraton Hotel.

OK so I used to use this BLOG as my diet and health diary. That was lame, and I apologize. I have actually had way more success with my "NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTION" diet and am now down to 180 lbs if you were keeping track. Anyway, I already keep a blog on my myspace page, a blog for my band on our myspace page, and a daily personal diary. So, this little blog is here is a little overboard. The title 'leftovers' is actually still a really good title for this, because I am merely here to squeeze in whatever else hasn't found a home in any of my other mediums. The main reason I am here however, is so I can comment on two other people who are keeping blogs here. So that's that.
