death obsessions

good news: i got enrollment into a class that i needed. print culture and the history of the book. i'm a happy panda. it's going to be a light courseload this year, but I suppose that's okay. I just want to get school done and get on with life. i'm still trying to get into a screenprinting class because I severely want to get into it more, and i think a class teaching me how will be very beneficial to my learninggggggg. listenng to bjork makes me happy.

CD of the week:

Queens of the Stone Age - Era Vulgaris

The cd has been out for about 2 weeks now, and it's dominating all mainstream rock. Every song is either non-stop rock, or non-stop groove magnetism. The track on the radio, sick sick sick, is just wonderful, fast hard rock. The infectuous hooks that QOTSTA are known for have not been ignored in this album searing with awesomeness. The only unfortunate thing about this album is  that the track bearing the title Era Vulgaris isn't included on this cd, and its a great fucking song. nevertheless, this album rocks so just respect it.

peace on earth,

the beaurocracy at my university has made enrollment impossible. i cannot enroll into any classes because they are either full or reserved for other majors. how does that make sense? i can't enroll in an english class as an ENGLISH MAJOR? rather, they reserve seats for professional writing and non-majors. im e-mailing the chairwoman of english to bitch her out nicely. 

in other news, John Wiese e-mailed me today. He replied to an e-mail regarding his live performance setup and what works for him in portable practicality. He is a really nice guy and has been really helpful. Plus he makes awesome music.

I haven't slept much in the last 48 hours, 3 or 4 hours at most. I'm running off caffeine and whatever is in monster energy drinks. the green kind is the best, jerry. The best!

I miss kat. 

I miss mr. puss.

its almost 10:00am and i can't sleep. i worked into the early morning at the price chopper. i hate that job, but i would hate not having any job even more. I am in toronto and the tension in my apartment is a little thick. My roomate brandon hasn't paid his portion of the internet bill in 4 weeks so i decided to cut him off. i think he is pissed, but he shouldn't make it out to be a personal thing...it's simply business. however, on the personal side i do consider him to be unreliable in many ways. i hope i get to see kat this weekend. we hung out last night, drank coffee/tea and ate various cakes at the groundswell before i went to work. even though i was kind of in a bad mood about some personal things that are going on, she makes me all smiley and happy. 

i miss my cat. i think about him all day every day; the pain in my heart is deep. I understand he was an older cat, but im sure he had many years ahead of him had it not been for his accident. i really hoped we could spend the summer together snuggling in the morning after work and lazing around into the afternoon. i miss his little meows when he wanted help to get on my really high bed. i miss his little purring sounds and his coos of affection. He used to bite alot, but it was only out of love. on sunday i think im going to find a nice stone to put at the head of his grave. 


today and tomorrow im going to record some vocals with a new band im working with. the band is called Babies and we are mostly synthesizer-based. i guess my vocals will come pretty scream-y, but i hope to try new things. i think it might be a fun idea to see calvin johnson. i don't know what his music is like nowadays though.

that's all for now. i love you.
