I, Totally Obsessed and Thinking About it All the Time

Year!

That's a popular way Japanese like to say "Yeah!" I get it in emails. Is this new? Or am I getting old? My 28th birthday is on the way. I am going to buy myself a computer, and book a day in the studio and record. Maybe two days. Which means I have to save a bit of money, but I am good at that. Though not in the past few days.
My idea for recording: day 1. Sad songs. day 2. Happy songs. Maybe record three or four on each day. Do it solo. I can sing, play guitar, and drums. I can keep some songs stripped down, layer some other ones. Maybe I wanna do a duet for the happy songs. But for the two days it'll cost me around 1,500 CAD just for the recording.

Saw a great few bands last weekend. A Tom Waits girl type band -- the girl liked me and held my hand for awhile. Totally bananas, this girl. But the CD is esoteric, folksy, and at times, cute. Eart, a funky-house band is smooth, smooth, velvet. The band comes off better live. Maybe the recording is slightly old. Much more energetic live.
few others. too much gin, followed by beers in Shibuya.

Still been hitting the gym. bought a weight for home.

this weekend gonna buy a fridge, a gas burner, a washing machine, a table, and four checkered cushions. That's gonna set me back. Fuckers. Fuckers who charge money for the shit I want.

Matt, you are the man. You are the man with the plan.

I'm going to see Radiohead in Vancouver again in August. Also going to see Beck at the Royal Theatre. It's gonna be awesome. I'm going camping this weekend in Bamfield with Joel G. and some people. Good times.

Ryan,

I really liked the Beck show I saw. He played with the Flaming Lips. Probably the best show ever.

Camping in Canada is the shiznit. I went camping in Japan once, but it was more like camping on somebody's lawn. There was a few shops that sold soup, food, and beer on site. Not bad, but when you get down to brass tax, you camping to get away from stuff being automatically provided for you.
Luckily though, I did come across a discount porn, knife, and booze shop.
