I have drunk so much green tea that I doubt very seriously if I could sleep even if I wished to do so. Things progress slowly in this lazy land. The days ooze lethargically from morning to night. They seem to echo each other, yet time still drags. Today was punctuated with one oddity. And a disturbing oddity it was. My parents took me out to the local cemetery to show me where my grandparents on my father's side are buried. Surely I have been there before, but the wash of bleakness the graveyard presented ...

_The early bird catches the worm_ is a phrase which was concocted by people who wished for those who chronically sleep late to feel inferior. **Music:** Richard Buckner & Jon Langford ...

I find myself in Seminole, Texas. All is peaceful. All is calm. All is tentively boring. However, I do my best to entertain myself. Amusement is, after all, the greatest reason for being alive. My plans to visit Austin are thwarted. My parents do not wish to drive me even a meager half-way to the capital city of the state of my upbringing. I am stuck. So I read. I listen to music. I scribble in my journal. I win $750 at the casino in Ruidoso (where I was with my parents from Sunday until yesterday). I get...

I don't think I've ever tried writing whilst attempting to defecate before so I am persuing this bit of multitasking at the moment. I had a very peculiar dream during the early hours of the morning. There was a huge multi-concert festival like something at a two level club somewhere in continental Europe and I was attending. I don't recall who the headlining band(s) were, but some of the lesser acts were **AC/DC** and **Harry Potter**! Odd. I was there with *Natascha*. Myriad other people I knew were ther...

It is the first night in *Ruidoso*. I am with my parents but thankfully in my own room at the hotel. Perfecktni. I awoke at 8.30 at my father's summons and nigh an hour later we were on the road through the bleak flatness of West Texas and Eastern New Mexico to end up finally in the semi-mountainous serenity of *Ruidoso*. Our first destination, of course, was *Billy the Kid* casino. I failed to win a single thing, and in this regard secure the beginnings of an accumulation towards Habosh's Iriver and rent ...

I also love mangos, but not at the same time as liver paté. The good news is that Magma is playing in Praha two nights in a row (a different set each night) on 26 & 27 November. The bad news is ... hm, well, there doesn't seem to be any bad news. ...

A friend of mine and I were, over beers the other night, coming up with names for songs (because naturally, it is more fun to start with a title than tack it on at the end of the compositional process). Here they are: - She's in Zagreb - I'm here - You Might Want to Get Out of the Building - Gingerbread Rape Scene - Your Slovak Bitch's Brains are on my Boot - Where do you Draw the Line Between Consonance and Dissonance? - I'd Prefer Seeing the Grand Piano Burn to the Ground - A Fugue of Screaming Babies Be...

Cakewalk has been giving me a tremendous headache for the past week. After I thought I had all of my problems solved with my obscure soundcard, everything came rushing back again and drowned me in a thick pool of frustration. It took a while to work myself out of the mire. I should mention that I had a bootleg version of the program and while I am not sure, that could have been one source of the problem. Anyway: yesterday I downloaded and installed this piece of software and after literally hours of fucking...
