_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...
Since I am unable to do any real work at the moment, I decided to fiddle with my Livejournal Interests for a good while. I'd say I performed a more or less 40% modification. The initial purpose was to rid the list of the more general interests and replace them with more specific ones. For example, I replaced Indian Food with Korma and Vindaloo. The purpose is to define myself in a more explicit manner. Whether I have succeeded or not, I don't know. It was a mildly interesting amusement, however, which ate a...
Depression is annoying, especially depression which seems to have no basis. It's been creeping up on me all day (stealthily, I might say, though I could sense something growing) and has now reached a plateau. It's hard to think. It's hard to function. Why? What causes this? It consumes me about once weekly with varying intensities. Should I go on anti-depressants? I surely don't want to. ...
