yes, i am still alive... no, i am not enjoying it

the problem with blogs is that they require constant attention, and i'm not always in the mood to write. i'm not even in that mood right now but i'm forcing myself.

for your edification absolutely nothing of any import has happened since i last posted in april except:
1. finished the semester in london... travelled to Stockholm, Berlin, Paris, Calais, then back to MA
2. moved back to New York... i miss london.
3. started internship at Astralwerks... lots of new music i haven't bothered to listen to and a signed Erlend Oye poster (score!)
4. trying to find a part time job that pays decent, fits my schedule, and i can tolerate doing long-term... failing miserably
5. nothing. there is no fifth thing.

so anyway, the blog has languished. i promise this was just another one of those mostly-temporary three month hiatus kind of things.

i actually have another writing thing i'm kind of excited about: Amanda and i are starting a music blog. there's a lot of music-oriented stuff here, but i've never bothered to figure out things like quality hosting and how to post mp3s. she's good with the technical stuff and her musical taste is quality to boot so i think it would be pretty kick-ass. maybe we can get it kicking and people will start to send us free promos so i can enjoy the perks of a label job without actually having to get out of bed in the morning.

in other news i started my capstone record this week. me, dave, ty, and nate got four tracks worth of guitar basics done at this nice little studio matty d works at in dumbo. free studio time... bonus! i'm actually starting to get psyched about the record and if i can pull off half the shit i have planned it should be kinda bitchin.

k, i think that's enough for now. i should be pretending to look like i'm kinda working at something vaguely work-related. i'm gonna be better on this from here on out (more empty promises...), so happyhappyjoyjoy to you and yours.
