i was walking and heard footsteps running getting closer and closer when they reached me the guy stopped and said "did i scare you?" no you didn't scare me i said. he ran past and when he turned his face toward me looking back, he was a different person. i kept walking and soon i heard footsteps running toward me again. they got closer and closer and when they reached me the guy said "did i scare you?" no, you didn't scare me i said. he ran away and when he took a look back, he was a different guy. i walked on and heard again footsteps running getting closer and closer. when the guy reached me he stopped and asked "did i scare you?"no, i said, you didn't scare me. he ran on and when he looked back, it was the guy who first had spoke to me.

we're recording with kevin blechdom this week. yes finally a new cd. something good comes out of not touring.

we're going to be on a short tour with dufus: THE BERKSHIRES:life in and out of the woods. the tour starts at a tapas resteraunt in pittsfield. details are in the shows section of course

we have a new website. tom! susan's awesome boyfriend made it and i love it.

 

i hate them. i can't change i feel trapped. they tell me different things every time i call and then i talked to the supervisor and told her what was going on and asked her about connecting me to johnny and she told me she couldn't do it then she told me to try another operater. i hate them all i have so much hate for sprint. i fucking hate them.

and i can't complain because they have no one who gives a fuck about anyone.

aaaaaaaaak i lost my  voice.

i was putting stuff together for tom who's building a new website for us and i read all the band name stuff again, there's new stuff too i think.

as part of the webpage we'll have some selected hate and love mail about the subject. if anyone knows how to do a message board, please help me.

i think the discussion is an important one. and interesting, and it'll change over the years.

and wow there's a lot of angry people out there

and geeze the internet makes it easy to vent that without responsibility.

and they really did misunderstand when they said our appologies were insincere.

sometimes i wonder about college. 

my friend's memorial is coming up this weekend

a book that i was reading during my daily trips to the hospital was called Out of the silent planet by c.s.lewis, i chose it because it could fit in my small bag and also because of the sci-fi cover. i've read other things by him and was sometimes bothered by the fact that he is overtly christian. i guess it also takes a while in some circles, mine included to use the word god without feeling hesitant. the word and the religion have been used against my personal ideas of spirit, faith, and goodness. this book explains more to me about who he was. this is what i wrote:

as the men in his book are zooming through space, on their way to mars, one of them looks out the window..."he wondered how he could ever have thought of planets even of the earth as islands of life and reality floating in a deadly void. now, with a certainty wich never after deserted him, he saw the planets, the "earths" as he called them- as mere holes or gaps in the living heaven-formed not by addition to, but by subtraction from, the surounding brightness."i read this part over and over, showed it to barb and johnny and dan, but i feel like i just started to understand what it meant to me.the beauty is not that we are made of the same elements as stars! but that inside and around us there is space -a living heavens- a place for brightness to thrive. a place for us to go when we cease to occupy our earth like bodies. the places where barb used to stand are now breath and light and movement radiowaves and birdsongs.

hmmmmm

i think i'll sing a song too.

my shoulder has been twitching for days and johnny just left for the month.

i'm gonna go take a shower and clear my head.

  

we are not going to go on tour with jason trachtenburg and the debutante hour in november.
let's go in march! ok!
yipee! that's enough time to do something properly!
we are thinking about playing a last minute show at sound fix friday.
woah! that's real last minute! how spontaneous.
johnny and julie are having a show in the backyard thursday.
a string quartet! a pianist (not tiny)! huggabroomstik!mephany stankins!that is also spontaneous!
since my friend died i have been afraid i will have a seizure when i am alone.
i feel the need to do things spontaneously.
then i'll try doing nothing at all.
we'll see what works.
