Current mood:  virginal
it seems that everyone and their mother went to BED, BATH & BEYOND this weekend.
(that expression is truly fitting in this instance, as there is a great chance that all of our moms actually DID go to bed, bath & beyond this weekend!)

i went in search of a food processor, and found a whole lot more.
art like i've never seen it.
i would post the photos i took, but james gunn already posted these fine works of art, complete with titles and commentary, so check out HIS BLOG if you want to read all about it.
(warning: james has a DARK sense of HUMOR. don't read his blogs if you're an uptight bitch/prick.)

yesterday was spent signing things for you people.
i asked for some special free gift ideas, and you guys basically wanted everything i already had planned for you - signed guitar picks, tshirts, buttons, etc.
some of you wanted predictably weird shit like "go on a date with you!" and i'm sorry to inform you that i will not be sending "go on a date with you" along with your CDs.
first of all, i have no concept of how to package and ship that, and secondly....just NO.

as many of you know, most "autographed" band stuff is not actually autographed by the band.
(and for those of you whose dreams i just shattered, i apologize.)
HOWEVER - now, when you order TERRA NAOMI AUTOGRAPHED SHIT, it will actually be SIGNED BY ME.
not a printed signature (like the guitar picks that came with my 'virtually' cd - those were printed in a factory. i never even touched 'em.)

here is the proof:

i signed 1000 picks and 1000 CDS.
half way there.

and here's why:
i'm re-releasing THIS CD from 2002:
Image Hosted by ImageShack.us


2000 copies.
that's all.
and every CD will be signed.
there will be other stuff to order with it, and i'll post more info on that very soon!
the CD will be sold through my NEW WEBSITE (coming soon!!!) and every penny made will go towards the recording of MY NEXT ALBUM!!!
i will explain it all very soon.
watch this space!!!

so i just finished my second bowl of raisin bran.
i remembered this TV commercial from when i was a kid, and it showed the sun with 2 SCOOPS of RAISIN BRAN!!!
so i poured myself another bowl because the TV told me to.
but then i remembered that the sun was actually pointing out the TWO SCOOPS of RAISINS in kellogg's raisin bran.
and now i'm just fat.
if it weren't for that darn vomit phobia i could just puke it up and fix my mistake, like everyone else in this city.
oh well.
at least i still have enamel on my teeth.

and speaking of which - i'm going to the dentist in a few hours.
totally scared that he'll notice my lack of flossing over the past year and a half.
flossed like 20 times last night and this morning, trying to make up for it, and now my gums are swollen and sore and he'll probably try to sell me something.
like teeth whitening.
("that's just blood, doctor.")

more tomorrow.
unless i find something better to do with my time.

I love that album (I got it at Bumbershoot in Seattle way back when)! I'm so glad you're re-releasing it. Everyone who reads this and doesn't have it MUST order one :-)

wow! thanks sean.
that's super cool.
and i forgot to mention - the 2008 RE-RELEASE is updated with a 4-page booklet in the front, full of self-effacing commentary on the songs and the writing of them.....

two bowls of cereal is nothing, I eat at least 3 in a sitting, I don't know what it is about cereal, but it's just so damn tempting...

PS: we miss you in DC ;)

I got mine in 2006 when Terra's mom (see, I've gone American) found a bunch in an old shoebox, so I think she was the one that should have signed that batch.

Anyway, I'm sure people reading this blog will do it anyway, but I can only urge you to buy a copy - or two, or three. It's a wonderful introduction to the essence of Terra's music, and despite her protestation it's got some wonderful stuff in it. Also let's say it has a different production imprint to more recent stuff. Not only is it worth it in its own right, then it will help Terra to produce the next album which we are all awaiting.

Oh yes - there are also a few riddles in these songs, at least one or two I haven't yet solved, and I suspect I never will. Perhaps in Terra's memoirs a long time in the future.

steve - you might discover the answers in the liner notes!!
i wrote them in one sitting and did not censor myself.
a dangerous thing to do.
hehe

I'm all about getting the re-release. I got Virtually and the "autographed" guitar pick, but this will be genuine. I'll make my own little like cert of authenticity. haha

i hate judgmental dentists. most people are scared of the dentist because of the pain they anticipate, but i just worry about those disappointed (and sometimes angry) looks.

Am I an uptight prick? If I have to ask, I probably am.
I don;'t want any shit. I want the liner notes and the music and the experience and the circle of friends.
Three out of four ain't too bad I guess.

I have two copies of that CD, which I love (in case I accidentally break one!) ... but, not with liner notes! I'll have to get a couple copies more (make great holiday gifts, too!)... since the money goes toward making a new CD!! Unless the 2,000 sell out too fast!!

I saw the pics (in James' blog yesterday) of BB&B's beautiful *cough* art. James' blogs are fun to read... but, so are yours!! xo

"at least i still have enamel on my teeth" - I laughed so hard when I read that. I'm gonna remember that 'come back' line if someone who conducts self-inflicted purges on a regular basis puts me down.

Looking forward to seeing you on 11/6 in LA. Bringing more friends this time.

Do you need a drummer for the show?? ;)
