so i wound up not playing at the show, but there will be plenty more shows this summer. (actually, sometime in August -the 24th maybe?- there's going to be a spoken word show at the NSPLibrary, I'm excited.) it was a good show though, despite some overly emotive moments. Jon K, the Doldrums (not only an awesome name, but some of the best lyrics I've heard in quite a while and a cool artrock feel), Chris the Wayback Machine, Wooly and Robby Rob's latest project- I can't remember the name, but it's the Latin name for the common Thresher shark. I love that several of my friends are obsessed with marine science metaphors.
and it finally happened. I knew that it would eventually, since I've befriended and sometimes dated many musicians, but I thought I had avoided it for now. A song about me. A song about me, breaking up with someone cool. I don't really regret how things went, but I felt a little shitty, it was a pretty depressing song. But at least it was beautiful. That made me happy.
right now at this moment, my feet are sticky. Campfire, wine spilled on flip flops, not by but on me.
I just had a long philosophical discussion with my father about slang, re-inspiring me to get a (potentially useless) degree in sociology/linguistics, and to do reports on internet slang. seriously, there are so many nuances. from teeny boppers to SM fetishists, there is specialized internet slang, and counter-slang.
I should go to bed now, goodnight moon.
(oh, and beware; I may post poetry soon, and am sort of working on a half-ass bunch of songs.) (also- it probably somehow says something about a person to see how they use punctuation with parentheses.)
