la, la lune est libre je crois, qui rayonne au-dessus, rayonne au-d'sus des toits.

been busy finishing up the term which ends on wednesday and preparing to move all my stuff again.

fixed an interesting bug in nautilus, it is very nice to be coding again. ;-)

been listening to massive amounts of the new godspeed you black emperor! album, need to get the fly pan am album when i get home to seattle.

i go home to seattle for break on thursday, i leave for belgium a week later for a family vacation, i get back and two days later i am supposed to leave for co-op but i still don't know where i am going. life remains interestingly vague.

i have sort of been avoiding everyone and everything lately, i think i just needed a break from social stuff and some time to just read and code and sleep a lot.

new cd's: levez vos skinny fists comme antennas to heaven by godspeed you black emperor! and agaetis byrjum by sigur ros.

claim it quick 'cause sorrow wants it, snatch the breath before it sings

it is now 1:40 am. i am leaving for home (seattle) at 8 am. i should by all rights be asleep right now. why am i still up? a combination of bad planning and poor decision making. all i have to say are three little words: laundry, packing, shower.

we left for the concert at around 6:30pm last night. arrived in louisville at 9:15pm and managed to get lost about ten feet into the city. we asked a nice kentuckian with a strong accent and naked girl pictures in his truck for directions and he drove us to the place the show was, which was probably not findable given the directions we had.

the show was incredible. maybe the best show i have seen this year. broadcast were unbelievable. as good as they are on cd they are 10 times better live.

we expected the show to end around 12am or so. it actually ended at 1:40am. it took us till 5am to get back to campus. i had to wake up this morning at 8:30am to say goodbye to marla who was leaving for st. louis. ouch.

new stuff: broadcast t-shirt, the sea and cake t-shirt, and extended play two by broadcast.

she was into S&M and bible studies, not everyone's cup of tea she would admit to me.

going home for the weekend on thursday which i am very happy about. i really need some time away from antioch right now.

so it started snowing last night and now the ground outside is lightly covered in snow. it begins again i fear.

been hacking again finally. wrote surf, a simple wave player that i may release at some point and am working on all sorts of neet things that should either surface soon or be abandoned to the void like so many other projects i have started and never finished.

going to see the sea and cake with broadcast tomorrow in louisville. very excited as i really really like the sea and cake and i have heard broadcast are exceptional live.

still no idea where i will be next term. i am doing another co-op but i don't know where yet. oh well, keeps life exciting.

new cd: free jazz by ornette coleman

went to west virginia this weekend. much fun. hopefully i will make a habit of getting off campus for a weekend, much saner that way.
