I must be going now. I still expect muffins.

baking is no fun when there is no one to watch.

peachy mayhem. how did it go?

as for my day you can say it was ok. i go to the libray every day for the ny times coverage of the war. then i read bits of barack obama's second book in russian translation. came home, listened to iggy. mailed a letter to my grnadparents and hit a philosophy seminar on speech acts, silence and pornography. later, my little brother and i had a marathon phone chat about the same. now i am just laying about. it is already thursday. meet me at the corner.

Cool, thanks for the video, gotta check out more of them.

Quehenberger is pretty much the underground legend here in vienna. He does alot of different styles, from straight techno to dark ambient to noise and he also plays with various free jazzers and impro groups (that's the stuff I prefer at the moment).
He's got a new record out on Mego but I haven't had the chance to listen to it yet.

"This long awaited long-player debut (after the 12”EP “QBBQ” on Cheap in 2002) seems to be immune against quick categorization. Based on a wondrous forwardness , the prevailing instrumental tracks neglect predictability, never lose their mysteries, opening psychedelic trap doors and windows,bunching imagination and closeness. "Phantom in Paradise" captivates with intelligent dancefloor confusions, out of which in a hypnotic maelstrom are peeling off a sneaking, dark gleaming Pop appeal and uncaring magic. Quehenberger has taken the raw energy of his ecstatic live performances and crafted a diamond of a release. From the catchy riffs of ‘Loner Goner’, to the polyrhythmic UR-like ‘Varad” and the scorching twisted keyboard distortion of ‘Verdammst!’.
File under: Prog - dance heavy listening"

Also he is a very nice, totally strange guy.

Waffle House, then Sonic, then sitting at said Sonic with our mutual gay friend and listening to bad 90s music (Real McCoy, Sum 41, Blink-182, bad rap). Only sub-par part was when I decided that it would be a good idea to stand atop a snow-slicked fire hydrant...on my way down I completely ganked my right knee and now I have a gnarly ring of bruises around my kneecap.

Another good day for me.

Made a Cleopatra costume, cooked corned beef hash for dinner, made two loafs of bread, watched Blackbeard's Ghost with my still-a-little-bit-ill boy.

Pookie 02.25.2010 07:09 PM

And I found out where the leak under the bath was coming from. Just have to fix it now.

I'm sounding a bit Facebook.

cagedbird 02.25.2010 07:14 PM

Snow. Wet and cold. Now dry and bored. Not going to Ecstatic Peace poetry reading. Total homebody. Yeah.

!@#$%! 02.25.2010 08:29 PM

it started a couple of hours ago with a tasty breakfast. however, it's already after dark. so i'd conclude it was quite short.

Cox Cable (aptly named) has been screwing me for years over an "extra computer" charge.

today, the Family Enforcer (girlgum) called and yelled at them.

I now have HD cable and a DVR free for the next year.

I'm too nice to get free stuff.

knox 02.26.2010 08:35 PM

it was a good day, very good.

girl! 02.26.2010 09:16 PM

shitty

jon boy 02.26.2010 09:23 PM

boring but its gonna get better now.

phoenix 02.27.2010 05:55 AM

exhausting, the same as usual.

knox 02.28.2010 03:08 PM

it seems i don't hate spreadsheets so much anymore.
i've been sober, feels like a dream.
i'm also running out of tea, which is worrying.
sad/happy/horny/dehydrated.
i promised myself a good slice of cheesecake with a nice up of tea.
it was the worst cheesecake ive ever had, so i didn't really.
where do you buy my little poneys these days?
i wonder if floatingslowly knows, that if i could id go to one of those old toy antique places and scatter them randomly around his house and work, so they would be FOUND and also ran over.

girlgun 02.28.2010 03:09 PM

my day sucks.

yesterday sucked.

all days suck.

Pookie 02.28.2010 06:38 PM

Aside from four hours work, a very relaxing Sunday.

Ended with a lovely chicken roast.

phoenix 02.28.2010 10:40 PM

ermmmm kind of painful, but not all bad.

I'd like to amputate a few parts of my body at this point. Not sure how well I'd cope without a middle though.

Sonic Youth 37 02.28.2010 11:39 PM

Today=awesome
Tomorrow=awkward

phoenix 03.01.2010 12:42 AM
