my new roommate, the stand-piggy:

is that percussion or electric like some insane theremin?

either way looks awesome


crap! sorry to hear.

my friend royl makes these.
it's an acoustic instrument/sculpture.
we like to play it with mallets and bows.
it's also great fun to mic them with contact mics and run the signal through fx.

^^ great!

Thanks! But I'll manage it somehow. I already put up a poll and the way things look right now, I'll just transfer it from Saturday the 16th to Friday the 15th. Gotta contact the venue and fix the date on another website where I already created an entry for it. There's no option to edit it yourself, so I'll have to ask an admin. Bit of a pain in the ass, but it shall work.

So, ATT: It'll probably be the 15th of May. Nice addition to your room by the way!

that sounds SO FUN. i always wanted to play a waterphone, too.

anyone here ever been in a tornado?

No but my family is from tornado alley so ive heard plenty of stories

I didn't say they weren't but orgasms are better in private than walking the street no? Same with obnoxiously large headphones.. all the kids rock beats (which actually really suck btw) and look like 80s jackasses.. i been listening to music 24/7 on headphones since was carrying a walkman and cassettes but ive alwaya preferred earbuds so i can sort of know what is going on around me (hey i metro through the Hood got to alert) rather than getting totally absorbed in my own sonic world

it's pretty wild. the aftermath only though. its crazy what they can do. Georgia has been getting a lot as of late. F3 came maybe a little over 60 yards from my house years ago. maybe closer. one tree down and my dog disappeared for days.

just wondering.

yeah, during the string of hurricanes florida got about eleven years ago, one ripped through my neighbourhood and took out our back fence. my grandparents' house was destroyed six or seven years ago and the city built them a totally new house on the same spot. they slept through it.

I once witnessed mobile homes being lifted up in the air and the sky was all green, but I never "saw" a funnel......afterwards everyone was talking about the tornado, so I must have been close???

Sounds like California and earthquakes.. we got our own Richter scale it goes, "do i get out of bed for this?" Usually that translates to above 6.0 which admittedly is a strong motherfucking earthquake yo

yeah, my aunt and uncle up in the bay area act like it's nothing. which i guess after being born in and living in california all their lives, it is. my grandparents were really lucky to have not been hurt, seeing as their roof collapsed around them.

I once ate a tournedos

had an epic fight with my mother, the kind i have been having once or twice per year since i m unemployed, yesterday afternoon and since then i m not ok. so, i m trying to be ok, because as i said i want to be ok.

be ok

you're still unemployed? I thought you'd found a job a while ago.

it is happening, but not just yet. its ministry of economics, procedure is stuck.

in my ass!
(sorry)

Whis I could weld and work with metal myself. Royl is great with it. He recently made me the best and heaviest guitar slide I ever saw. it's so huge I have to play it with two fingers.


friday nights I usually have to work until 11pm. but afterwords, I'll be there.
if you feel funny, this friday, me and eric are gonna play at fucking Nachtasyl of all places. Really looking forward to that.
we're gonna do free-space-psych versions of Townes van Zandt, Mississippi Fred McDowell and Jackson C. Frank. haha. could be a total disaster too.


sorry to hear that nef.
had a weird fight (that, like everything where I come from, started with Knödels) with my mother last weekend too. we basically both made us very sad.

hope all you hurricane people are fine.
Somehow your hurricane envelops me in misty rain
Funny how your quiet pond can carry me like a rushing river

fingers crossed, very much so.

I'm once again on business trip with Asians. they asked me what's so special about Amsterdam that it attracts so many tourists. I said:

- this

- and this



Now I feel stupid.
I'll never be a sales person, not that I'll ever want to be.
Or a tour guide for that matter :)

Should have said

- this


- and this:



and even this
(even though it's not in the city Amsterdam but hey what do they know)

gah, that looks lovely. how long are you there?

that's Netherlands, I live there :)
The last picture is of Keukenhof. If you ever go there, make sure it's in Spingtime.

but I've been in Paris this past week for work, for the third time in two months. It's been a busy time

another dream spot for me. one day.

Overrated

still, i'd wanna cross it off a list. or nice or somewhere. i dunno.

It's a great place to visit but i understand the stoner aspect is like going to an amusement park to go out for dinner, over priced when your favorite restaurant at home is probably better anyway!

i don't even smoke so that part i can kind of ignore.

my roommate makes me so miserable. she leaves mid may. i'm counting down.

you spoke the truth though!

not that i don't love vermeer

Sad because of drugs and alcohol. i kicked my girlfriend out because she stole 500 dollars from me. don't ask how because i know she did. she needed it the most because of said cause she was in..... just in case i kicked her out. smart but dumb.

what better way to do it like she did, but it wasn't that clever and planned out on her part because i found out. she knows i know and she got away with 500 dollars.

i was giving her a place to stay because she was homeless. it was a weird relationship anyway. caring as friends but me not wanting nothing else. im not a very weathly man so supporting her was hard.

sad what drugs do to you. crack. cocaine.

hello spring. never thought you show.

Funny in LA we got the opposite problem, ain't seen winter since 2011

it's been cold here. very cold. maybe not Boston cold but cold. maybe it's an east coast thing.

there's green pollen everywhere. on my porch. in my eyes and mouth. up my ass in my hair. you can see it floating in the air and taste it. crazy!!!!!!

thing is though....it kinda gets you high in a way. tie a bumble bee with a string. kick a dandy lion.

that's nice. just like the internet. redirect me to somewhere else.

This morning

Nothing on the calendar today
Oh cripes....
Let's see if we can get going here
Hmmmmmm....
Huh? I don't THINK so...
Now, to quit goofing around
That white board sure looks nice
hmmmmmmmmmmm
It smells new too
Say what?
This one's cursive and this is Lester
Are you for real?
Oh...my god....she did
WOW
Pam sent something
OH! That's different!
.....hahah HAHAHA!
I don't know
haha, I saw....haha

"that white board sure looks nice"

i mean, i love a nice clean white board.

an old friend of mine was killed in a fucking hit and run last night back home. ugh. i'm fucking pissed. he was 24 for god's sake. in a hit and run. we hadn't spoke in like, two years but still.

my old roommate's ex had to break up with him because of the same reasons. sorry to hear, dude. it's hard when you can see someone decline right there but you have to preserve yourself. good move.

make sure to keep her out because she will come crawling back. junkies are like wild animals when it comes to sources, feed 'em once and they return for more.

cue the outraged howls of people disgusted by my inhumanity cos im not being nice enough.

this one is gonna fuck up hard and she'll be back to scam or steal from you in whatever way she can - it was a v.successful score for her so when things run dry she will def return. offering you sex or if that doesnt work threatening you in some way.

remember people like this are not suitable to be around a family.
