trains.

thank you, gabe.


"trains of thought"

you're fabulous!

spring '08 better be good; winter just did not treat me right.


went to see explosions in the sky with jimbly bearheart yesterday. it was soooooooo good. good is the incorrect word in fact. good implies decent as in:

alana- "hey hey, how are you doing?"
you- "good" (meaning ehhhh...)

it was fab-u-lous. the word of spring quarter: fabulous.



let's make spring fabulous, agreed?

hot new idea (prompted by many, billions in fact):

i need to write songs that are pertinent to everyone and what is more relatible than the universe. everyone lives in and is part of it.

but how do you write a song about the universe?

goals for spring '08:

1. jam
2. only eat sandwiches with jam, no more of that jelly shit
3. do well in my joke classes
4. come up with better jokes
5. meet some new folks
6. make mix tapes for friends (and friends of friends)
7. write letters (pen pal, anyone?)
8. finish jacket for juliet michelle
9. give away all ugly clothes
10. don't buy more ugly clothes
11. stop cutting own hair
12. grow facial hair
13. jugamos tennis con tu
14. stop speaking broken spanish
15. come up with some more legitimate goals

i found a mix cd under a pile of junk, although it would hardly play due to so many scratches. so i "remastered"; hoodcheck proudly presents:

diet cokes, fake designer sunglasses and the soundtrack to the end of summer (remastered):

ratatat - seventeen years
rjd2 - ghostwriter
whitest boy alive - above you
donovan - season of the witch
dntel - roll on (feat. jenny lewis)
the elected - sun, sun, sun
camera obscura - llyod, im ready to be heartbroken
rogue wave - manna
feist - i feel it all
the blow - true affection
joan baez - house of the rising sun
tilly and the wall - i can't believe you
cat power - the greatest

every other day, i stare at the back of your head. its not fabulous in any manner, in fact, you should wash it a bit more frequently. are your constant head scratches a nervous habit or do you just have a dry scalp? does your hair naturally have those waves in the back or is that just how you slept on it?

if i sit in front of you tomorrow, will you stare at the back of my head?
