weekend

so... here we are. I'm bored, and I want to go home. But I am at home. So where is this home at?

Perhaps if I cleaned the house and did some recording, it would help...

I've had an odd weekend. I can't really explain why... I just feel odd at the moment. I have a lot of things going on, and there's this weird calm right now. That means it's all going to explode and I'll be chasing the game instead of being one step ahead of it.

In other news, I can't seem to find a business to use for my graphic design class. *freak-mode* I'm hoping that changes with some connections I have. Anyway. Nothing I can do about that now, so I'm just riding out the calm.

I ordered all my books. $200!!! Could've been more, so I'm not gonna complain... I even got the Billy Corgan book for my literature class. I also got the rest of the CD's I had by zwan and the pumpkins into my itunes and ipod.

Here's the weird thing about the pumpkins... I remember seeing the video for Siva (the second track on Gish) on 120 minutes on MTV in 1990/91 - this is around the same time that I was getting into Soundgarden and various grunge bands pre-Nirvana. It was like... Here are these really heavy bands that are playing this sloppier dirtier music, and they're fucking awesome! Then Nirvana broke the scene open and the rest is history.

Now that I'm listening to some of this later stuff, I feel slighted that I didn't listen to it before. Once the Pumpkins went into this whole digital/machine phase of their career, I had moved on to hardcore and punk bands, so it was hard for me to accept it, and really had no reason to get back into it until now with this poetry project. It's still music that doesn't quite fit into a category - but I commend them for trying to take a different approach.

Oh, what is a boy to do? The killer in me is the killer in you...

I'm out... later churrens!

Hola Grey,
I thought you could use some comments. Sounds like a full plate there. Cool school project on Billy, I got to know him when doing some work with Sonia Choquette. Cool guy, very quiet and deep. Must be a Pisces thing, huh?!
I thought I would keep you guess'n as to my identity to add one more thing to rumble through your head. Stay calm, all is well. Can't wait to hear some tunes by Greyassun.

My vote goes to Mustachio.

Touche, mystery blogger ;-). Mr. Corgan's spiritual advisor... interesting. How do I know that? Weird...

Perhaps I'll be picking your brain once I compare poems to songs... keep tuned since I won't know who you are, and this will be my only way of contact.

Or perhaps... Mustachio, indeed...

Ahh, the suspense. I will keep in touch and check in often. And perhaps after about 30 days or so I will reveal myself.
I am not sure, but I may be seeing Mr. Corgan in early March. If so, I will mention your project to him. I am sure he will get a grin out of it!

Enjoy the mystery!
