I’m loving how cold the weather is nowadays. Cold in the Texas sense, of course, but still cold enough for my uber-neat black wool peacoat, which makes me feel like a Soviet spy. Today I spent some twenty minutes sitting on the cold ground and staring at a tree and trying to elicit some poetry. It was a nice tree — an aspen, I think, with sparse leaves shivering in the wind, against the grey sky. What am I missing? Where does it stop being boring?
I’m sitting across from several idiots in the school library, and they’re talking about the Flight Club soundtrack, and this entire episode is going to ruin my love for that Pixies song.
Bohemia West, Frontage Roads’ fundraiser, went just swimmingly. All of those skinny guitar-playing boys are pretty fantastic. I should learn to play guitar, too, to cure myself of these infatuations. I think if I wasn’t so musically illiterate the whole music scene would cease to impress me so much.
I am also pleased by the cold weather. Minnisota isn’t Russia, but it’s pretty cold. We had our share of snow filled Halloweens.
I’m still waiting for pictures…
Oh, actually Anush….
The more musically litterate, heh, its holding “litter”
you become, the more you appreciate good music.
first
You hear a song and then you like wiggle your fingers in an Air Guitar position, going like, wowee, now thats crazy musics…
then
And then you find those that you don’t even do that for, because they’ve gotten past the technicalities, and are totally in tuned to the tune and the chanelling, and you’re like, wow, so thats what you’re lawn looks like. No longer is speed and technical ability amazing you, but the simplicity of perfectly excecuted beauty is what you appreciate.
understanding what it takes to do that
And anyway, it all works.
I’m all for the return of improvisation, because with that usually comes a good deal of passion and recklessness. Hooray!

i think you imply culture by scene, almost.
i need tea.
