It’s been one of those no sleep kind of weeks, but I’ve been happier than I have in a while. I decided to boycott school in favor of actually taking time to work on some music and it’s amazing how much good that can do me. Even though it often frustrates me to the point that I quit, nothing makes me feel more accomplished than ending up with a song that I like. Too bad I can’t turn it in in place of my research paper.
new song
I don’t know what I’m going to call it yet …
just recorded a new song and I think I kinda like it
Daily Song: “The Clockwise Witness” - DeVotchKa
I tried on my halloween costume and danced around the house for a while then decided how I want to fix my hair 50’s style
I went outside brought in a handful of leaves and drew dandelions birds and music notes on them
I played guitar for a while and decided that the old newtome microphone my dad brought me is badass and I like my voice better in the fall

I played piano for the first time in a long while and rediscovered my love for the sustain pedal and stomping terribly out of rhythm with the other foot
I started writing a new song that went into the pile of the other songs I have yet to finish or show anyone
I drove around for a while and followed a police car out of the neighboorhood
I came back and packed my lunch for tomorrow
I opened a word document and started writing a poem instead of my paper
I googled elvis microphones
I wrote this post
I had a friend in my room the other night. He was a wasp. Come to think of it, he made me pretty nervous and uneasy but hey, what are friends for?this is my ladybug friend from yesterday. She sat on my arm for quite some time
I guess it’s just the weather getting colder, but I have seen an extreme amount of bugs indoors lately. There are at least 30 dead ladybugs on the windowsill I’m in front of at Bellarmine. It’s pretty sad
Also I can’t help but think of Sufjan Stevens when I see a wasp. the predatory wasp of the palisades is out to get us
