    Today is my mother’s birthday. It is also Pearl Harbor Day. My mother was not born on the actual Pearl Harbor Day. So there you go. Happy Birthday, Mom. – r A doom puddle. This is where we must search for exciting objects. In the doom puddles. We are in Providence and are eating ramen…

    So – one of the dangers of going back and moving the Journal is the finding of orphans – e.g. these are all photographs dated from December 5th, 2004 (probably not all taken on that day – at this point I’m organizing photos by date of offload to my computer, NOT the actual date they’re…

    Tired. But I usually am. We’ve been sleeping at College Perk to give us easy access to Firedean practice. Tonight we have ilyAIMY practice. Someday soon we shall put all of this practice into action, and we shall be a danger to ourselves and others, but for the moment… Brian and Katie at Brian Gundersdorf’s…

    This year’s Thanksgiving, sooo much better than last year’s Thanksgiving. Though I miss the mountains and the huge skies of Colorado, I certainly don’t miss trying to make do with a Thanksgiving dinner from a family restaurant rather than through a family. Family/friends. Orion tried to occupy any chair possible and was very put out…

    So, don’t I know the rule by now? If you wake up from a bad dream, you never, ever go back to sleep – because the next dream will be worse. By all means, attempt to return to slumber in the case of interrupted dreams of phantasm Lovers, or hit snooze to avoid your mundane…

    So tired. The weather is throwing me. The afternoons are looking too much like twilight, and I wake up honestly not knowing whether I am entering the day or leaving it. But hell, I get to wake up in the afternoons, so I suppose I don’t have all that much to complain about. John and…

    Deep in the… well… right on the edge of West Virginia. Many a sea chanty and old Irish song were sung. As well as some ilyAIMY tunes of mice, some old ghost locomotive tales, all sorts of good stuff. There was much women gettin their men killed and then committin suicide and falling in Love…

    I’ve been trying to hide out for a couple of days now. There was originally a plan of “taking November off”… but then there was PLOJ, and a couple of showcases we couldn’t turn down… then there was Firedean’s offer, and the practices inherent in that… and now there is a Funk Box show, and…

    PLOJ XXX was a success much greater than 29. Good musicians, really very good food. It ended a bit early, but no complaints there, as I truly was ready for a night OFF. We got started right at 6.30 (people were on time!!?) but ended pretty early. Dan Zimmerman playing keyboard and Alex Colvin experimenting…
