Rock N Roll Buffalo

i think i've read and watched high fidelity too many times.

i've thought this many times in my life.

i used to be a dj at my college radio station and my listeners were veteran music buffs who said i had i good show. but even if i consider myself to have good taste in music, it doesn't mean that i know very much about music.

but i would love to know a lot about music.

but it's a similar crisis to paul's crisis with digital media (which i've also had many times). music and DM are dynamic fields. there is constantly something out there that's new to learn, to pick up, to know about.

knowledge takes too much energy sometimes.

but i still love digital media and i still love rock n roll.

that's why i'm glad i went to Mohawk Place tonight. i only saw/heard one song by the famed kimya -- it was very good. also caught the butchies set. it was good music, good rock n roll. get your fist in the air.

but it also made me sad that i don't know about music. not even the little bit i used to know when i was a once a week DJ. i want to work at championship vinyl, man. get me a job at empire records. anything.

in the real world, i'd enquire at home of the hits. but in the real world, i know i don't know enough for them. knowledge and the lack of it are both burdens.

if it weren't for the cover charges, i might consider making mohawk place, or even nietches my new home. but i can barely afford rent as it is, let alone weekly fees for live music.

but i do love it so. rock n roll buffalo.

i loved the fresh breeze of visitng artists, but even better it made me realize how much i love all the resident artists.

Honeymooning

I'm honeymooning with my newlywed color. Yesterday at the city hall show, my love of purple was affirmed by the Reverend Julie Perini. It was a quite moving experience.

I also married my darling, Soyeon. (i'm her sweetie!) It was kinda Vegas-style & last minute, but we did have some witnesses to make it official. We haven't discussed longterm plans or anything, but I don't think there's any annulment in the future or anything.

I'll post pictures when the Reverend gets them to me.

old men and taxes

a weekend full of nothing

well, i saw a movie. eternal sunshine of the spotless mind. it was okay. i enjoyed watching it, but it wasn't, like, the best movie ever, or anything. if you got a couple extra bucks, go see. but i don't know that if you don't, you'll really be missing that much.

also, was at the pink saturday for an early drink with churchofjulie. old men hitting on us. i'm tired of that. i need to learn that it doesn't matter if i'm rude to drunk old men, cause if i'm just the tiniest bit nice, it shows them that i'd be interested in spending the entire evening warding off their advances.

'course, it would probably be a different story if it was a hip, hot young man...

but today... my only action today was to get a library card. yeah! now i'm really a member of the community. plus i picked up some tax forms. i have to do my own taxes this year for the first time ever. i hope it's not as hard as it's rumored to be...

late again

why oh why is my sleep cycle fucked up this week?

i finally finished getting my website together for my review tomorrow. if you want to see what i have in my portfolio at the moment, go to

www.dreamdilation.com

i sad that i missed a probably very fun night at the pink. i was thinking about going down around 2am, but then i realized i haven't showered in a while and am not really fit for public consumption.

tomorrow my friend judy is coming for the weekend. yeah judy! sadly she leaves early on sunday, so there'll be no chance for sunday brunch at sybelles (i don't think that's how to spell that word). maybe saturday. i'll see what she wants to do.

also now i'm hungry but if i eat, then i'll probably be awake longer. arrrrgghhh. there's no solution.

here's the PJ bouncing flash test. it's not impressive, but i wanted to see what flash does on this here site.

benefits of wakefulness

i finally got to sleep maybe around 5 am

but being awake was good cause i got to have a bit of email conversation with mike, awake in england (early morning for him).

so i think i'm going to make a short flash cartoon for his most recent character, PJ the Robot. with new flash capabilities, i'll post it up here when i'm done.

anything to keep me from working on my mid-year review stuff. friday, stay away!

a secret

this is my secret:
sometimes i like to read harlequin romance novels from the 70's. if you'd like to know more, i have a list of cool things about them. but i won't go into that now.

i can't sleep and i'd like to read one now, but i don't have any to read. it's time to go to the goodwill -- or st. vincents, my new favorite store.

i think st. vincent's had a furniture sale this weekend and i missed it. i should have gone straight there upon my return to buffalo today. i'm in the market for a sofa bed. but i'm picky.

i guess maybe i'll just hang around online for a while. or, i could read some serious literature. god knows there's enough of that lying around the house, most of it starved for attention.

whining section

dear paul,

i like the newness of the strip. the colors are pleasing and bring on the spring. huge super thumbs up on seeing who's online and who's logged in.

however. (hear my mother tone.) my puny old computer only has a static 640X480 screen and it took me AGES to figure out i had to scroll across for the login.

i do admit to my own stupidity. i just wanted to whine. now that i know where it is, there' s no reason to change it.
