today i want to clean. haven't pulled out all the stops (floors, windows, nooks&cranies) since living here. but i'm home and i'm not cleaning. i'm just thinking about cleaning and that seems to be just as good as cleaning. except that then my apartment isn't actually clean and i'll have to think about cleaning it all over again tomorrow. thinking about cleaning is actually more exhausting than doing the physical work. i should know--i've been thinking about cleaning for about 3 weeks now. i guess i should just roll up my sleeves and get to work.

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.

my new digital poem, ActiveReader is up and ready.

i'm feeling it.
this weekend was amazing.

conference so so
soundlab blew my mind
pink brought it home

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

you guys are the reason i love buffalo.

screw school -- i would leave if it wasn't for our community, this community here on the strip.

paul, you rock for bringing us together like this

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.
