Please excuse the dust. It's been an odd few months since I've posted last. Allow me to give an update on my life as of late. I'll try to keep it brief.
Still working. Still loving it. Saving the world, one baby at a time.
I've moved out! That's right. Out of the parent's house save for a few odd pieces of furniture and boxes of books and photos (I'll squeeze them into my tiny little space at some point). I have a roommate, she's sweet as can be. Pays the rent and does dishes. Her great flaw... she talks during movies... a lot.
Austin City Limits was great. Abe flew in and we spent the weekend lounging in the heat watching some great shows with the smell of weed wofting in the breeze. Ben Kweller was a highlight and a lowpoint all at the same time. He started his set late due to a bloody nose which continued to bleed throughout his set. It was all down his shirt, all down his guitar, and after it covered the piano keys during a song halfway through the set he decided to cut it short. I think my favorite group was the flaming lips... Would you know what I mean if I said it made me feel like a kid just to watch it? Confetti cannons, dancing santas, crowd surfing in a giant hampster ball... it was fantastic. Other groups included John Mayer, Guster, the Shins, Nickel Creek, Thievery Corporation, Aimee Mann, Iron and Wine, Muse, Willie Nelson, Tom Petty, and more I can't remember right now.
For those of you who care to read, I suppose you care to know... Abe and I broke up. I've been asked several times if it was the distance, and although I wish it were just that (oh, what an easy thing to remedy), it did contribute but was not the paramount factor. I am heartbroken, as is he that it didn't work out. I'm not bitter, nor do I suppose any reason to be. He's been understanding and gracious in all of this. (sometimes I'd think it would be easier to walk away if had he been a jerk!) I did/do love him. At the beginnings of ends of relationships distance is generally accepted as beneficial. I can't be tempted to show up at his door. But in time I won't have the luxury of running into him and being forced to not be awkward. I'm losing a friend, and that has been the most painful thing of all. I just want to call and talk to him about how hard this has been. It's like wanting a cigarette to ease in the suffering of quitting smoking.
I have a habit of buying an album and playing somewhat relentlessly. I've had John Mayer's continuum for about a month now, and I suppose after I've set it aside it will always remind me of this time in my life. I'm trying not to wallow in it. |

| I know it's a bit early but...
I just bought 2 three-day passes for Austin City Limits... I was IN Austin this past year when this was going on (per hurricane evacuation) and I didn't get tickets. I shall not venture out in vain this year.
Check out the lineup
Care to join? Anyone?

| I was driving down 610 today and noticed a large patch of dirt and wondered to myself what they were building... then I recognized the overpass leading to the site with it's green railings and glass orb lamps...
anyone recognize it?
Astroworld has been leveled. Yeah yeah, old news. I knew it was being torn down, but I hadn't actually seen it. A world of childhood memories diminished to a few acres of sand. Sad day.
