snow day

it's incredible how quick misery crosses over into beauty, and vice versa... 

"it's amazing just to know you're alive".

even this snow storm: miserable, beautiful. even me, even you: miserable, beautiful, 

miserable, and beautiful again, and then miserable again.

i have my first snow day since school days. i came home and put records on.

i finally put the imported russian sugar cubes in the little jar i washed weeks ago 

(they are just like american sugar cubes...just russian...maybe less sweet?)

i'm listening to the Nana Grizol record, LOVE IT LOVE IT, for the second time. i saw them when elephant six came through,

i'd say nana grizol is my favorite new band of 2008. i believe everything they sing. and it sounds really good when i play it

really loud. it helps me forgive myself and assures that my secret hopes are good ones. i want you all to hear it, maybe

you'll come over one by one and we'll listen and drink tea with some of those russian sugar cubes i mentioned. sounds nice.

i put up my first window message just now. i'm cooking chickens legs in the oven.

i'm afraid this blog is sounding sad, just like when the person on the other line says

"you sound sad" but "i'm not really that sad, i just feel like kissing for 2 days straight".

"at least right now it's OK to take life in smaller doses"

i'm writing a new song and i feel pretty good about that.
