Saturday

As of yesterday, I officially have no job! That disappointment was only slightly eased by piƱa coladas and beers by the pool. As you already know, I'm in the process of looking for work - to no avail. For the time being I will be selling old text books, posting random objects on Craigslist, and donating plasma. Oh and this stupid Fray ticket, it's stuck to me like a piece of static-y plastic - I can't seem to get rid of it! If anyone wants to buy it from me, please let me know; the concert is on Friday, July 24.

We're still trying to rent out the property in Denton. A person called, but he bailed twice! Why?! I mean, I understand the first time; however, once we arranged to meet again, he bailed the second time and never returned our calls. Strange, strange people in this world. Of course that put us in a terribly nasty mood, having had to drive out there twice. I'm talking about my mother and I. We bickered all the way home. Stressful.

In other pleasant news, Daniel is moving next Wednesday. It should be fun to see what his new place is like. Also, apparently their new album is almost finished! More than 5 songs I haven't heard - that is quite exciting and I can't wait to get a copy. I've said this to him before, but Violent Still Life is indeed one of the better projects he's been involved in. Did I say better projects? I meant ridiculously awesome and good.

I just found out Daniel's friend Hubbs is attending Pitchfork Music Festival in Chicago! Ugh, jealous. The lineup is freaking amazing - especially Sunday's, which explains why tickets for that day are sold out. I adore the Flaming Lips. And Mew. They have a new album coming out with the craziest title -

No more stories
Are told today
I'm sorry
They washed away
No more stories
The world is grey
I'm tired
Let's wash away


Ha, brilliant. And not only that, two of their track titles are pictures, not words. Below is a short and sweet song from their first album. I'm not actually that jealous of Hubbs. Daniel and I are going to try to make ACL this year. It will be my first time. Friday's lineup is looking pretty tasty.
