press on me: we are restless things


fact: work on wine & whiskey (lost count after shot 5) and 4 hours of sleep is a CHALLENGE. If one were so inclined, one might even refer to it  as "brave."

fact: reading sam pink's dementedly brilliant chapbook yum yum i can't wait to die on the el is a ridiculous effort in self-control. i'm sure i looked like the biggest asshole sitting and laughing to myself on the commute home, and it was the 2nd time i'd read it. more on that tomorrow.

fact: inauguration parties for a president you actually admire: (i solemnly swear) VERDICT GOOD. (you were worth every minute of gary, barry!) maren's veggie chili: VERDICT ALSO GOOD. free ticket to eddie's play @ the MCA this week: VERDICT VERY GOOD.

fact: minutes 11:57 - 16:53 of joanna newsom's 'only skin' give me goosebumps every single time, and i think that no other cluster of musical minutes can give me that same soaring kind of palpable, immediate joy. the moment bill calahan's voice chimes in with hers...ah.

        what'll i do with a trinket such as this?
             think of your woman, who's gone to the west
                   but i'm starving and freezing in my measly old bed!
                        then i'll crawl across the salt flats to stroke your sweet head

oh, and here's DJ Z-Trip, just wakin' up, you know, havin' a morning cuddle. Here's this doe-eyed fellow's trippy rad Obama mix download.

these posts are kind of schizo. you didn't care about continuity or anything, did you?
