I keep writing posts, a sentence at a time, and erasing them before I ever finish a paragraph. Everything I could mention suddenly seems very irrelevant, filler material.I'll be back. I didn't mean to disappear in the first place.

So my DVD came in the mail sometime this weekend - which was not checked until someone realised this morning that the box was getting kind of full - and then I had to wait a whole workday to watch it because I had less than half an hour left until my shift started when aforesaid realisation was had, BUT...It was so, so worth it.

Finally saw The Lion The Witch and The Wardrobe tonight, and have to admit: it was a lot better than I thought it would be - especially for its PG rating.You should watch it.I've also been listening to a lot of Eisley's old tracks. All of which make me want to go out and sing somewhere in an attempt to emanate such awesomeness. Not in a lame jealous way, though... it's really more of an

I'm having a serious issue with this. It's rediculous.I had a myspace account for a while - before it totally exploded into the pop world and became a phenomenon. And never did anything with it. It was really cool having my favourite bands as "friends" but, honestly, the program really kind of sucked - so I deleted my account.But now, everybody on the planet "has a myspace". And, consequently,

Yeah. I really miss being able to blog every day. Unfortunately, I have recently come to the realisation that it's quite possible that my life really isn't that interesting - right when it should be getting to the interesting point.I'm just another person, living just another life, just as messed up as the next guy, and just as in/significant to someone else.Hopefully I can get to the bookstore

Life comes at you fast...So, my new job at Starbuck's is cool. Most of the people I work with are nice, and it's amazing how many regulars there are.I can't believe this month is already about to end. The Lady's birthday came last week - and I actually went to a party for her with a bunch of people I didn't know, by myself. I mean, I was the only one of my family who went.It was at a bowling

So, I was going to write a very long post about how all my real wishes for Chanumas weekend came true, and Seth and Arley being engaged, and how I felt like Ralphie from A Christmas Story when I shredded the beautiful paper that hid my newest joy... But then, I found this quote. And it's quieted me for now."I want you to know me in the right way. Nothing surface. Nothing glammy, Only in complex,

So, I went shopping last weekend with The Lady. And I got everything I needed except stocking stuffers - which Pops and I got at a CVS yesterday on the way home from my second job. (which is a Joe Versus the Volcano-esque soul-destroying building where they pack southwestern themed touristy things and send them off in baskets and cellophane for Christmas, but I'm doing someone a favour and the

It hasn't set in quite yet.Although we put up a tree tonight...We'll decorate in the morning.This year's gone by so fast,It's been hard to keep up with everything.I work at a clothing store now, in a mall.The theatre was too far away.... Even though I did love it.Now I'm doing a lot less for a lot more.Which isn't a bad trade, but it takes some getting used to.I'm reading Lewis' Space Trilogy. In

Well, I survived. I got there early and they let me thread projectors for an hour, which was very cool. I love it up there.The rest of the day was pretty gosh dang slow. I was in concession, and there were not very many people visiting the theatre at all.Unfortunately, since I am used to my chuck's, my feet were killing me by the time it was over.Oh well.At least, thus far, I have been treated

Well, I'm not dead. Just in case anyone in this small, small world wondered.The Small One is sick. Don't know yet if it's the flu or just a sinus infection... pretty sure it's the latter... In any case, we're having chicken soup for dinner.Jack's is Who's Next, so go check that out. It's pretty amazing.We saw Zathura on Saturday night. ...I want to watch it again.Starting work back at the theatre

All right, so I got a haircut on Wednesday and now I have what might be called long bangs. I have not had bangs since I was like six, or something and I am seriously not a fan of salons.. But, happily, it turned out nice. I now look like the seventies reject I am on the inside. Number three's photo credit goes to Apollo, who was bored and decided to take pictures of me while I was doing stuff

It's much too late for me to be up. But I don't think I could sleep peacefully right now. And I'm burning a cd that I hope will help that, but I don't know if it'll work.Sometimes I just wish I could run until I can't move anymore. I'm not really sure what causes this complete restlessness inside of me, it's like all the turmoil and confusion of being forced to grow so fast just wells up

The "Listening" section in the sidebar has been both moved and changed to "Current Mix" - because I am always listening to so much music that it's impossible to put up just a few, and I have always had a love for making mixed CDs.I'm sorry I've been so long in posting - but I have seriously not had time to catch my breath since my birthday.

I ask you: how am I seriously supposed to decide which one to listen to first?This morning I walked into a living room with little red balloons that had the words "Happy Brthday" printed on them with a very fat sharpie by The Small One herself - who handed me the first season DVDs of...

Last Friday, since Apollo spent Friday night and Saturday over with The Guys, Dancer Girl and I walked to the Starbuck's around the corner. On the way there, we saw this, very unique, graffiti. We were there for just under an hour, sharing earbud headphones and doodling with markers in a notebook.It was nice. We got some really strange looks, I'm sure we were definitely "a spectacle", but we had

Yeah. We all have it, except Apollo. Some kind of sinus infection or cold or something. But I'm not posting to complain about that.I'm posting to notify my small circle of the world that your life cannot ever be complete unless you go here and treat your sanity to "Radio" and "Death on Two Legs". The awesomeness of which goes beyond words and absolutely blows my mind.

She didn't come in when we got to the house. Just said goodbye and took her car and went home, promising to return to help us finish shopping later.When she had gone, I told Dancer Girl to go lay down, Apollo to chill out for a while, set the oven to preheat, took off my shoes, lay on my bed, and headphoned Jack's Mannequin's Kill the Messenger, Rescued, and MFEO in the dark.

(scroll down or check the sidebar for part one)After lunch we hit Old Navy for a black v-neck shirt. And I got Apollo a hat. They had these funny argyle notebooks - I almost bought one for Dancer Girl. But she has a notebook right now, and I was conserving cash.Dad called when we walked out to say something about how he'd renewed the tags on the Jimmy, and he was going to replace them for us, so

My usually-under-control acne seriously took a major turn for the worse because of the stress.That morning, I talked to RD. He'd called a few weeks before to have me probe the birthday guy for present ideas. Which I did and reported faithfully.But anyway, I called him to see if he'd got anything

She was here, she was okay… He watched her tear a piece of his mother’s delicious bread as the second loaf made its way around the table. He almost laughed as he watched her stare at it a moment; she was thinking, but not about the bread. “Hey, where’s Ben?” She asked. “Wasn’t he supposed to

The combined extreme bodily fatigue and insatiable mental appetite which I am currently experiencing is something to which I hope no reader of this blog can relate.I've sketched out the bones of four songs over the last three days. My brain is so tired, and so unwilling to stop... It's like - like the day continues in my dreams at night. I literally dream the same things I do during the day. But

Is the colour of my fingernails today.Everything In Transit is absolutely incredible. I don't know if I really have a favourite song yet... I'm sure it will switch many times over the next week. Kill the Messenger and (of course) Dark Blue come to mind at the moment. But I'm sure I could report differently an hour from now. I think there is a line or a note in every song somewhere that speaks to

I'm funny. Apollo says I'm funny. That is just weird, because I really don't envision myself as funny, unless I'm trying to be, in which case - let me tell you - I am hilarious.He says that everything I do is funny, the way I sit, stand, say things, whatever, is funny. And he actually laughs.I'm not really sure if I'm happy about that. The fact that, of all things and all people, I had to be

Sitting here, midday, in my lounge pants and Evanescence shirt I begin to wonder...Apollo posted something the other night about being stuck, and you should read it because it's much better than anything I could have written.Everything is so weirdly dull. You wouldn't believe the high I got from Mr. McMahon's blog post this morning. I find myself fantasizing about what interesting things might

Listening & singing: Something Corporate.Well, I sang what I have so far for Apollo yesterday. He said it was cool, but that he could tell I've been practically brainwashing myself with Something Corporate. He laughed at me for that, but I told him: It's what I do.I had to explain the process to him:When I start listening to something a lot, it probably means I'm writing a song.Crayons and

I think I went to bed too early. *laugh*I'm pretty sure it was sometime around ten thirty. That's the first time in at least a week. I was up until one thirty the night before finishing Sister of the Dead - which kicked butt by the way. I can't wait for the next Noble Dead book.On to Dracula for the moment. And I'll have to get down to Bookman's or Barnes and Noble at some point for Rama II.Oh

Yesterday we left the house just after noon.We made two stops, Trader Joes for some wine to take to our final destination (while we were there I got some of this, it's not very hot - but it tastes pretty dang good, despite phenylalanine. (say that five times fast.)), and then a sports store because my father had nothing to swim in.We spent the majority of the rest of the day in a salt water pool

Andrew McMahon, incredible pianist and frontman for Something Corporate and Jack's Mannequin, of whom my keyboard is a namesake, was diagnosed earlier this year with Acute Lymphatic Leukemia.I don't know how it took me so long to find out.He's supposed to get better, so I've got my fingers crossed.

Well, I'm back... Again.And much better for the wear, believe it or not. I had such a busy weekend, we put The Small One's room back together after painting her bed and desk an airy lavender and putting up fabric boards of a matching purplish marble stuff.Sunday we were out all day with the rest of The Clique. It was freaking awesome. We watched Batman Begins, and then hung out at Starbucks

Listening: The All-American Rejects new album Move Along. I'm pretty sure this album has cemented them as one of my favourite bands. Tyson "You'd-Swear-He's-Tom-Welling's-Brother" Ritter has a great voice, and Nick Wheeler's thousand touches of unconventional and captivating sounds is, well... captivating. The only downside: The Small One is completely in love with "her man" Tyson, so I have to

Garden State. Wow pretty much sums it up.In complete honesty: This film really hurt me the first time around. I mean really. I thought about it while I was making dinner after the credits rolled, and later sitting on my bed.I thought more... Long and hard and real thoughts, like the kind I haven't had in a long time. And after a while, I cried. It was only a little bit, but I did.It made so

Listening: Something Corporate - Home... It's one of my current dreams to cover "I Won't Make You" or "Ruthless" someday.Okay, so I've been totally MIA (and I don't mean my literary alter ego) for quite nearly a week. Again.But, in that time, I have been the most freaking awesome big sister who gives late birthday presents and therefore prolongs the fun of birthdays; a singer/keyboardist/lyricist

Well, actually, today and tomorrow; we aren't going today because Friday is one of my Dad's busiest work days.

The storms are finally coming. The only weather cooler (heh, literally) than monsoon season is winter. Around here, anyway. And last night I fell asleep to the sound of rolling thunder, for the first time this year, and in this house.It was so cool. I can hear it so well in my room.Actually, I should be going to bed soon, now that I think of it, but my Dad is still out working on a store they've

I can't sleep right now and I have The Donnas', Fall Behind Me from their newest album (Gold Medal) stuck in my head. The video for it is pretty cool though, I think I'm going to put it as the next one in the sidebar.And, okay, fine... We actually set down as decent a recording as we can possibly get with our current equipment of "Crayons and Telescopes" today. And, you know what? It didn't sound

You see, there's this sort of unsettled issue that we've all been talking about since the beginning: the question of whether we want a female vocal lead or just male comes up nearly every time we get together.Apollo and I have been

Okay, I was seriously skeptical about the new ones. I mean, bigtime, being quite ecstatic over the fact that they showed the first two episodes of the original 70's show first. And hearing that the new Starbuck was a girl... I almost didn't watch it. Starbuck was my favourite of the original characters, competing only with a very small pre-Atreyu Noah Hathaway as Boxey.But, anyway, I have to

I didn't take this picture, I found it with Google because we forgot to take the camera.We went to Castles and Coasters this weekend. I have not been to a theme park in years. And it's been, like, a decade since I went to Castles and Coasters and did anything more than kick zombie butt in the arcade.

Listening: The Pixies - Allison ... Man, this song just sounds funny.Changed the song. We used this one to make a home-video for my Mom for Mother's Day. It wasn't a huge deal to us, but apparently it hit the mark because, last I heard, she watches it every day before going to work.We watched The Boy In The Plastic Bubble a couple nights ago.

Dad's week-long experiment started Monday.He calls it "Switch Week".Apollo is in charge all week. He's supposed to make sure everything gets done and stays in order. An interesting idea. Threw me for a loop Monday night, since Dad had forgot to mention it until the evening and I had to switch gears from master to puppet/voodoo doll in a split second... Transitions like that just don't sit well

Just joking. I felt like quoting Radiohead.Watching & Listening: Evanescence - Everybody's Fool... Cause "There's nothing better than a good Lie".So, we spent the day at the Hammerstons yesterday. All day jam session. You should have seen all the music equipment we took. And we didn't even take everything we have here... My Dad said it looked like we were going to a gig. It was so awesome

Look at this! Why? I walked away for five seconds to come back to this. Apollo's cat, Sassy, drinking the milk from my cereal bowl. She is so evil. Of course, Apollo and Mickey just laughed. Everyone's just out to make me miserable I guess.I also built an art blog for myself today. Where I'll post photography, and digital art (most of which begins with photography), and maybe some random weird

Saturday and Sunday we had a yard sale. It was so hot. And I mean that in the literal sense of the word. Weirdly, we sold a good eighty percent of the stuff we put out, which was good. I should have got a picture of these two disgusting eight-foot cabinets we marked free - we called them the Twin Towers. And they were the last thing to go on Sunday. You'd think someone would have wanted them

They were just so impatient to eat the cake that I didn't get a great picture of it. But, it tasted pretty darn good - if I do say so myself.Apollo has been so busy with his present that I haven't been able to take a good picture of it yet (at least, one without him in it). But I'll tell you what it was: A Fender Stratocaster. And a Vox Amp. The Strat is standard, black rosewood with a white

One and a half down, two to go. I've been up since five. Dad woke me up late. Apollo got himself up, so I didn't get to wake him up with Enya like Trekkie wanted me to. Dangit. He hates Enya.

Okay, if you know me - or have spent about ten or twenty minutes in actual conversation with me - you probably know that I do not wear things like the barrette (bobby pin, whatever) shown at right. I just don't. I haven't since I was, like, eight.So, since I don't have any and my sister can never find any of hers, I asked my Dad (who went to the store this evening to get the stuff for Apollo's

Well, that's all folks. Star Wars Episode III - Revenge of the Sith was by far the best of the prequel trilogy. But it definitly had it's ups and downs.I personally think it's impossible to compare the trilogic halves of the series. Because there really is no comparison. The originals were so incredible that they made film history (Empire containing the most famous line in film history to date)

Caught Rushmore on TV tonight. I really do love that movie, and I still can't figure out why. Mickey had never seen it before, and he loved it. (He officially wants to be like Max, which I'm not exactly sure is really a good thing.) All of the characters are richly well developed on their own through the actual script, each one needing to "wake up in some way" (as Apollo so eloquently put it) to

I'm so silly.I feel so sad right now, for so many sad little reasons. And so childish for writing about it here.I miss being little, I really do. I miss being a part of The Neverending Story...

Listening: Yellow - by Coldplay. Great song.Friday took forever to get here this week. Seriously. It feels like it's been a month already since Mickey arrived. Likely because it feels like he's always around anyway with as often as we talk about him. I guess that isn't a bad thing.Three names always come to mind when Apollo and I discover something we really like. Mickey, Master Phantom, and

I loved this movie. It was so incredibly bizzare that it started to make sense. Beginning to end, I couldn't believe they'd let it into theatres, seeing as a lot of things that are actually funny without being "bad" don't make it. The whale and the flowers in the pot were awesome - and Marvin actually used some of my brother's regular lines. If you need to laugh, watch it - even if you find the

They just make me happy, okay? Maybe it's the California in my blood.Mickey arrived this past weekend, and good times have ensued. He somehow makes ordinary days interesting. It's the whole "Oh no, what is he going to do today?" thing that is always in the back of your mind. Sort of the same way I try to guess what I'll say to Elite Boy (The Computer Nerd) that freaks him out - he's so easy to

“Hmm?” She set down the paper, her smile softened when she looked at him. “Oh, they’re here.” She grinned again at the sight of her parents coming up the rain-washed drive. “I’ll get it.” She turned back to him—already halfway to the door.He laughed again. “Okay. Good luck.” The laugh under her voice was enough that he knew even they didn’t expect her.“Marie?!” Mrs. Lancaster’s smiling voice

By Gene Stratton PorterGood book. I read this one a while back, probably when I was about fourteen. It's a nice young girl's story, and the imagery is beautiful. In fact, I don't think I realised how much I took from it for a chapter in my own novel, which takes place in a field of butterflies, until I read it again.It's a quiet read, a grown up Secret Garden-like real-life fantasy of the sort

Listening: Death Cab For Cutie - Transatlanticism... I discovered them today, already planning to get their album.I am so tired. I don't even know why. I mean, it's not like I do very much...

The solo that I would like to call the reason I am teaching myself guitar is in that song.

I've been working on this post since last Thursday! Since which time I have finished a book besides this one - but that's a different post.I heart Venus Prime, seriously. The ending will drive you up the wall, but by the time you finish you'll either have a headache, or think the whole of the six book journey was worth the conclusion. And, in either case, you'll wonder why there isn't a seventh

And I want this...How To Love A Geek Girl - A fun article. Some parts are scarily true.The Geek Code -Takes a while... But it is -if nothing else - interesting.
