how fucking awesome Serge Gainsbourg is.

today I remembered.

you should go listen to some Serge Gainsbourg.

that is all.

ok people…

ADIEU is NOT the same as ADO.

If you say without further adieu, you sound like a fucking idiot… strike that, you sound like a PRETENTIOUS fucking idiot.

Please stop it.

Now, back to your regular scheduled feeds…

Rah and I had a nice night, even though she’s feeling crappy..

I’m a little salty ’cause she’s leaving tomorrow for the weekend.

Secretly, I’m kind of excited to get some work done.

…and play some video games.

Oh, on the off chance that someone reads this that I haven’t actually talked to in a while, Sarah and I are getting married this summer.

werd.

I’ve had a horrible day. Felt sick all day, and just completely out of it. I’ve been surly and bitchy.

But that’s all changed now, thanks to Rodney Anonymous.

Ah, so much better now.

Sarah leaves in about an hour for a week.
lame.

Dom gets to Chicago in about two days for almost a week.
awesome.

Now, if only I wasn’t spending every free second sitting in front of the computer…

ugh.

I think Liberation Frequency by Refused might be one of my favorite songs ever.

Also, I’m listening to Parliament’s Chocolate City right now.

Ha… different by a letter.

Awesome.

-Amazon Prime is pure genius. I know damned well that I’m paying a flat rate to force myself to buy more stuff… and yet I can’t help myself. I have a hard time buying things from anywhere else. Stupid Amazon and stupid me (or.. smart Amazon and smart me…)

-Chicago is fucking cold. I know that this is not news or anything. I forget sometimes, though just how cold it is. When I’m sitting out at the bus stop for 20 minutes waiting for the bus, I remember. Holy crap do I remember.

-I suck at keeping in touch with people. People that I care about and miss. I will literally remind myself everyday to get in touch with Ben and Jape… and I have yet to do it. It’s been months. WTF.
Okay… I took five minutes to email both of them. whew, that’s slightly better.

-I’m getting married this year. At some point. It makes me laugh, because last weekend was our 9 year anniversary. Hilarious.

Excellent excellent.

At quitting smoking.

Actively seeking ideas.

Yeah… i don’t normally write this much about classical music…

When I was at the CSO yesterday, I saw that Pierre Boulez is going to be conducting a couple of shows (symphonies? what’s the right word here?) there throughout the year.

I know, awesome, right?

Wait… who the fuck is Pierre Boulez? Well, in addition to being a contemporary composer and conductor [source], he happens to be my dad’s favorite composer. (Also of note, he conducted Zappa…)

So, couple quick phone calls to the family and it looks like my dad is going to be coming out to see a show!

Awesome!

I went to the symphony today.

Weird.

Here’s what I learned.

Tchaikovsky was gay.
When he was writing his 4th symphony (which is what they were playing today) he decided to get married. Kinda for the hell of it.
He got fan mail from some chick. She essentially said “Marry me or I will kill myself.” Tchaikovsky was like, “Okay. I love the life I have, but Ive been feeling kinda selfish.. So, sure let’s get hitched.”

Weird.

Next concert on my agenda: Earth Crisis reunion show.

Fucking hilarious.
