For the last few days we’ve been ravaged by big storms ripping down trees and blowing up transformers (the boring kind). The older part of town, where at we live, is the most exciting part in that regard because everything is old and comes apart easily. On a jog yesterday I had to jump over fallen trunks and limbs and circumnavigate lake-sized puddles. Luckily the highway always stays on during outtages and it’s packed with fast food restaurants and wal-marts that’ll keep you plenty occupied any time of the day or night. I myself usually sit around and watch movies until my laptop’s battery dies. Then I just sit around. That’s how I saw The Happening. My goodness was that film ever terrible. I’ll miss the storms when I leave.

The good news is I’ll be headed to Washington this Saturday. BOOYAH! Gots a Southwest ticket in my sweaty hand, and my replacement Cybook arrived today! Great timing.

Unrelatedly, I stumbled across a great band called Foxy Shazam. If you’ve never heard of them, imagine The Blood Brothers, Showbread and Ben Folds having a massive orgy on stage. And if you’re not familiar with all of those groups, just imagine a brightly-lit and athletic orgy. Sexy right? Exactly my point. Check ‘em out here.

Hey, giggles.

I’ve been in Indiana for three weeks now, a week longer than I had planned when first arriving here. It’s only just now that I’ve tracked down someone who could say “do this and maybe this will happen”. Too late anyway. I’d already decided yesterday that I wouldn’t be returning to the UK.

So I’m teaching myself how to throat sing. I’m not so very stoked about the traditional applications of most throat singing as, for me at least, that music is almost unlistenable. But I have been studying it, trying to dissect the techniques. I figure it’s worth learning both for even more varied range, and to learn how to better control my throat. In practicing, I’ve also found it works the hell out my diaphragm and lungs!

For those who haven’t heard it yet, here’s the demo I did for Spoiled (Lethargy X) a few weeks back, with some lyrics for following along.

Look at all this new stuff! And now that you’re here, we may begin!

As always, I’m far behind updating. Now to a point such that I’ll have to leave a bunch of specifics out and just gloss over everything. Like describing the Sistine Chapel’s ceiling as decorative spackle. Though that’s not to say anything I’ve done lately has been beautiful. Unless you consider ass-punishing lasagna art. If so, read on!

WHAM!

Take it.

Haven’t posted in a bit because not a lot am been going on. Last week I’ve mostly been sitting around Dave’s apartment, internetting and watching TV. This past weekend saw some action though.
