diane and i are going up to nyc this saturday to play buddyfest, the final show of nakatomi plaza - a band i have been friends with for the ten years of their duration. this should be a nice trip. we have a new song that we did not finish yet. i had the idea of possibly calling it "disclaimers be damned," dealing with issues of people who rely on one sentence or two to discount or make okay lots of their behavior to the contrary.

i have been reading some zen buddhism books lately. i find a lot of peace in things that the dalai llama has to say. i am fairly sure i spelled that wrong.

i feel proud of the lyrics we have worked on. regardless of where i live and where diane lives in the next year, i would like to and i think we are committed to, making and recording a full length.
