The Dead Leaves

just no time to blog these days. Work has gone crazy. We've got a title that were finishing up and I have so much on my plate. Feast or famine, as they say. Band practice on Monday was really sweet. Everyone agreed upon The Dead Leaves for our name so that's out of the way. We have a working arrangement for "girl shaped hole" so we can play it all the way through, and we worked out some 3 part harmonies. Katie's tune sounds awesome. I'm getting better at playing and singing and standing. I wish we could play more. But other than that it's just work work and work. 11 hours a day minimum, although the hours from 5-8 are pretty chill. I haven't had the time to think much on politics or international news... Kinda miss it. Gonna take the GRE in March or June. I think I'll put in a good effort studying. One thing I learned from teaching the SAT is that these tests can be nailed with practice. I hung out with Jason and Sahsa over the weekend. It was pretty cool but we didn't do much. There is a baby grand bellow my attic and Jason's old guitar was freshly strung. They made some sweet music which had me longing a bit for the old pharmacy days. Speaking of Pharmacy I thought of another cool band name: The Pill. Claudia will be here soon. I've kept that off the blog because there is so much to say and so much that is private and so much emotion. But it's just a week away and I'm pretty knocked out about it. It'll be great to have no responsibilities for 1.5 weeks so I can enjoy her visit maximally. I'm growing accustomed to not having money. I'm begining to think I'll live a large part of my life in relative modesty, and I'm coming to terms with that. I don't wanna spend my youth chasing money, I want to chase something else, so that perhaps in my maturity, the money will chase me.
