pharm life.

5 years! i'm grinding down my teeth
refilling this town's sanity.

i'm on the front line of this war.

girl power.

I've been listening to a lot of female-fronted bands lately, thanks to mike.

After seeing them at the Stone Pony, Lemuria has been on my mind and in my headphones. They have some really awesome (instrumental) parts if you listen carefully. Not too shabby.

Slingshot Dakota is another band. With only a keyboardist and a drummer, the duo rocks hard. Honest lyrics and cool progressions.

Hop Along is awesome. The singer is so passionate and she has a great range. The emotions that bleed out from her singing is incomparable and their 11 minute song "Second Voice" displays the band's musical potential.

Check out all these bands.

dreams about water.

wave after wave. each bigger and taller than the next. i think i've been here before. this exact beach. this exact place. digging for shells in the sand only to be washed away again and again. buried deeper and deeper by the gushing water.

this is the third or fourth dream involving water within the last two weeks. i'm fascinated.

one mllion miles an hour, fast asleep.

things have been good lately. i feel like i'm entering a new phase of life (and with 21 less than a month away), maybe subconsciously that's why. i'm really excited about what the next few months hold for me and people i know. new music is on the way and for the first time in a long time, i am genuinely excited and confident beyond belief (maybe after a few pep talks).

the months have been going fast. unusually fast. for someone who hasn't been at school since december with graduation and all, it feels like forever. oddly, it feels like i went to work more during the school months and finding this second job seems impossible (i'll admit i'm lazy).

i'll look back at this time line and smile.

stumble overload.

kill my compass.

I had a case of musicbrain last night, first time in a while too. the cold draft creeping in through the windows and ice rain didn't help either or my [classic] music ideas coming to me right up to 3am. also one of those instances where I was pretty hungry but either too lazy or too tired to act on it. SO MUCH MUSIC ON MY MIND.

cabin fever!
