Today.

Today I found out that Gary, a cool guy from whom we buy beads, was at one time an aspiring composer, has met John Cage and Phillip Glass and Lou Reed, has studied Indian music, and plays tabla drums. (I asked him if he remembered you, Karlyn...) It was cool to realize, yet discouraging to know that yes, one can get sidetracked and let their musical aspirations go and schlep beads for a lot longer than I already have. Anyway, our conversation was cool and it caused the better part of the last hour at work to pass rather nicely.

Today, I talked to r4c and agreed that the track for the Cumulus compilation is good to go. Yeeeah. He also informed me that our November gig has been moved to December. Gigs keep doing that to us for some reason. So, now we're on the lookout for something in the meantime.

Today, I took a book into the bath and realized a bit into Children of Dune that it is not the second book of the series, as I thought, but the third. D'oh.

Today, I found an old brochure for work-abroad programs, and rekindled my yearning to travel to Australia. This also slightly rekindled my dislike of being poor, but only a little.

Today, I resumed work on my Halloween costume, except it's not really going well, I'm not sure how to fix it, and don't know if I want to redo it. I may wanna do something else instead. I have another idea but I don't know how much I like it yet.

Today, my back still hurts. Damn.
