Back in DC

Oh home again. The flight into National was alright, except I was late getting to the gate because I got some food and was slow about eating it. I was slow about eating it because the Peruvian behind the counter was chatting me up for a while. So I was late getting to the gate and the gatekeeper yelled at me and I got inside and sat down and they closed the doors and said please turn off your phones now. Then I realized I had forgotten my phone at the security checkpoint. Damn. Thanks to my company I now how a work phone, so I have been using that and I was able to talk to the Indy airport and they are holding my phone for me for when I get back.

So I signed my lease with Fountain Park earlier on Friday, it’s a nice studio by the woods. It’s a bit expensive, but it’s a nice place and it’s a quick walk to work, even quicker than what I do now. It’s also close to Marsh and the post office. I can walk everywhere, I don’t care if gas goes to $4. I also paid my brother’s deposit for IU. Originally he was going to go to Costa Rica with Miss Tara, but he’s gotten into some legal trouble. He and my dad think he should go to IU, the only place he got into, but my mom thinks he should stay at home and get some therapy. She’s totally gay for therapy, even though as far as I can tell she’s still fuckin insane. I guess she throws stuff less.

I have training on Monday through Friday. It’s in Columbia, so I have an hour commute each way. In high school, I used to work at a place in Columbia, so I am quite familiar with the drive. Learning to drive in the DC metro area was interesting.

I had Tara Thai today. It’s so fucking good. I wish I had been able to bring Tara, because come on, that’d be funny and I think she’d really enjoy it. I also watch the Wilco movie I am trying to break your heart. It was too long and too much of a Wilco wank fest. It made the Wilco guys seem really pretentious in my opinion. It was interesting to see them work though. All in all worthwhile.

It made me want to finish our damn record. It’s going to be good I think. I’m also excited about our new songs. It’s weird how certain songs just fit right into place, while you kindof have to massage others to work. I think this record is going to be really cool though. I want to try to get as many people to listen to it. I want people to sing along sometime. That’d be fun.
