i love home lately. it must have something to do with the steady supply of free pot that has been making it through our apartment. the stuff is so potent in california that i forget the rest of the world and become so consumed by whatever i'm doing, whether it be writing, catching up on the fall 2008 runways, staring at at the idiot box, or making magical/mystical compilations on itunes. i had the best drive today after me and this guy from work went onto the roof and got stoned. at some point i was driving down beverly blvd, where it has all these curves, and i was so entranced by the haunting song i was listening to (till the bitter end by magnetic fields) that for i moment i forgot where i was and where i was going. it was a really cool feeling. i'm so ready to make music, i just wish my bandmates felt as inspired as i've been. and no that is not a euphemism for being high, i mean i really feel so motivated and creative right now. i just bought this record player on a whim. literally, one moment i was on craigslist, a half hour later i am listening to autumn leaves, which i haven't heard since i was probably about 21. anyway, going back to the magnetic fields, i am obsessed with their new album, distortion. i didn't notice this before but i have been really into distortion lately. i wish puppy dog could have distorted guitars but i realized that i banned guitars from our music. it's good to the mastermind behind a group project...there is no limit to things you can ban or incorporate.
