| Texas
weather is sure screwed up. Last week it was bitterly cold and this week it's a balmy 75
degrees. I keep reading emails about people having to shovel snow and crashing their cars
into snowbanks, and all I can say is to move to Texas. You may develop a cold with all of
the weather changes, but you will never see any legitamite amount of snowfall. And anytime
the roads ice over, everything shuts down! Tonight we are going to see Henry Rollins at the Galaxy Club! Only
good things happen there. Amanda and I are going to ask him to pose for a picture with us.
I hear he's actually a really decent nice guy, so I'm hoping tonight will be a good night
for him and we can talk about Joe Strummer.
Last night I was looking at the lineup for
the South by Southwest conference this year, and I'm getting so excited! The Hi
Fives, Lo Fidelity Allstars, Right Said Fred, Pansy Division, The Donnas, Swirl 360,
Sparklehorse, a band from Manchester called Vietnam, Inc., Carmina Piranha from Portland
(sounds cute), MERCURY REV, and best of all ROBBIE WILLIAMS!!!
That is so going to be the entire justification for going down there, if the others
weren't enough. I missed Robbie last year at V98 when the stupid office didn't get the
Dandy Warhols' guestlist in time [grumble, grumble] but I'm not going to let this
opportunity go by unseized. It's just a matter of a simple drive to Austin and I'm so
hooked up.
I worked out yesterday. I rode an virtual
reality exercise bike for 2 miles. It felt like a video game and now my thighs and knees
hurt. I am so addicted to the bike though, I have to go back and ride more. I have class
tonight and tomorrow night until late, but Thursday when I get out of my English class,
you know where I'll be.
I think I'm breaking my addiction to my TV.
I forced myself to turn it off last night after the Simpsons went off and went into my
bedroom, which I spend zero time in other than sleeping, and organized some of my stuff.
When I woke up this morning, I was amazed at all the space I had and how much cleaner
everything was. I had piles of clothes scattered everywhere (still waiting on my bedroom
furniture from my parents) and yearbooks stacked up underneath photo albums and things
like that. Amazing what closet shelves can hold! Now to just borrow a vacuum from my
folks.
The sun is beating through my office
windows and I feel like taking a nap. Not good, considering I have classes and a concert
to go to tonight. I'm going to feel like crap in the morning. I just know it.
