Open Mic (2/15/09)

Wednesday, February 18, 2009

So a TON of people came to this one! Made me quite happy.  Thank you for instigating, Rachel! And thank you for coming Sarah, Jill, Neal, ESandra, and Nathan.  My brother and my good friend Joel were up this weekend, because it was a long weekend, and so they played their own open mic […]

So I started reading this Tom Robbins book, Still Life with Woodpecker

Sunday, February 1, 2009

Read this. I’ve tried to keep a little bit of the story in the excerpt without detracting from the meat of what I’m getting at, because the character of the book is just so charming. That being said, don’t get distracted.  Also, this quote is pulled from a couple of different sections of the book, […]

Open Mic (1/25/09)

Monday, January 26, 2009

So this open mic went really well.  And Alana (cool bartender) asked me if I’d be interested in playing a Thursday night show at Conor Byrne sometime in the future.  Where do I sign?

Open Mic (1/18/09)

Monday, January 19, 2009

So I had to solo it at Conor Byrne this week, which was a little bummerish after playing so well together last week.  I made the best of it, though I think last week sounded ten times better.
Song list:

Album of the Year (Good Life cover)
Reasons to Disappear (Luke Messimer cover)
Creep (Radiohead cover)

I was not feeling […]

My Assignment for IMT 540A. This is ridiculous, sentimental drivel. I love it.

Monday, November 17, 2008

Hansel is taking a walk along Golden Gardens Beach in Ballard, as he often has since coming to Seattle, remembering the amazing times he and his wife and kids used to have at Bondi Beach in Sydney.  It’s one of the few sunny days he’s seen this late in the fall, […]

I’m Going to Japan, March 14-28, 2009

Thursday, November 6, 2008

Awwww yea. I’ll pass along the det’s by sending you to this fine website that details the journey:
http://2009japan.edublogs.org/.
Anyhow, kind of expensive, but kind of awesome. My first choice would have been India (http://2009india.edublogs.org/), but apparently there was so little interest from all those wanting a comfortable, less-adventurous and/or socially responsible trip that the India one […]

Sometimes, I’m Wrong

Monday, March 24, 2008

Sometimes, I’m proven wrong. I like to think that all those ridiculous magazines with pictures of bulky men, promises of better sex, and tips on eating healthy are just full of bullshit that only is really applicable to you if you’re a total a-hole/d-bag (notice the absence of any actual curse words?).
However, apparently I am […]

Spontaneous Combustions of Elation

Friday, February 8, 2008

I’ve been overworking myself for maybe several months now, and since I have always placed my happiness in the hands of successful deep relationships with the opposite gender, something I currently don’t have, I have been somewhat adrift as to where I am to focus my pursuits.
However, sometimes I have what I like to call […]
