1. i hate the spurs. i like the suns. i just read about one of the guys comparing a game-winning shot to hamlet. i really wish they'd win.

2. i can't believe i'm watching the nba playoffs - and not only that, i'm yelling at the tv in the bar. sheesh.

3. i worry that i'm getting boring.

4. i have to write a good article on built to spill by tomorrow and i don't know how inspired i am.

5. i keep waking up grumpy and i don't know why. the only thing that helps is J.

6. i'm totally cheating on diaryland.

7. i have been doing at least 20 bicycle crunches a day and i think it's actually helping.

8. now i need to use that method to get myself writing. not music writing, real writing.

9. i need a fucking vacation. and thankfully my stepmother just asked yesterday if we wanted to go to the coast for the 4th of july weekend. YES, please.

10. i wish i'd been in new hampshire last weekend.

11. but hanging out with a friend from the olden days at a late night party after my friends' bands played wasn't too bad, as a consolation prize.

12. i really want a food processor so i can make sauces. a cuisinart mini-prep plus, please. and also the rock snob's dictionary and emma forrest's cherries in the snow and ian mcewan's saturday. i had a really hard time not spending a stupid amount of imaginary money on amazon yesterday.

13. can someone come over and help me rearrange my work space? thanks.
