greenhouse hummer

gonna sing to the dead man
til he gets born again yeah
gonna laugh at the rich man
til i give it all away to him

gonna run in the desert
gonna float in the sand
gonna revel in this thirst
that's wrecking my kidneys again

gonna spin in the summer
of baking gases in the sky
gonna make my own
greenhouse hummer makes me high

shallow hearts make for shallow homes
but at least you can climb out again
cause love machine's a grave-digger
and she'll dig til chinese lands

you know china don't think,
she's just a tiger in a jam
she'll smash her porcelain dolls,
crack em like falun gong yeah

so shoot at the heavens maybe you'll hit something new
me i'll waste my time in the water, soaking blues

so shoot at the heavens maybe you'll hit god
and he'll say he's sorry for making you such a sod

gonna run in the desert
gonna float in the sand
gonna revel in this thirst
that's wrecking my kidneys again

gonna spin in the summer
of baking gases in the sky
gonna make my own
greenhouse hummer makes me high

pure nard music

my little label pure nard has got a myspace now. aaron devries and false heroics, repruzant!

30 hours, 30 pages.

i am going to write 30 pages of footnoted, grade "A" mega-essay material in the next 30 hours. i'm going to need some major willpower on this so let's all say a prayer and hope i come through with my brain still a little more solid than alphabet soup.
time for the countdown and supplies overview:
coffee: check.
fruit: check.
mounds of electoral reform academia printouts: check.
wikipedia: check.
iron will: check.

this is going to be the worst time of my life.
3, 2, 1. die... i mean, dive!

back from southern sunbathing

so we got back from the dominican republic yesterday. it was a swelteringly good time, i'd say. i ate too much, drank too little, got too much sun, and too little exercise! highlights were it being my honeymoon, autumn being gorgeous, and pina coladas. beaches and beach buggies get honourable mentions.

downtown puerto plata was a nice place. rundown buildings looking all third-world and colonial and whatnot, but so much cleaner and less stinky than bangladesh!

the wedding last saturday, was an amazing experience. really pulled off nicely, though there were some hiccups in the ceremony (autumn didnt say a couple of the responses, jared forgot to tie the knot in our handfasting ceremony, etc.) but the day was awesome. weather held out, food and accomodations and people came together, and it topped off with a nice party at the ford plant with some friends for the night.
