mood: nihilistic music: '(straight down to the) bitter end' by yo la tengo

another slow sunday. i managed to do nothing productive today, and i'm glad, because i rarely get to do that anymore.

yesterday i was forced into a visit to the dentist, and much to my surprise i had no cavities at all. i was so happy; i think that was the first time i've never had cavities. usually my trips end up with a prick of a needle and a few fillings. i hate needles. hate. ergo, i hate the dentist because he always uses those pointy harbingers of health. eww, health.

also yesterday i got to return to mulholland drive, this time with a few friends. the view was as breath taking as ever: the famous l.a. pollution gave the city lights a glimmer, kind of like a million orange twinkling stars. nevertheless, i was feeling down, and so was chris. the only one's who didn't seem blue were kristy and andres, but i guess they have each other.

i got a photo from allison's mother, mrs. gayton. i was surprised, because i rarely get my picture taken nowadays, unless it's my birthday and the photographer is my own mom. here it is:


sorry for the crappiness of the photo. it seems that this is one of only two pictures taken that night. on the right is andres, the bassist, and partially covered on the left is sergio, the drummer. not shown is chris, rhythm guitarist extraordinaire. this was taken during andrea's birthday party at allison's house on september 6, 2004, just before the song in which i broke a string soloing: 'cherub rock'. you can see that liquidally, i was well prepared; my amp has 3 bottles of water and a extra tall mug of coffee on it.

jeez, that was taken the weekend after the first week of school. it seems so long since then.

so things are winding down again, and i'm being forced to deal with another week of school. i got my mid-semester progress report on friday: 3.12, which is a mortal sin to my parents. they don't fully realize that this year matters least, and there are plenty of chances to raise that grade (if i absolutely have to). i think i will though.

ack. school.
