also:
american food is TERRIBLE. everything is greasy. buns in burgers disintergrate from the grease. doves cry from the grease. it is the worst. will not eat here.
first few days in the you ess of aye.
ben nicely drove me to brisbane airport on the 11th. we hugged, i went inside and re-packed half of my stuff into the accordian and cymbal cases. some nice virgin blue lady seemed fascinated by this and offered to move me up to an earlier flight so that's what happened. i left at 3:30pm instead of 4pm. i passed katie and adrian as i was rushing to the gate. hi and bye.
flight was fine, finished michael clayton and started cheyenne autumn. got to sydney, found my way to international. made final calls to people, got a bit of US monies. i spent the last of my AU change on a chocolate bunny that somehow found its' way into my sinuses and i spent the rest of the trip with a tissue jammed up one nostril. SEXY. the flight was surprisingly solid. i watched jennifer's body (not that great), precious (intense and great), mad max (excellent) and the men who stare at goats (not bad but not really good). the food was alright too.
we got to LA, a bit disoriented but that's alright. found our way to the american airways terminal, checked in, got on our flight to dallas. we arrived at around 12:30am on the 12th of march. that's disorienting. we found the shuttle to our hotel and headed there with allllll our gear (lots). after picking rooms jord, joe, mark, jon and i walked up the road to the service station. i had a chicken burger from whataburger (not very nice) and a whole lot of water which ruled. came back, slept.
we woke up at 12:10pm on the 12th. we were supposed to check out at midday, oops. jon and mark were driving around dallas a bit lost so we took everything downstairs and took over the foyer for a while after checking out. then we went to guitar centre and bought nothing. then we went to another guitar centre and bought...wait for it...
...a 1966 ludwig kit, silver sparkle. 2 12" rack toms, 16" floor and 22" kick. AMAZING kit. it's actually ridiculous. broke the bank a little but it's...wow. amazing. we also splashed out and bought a 1970 ludwig snare, white pearl. such an insane snare. i was in drum gear heaven. also jord bought a gibson J45. do you realise how insanely good of a guitar that is? wow. seriously. amazing. we got bags and hardware for the drums too and decided then was a good time to leave.
we then went to this place called jason's deli and had dinner. it was real nice. they gave us free stuff because we torked funny. then we drove to denton and met up with morgan who is this rad girl we're staying/not staying with (some are staying there, others at another house). we hung for a while with her and her housemates lauren and carly. i think i got their names wrong except for morgan. we headed off to the party which was at this sweet old house on a street with all these massive plantation houses. pretty much the coolest street ever.
we hung out there, had pretty sweet pizza and pretty average light beer and then went back to the houses to sleep. i slept by the door on the floor with a little blanket and it was freezing. i was freezing. it was cold. freezing. i was cold. brrrr.
woke up this morning, started reading the fountainhead by ayn rand, got 26 pages in before getting picked up by the van with everyone else. then we got really lost for like 2 hours and showed up at the house of blues late for rehearsal. we set up, rehearsed, packed up and now i'm sitting here.
tonight is mavs vs. knicks. it will be amazing and i cannot wait.
more soon.

where is the question?
Sender: Joel Kenyon
Time: 4:39pm
Subject: Re: quick question...
the question is "what are your thoughts on the attachment?"
I felt that was implied.
Sender: Michael Haydon
Time: 4:42pm
Subject: Re: quick question...
implication suggests the parts you sent for me to assemble myself would yield an obvious query. this is not so. however, now having knowledge of what you were asking by sending me that clothed swine i can safely say: i am confused. pigs are not supposed to wear clothes.

i am terribly banked up with research on stanley kubrick, and a doubled-over napping possum trapped in the window fitting in front of me as i sit at this computer is also stealing most of my usable time. i encourage you to begin our journey toward answers and i will join you shortly.
