last night i went into the city to see calvin johnson and woelv (genevieve) and the microphones. i took the train and slept on the train. i met dina from prewar yardsale and david herman dune at the bedford stop on the L. and we went to this little cafe and then we walked to the place. it was at this awesome mexican restaurant place. we were early so david left and me and dina just hung out and talked. then alissa and sebastien (the germans) got there. and tae started djing. and andre and clemence and rachel lipson and camilla and david and dashan all came there. we danced. french and german people dance with me. new york kids don't dance so much at shows. i said hi to calvin and he said he might want me to be in some pictures for his new album. toddpnyc who set up the show asked me to play with calvin october 6th at the tank on 42nd and 9th. that will be fun. then i gave genevieve a tape of my song about giants because i wrote it for her and she seemed really happy. i like her and phil so much. they are just very very sweet kids. and they have beautiful songs. and beautiful art. when people are so inspiring i want to shower them with gifts. but i get a little shy. calvin played first and most of his set was the story about the dub narcotic van accident last year. i really liked hearing him tell it. i hadn't heard the story told before. i didn't know heather found him bleeding and unconscious in the street. whenever i think of coming to from almost dying i want to cry tears of joy that i didn't die, but then i feel this weird sadness. it is strange. i don't know. i like calvin. he is good. i am glad they are all okay. hearing the story made me more appreciative of his existence. then genevieve played. she seemed sad and tired. and i think the crowd was a little restless. calvin's story WAS like 45 minutes long and it was hot and crowded in there. she played a couple songs and then she played her song about giants for me. then she did a jacques brel song accapella and that made me cry. it was soooo intense. but then i could only stay for one of phil's songs because i had to catch the train home. so me and dina split a cab back to manhattan and i still missed the 11:58 train so i had to wait til 12:52. i called my buddy maxx, he goes to sva now, so he rode his bike there and waited with me. i curled up in a ball on the train and got home at 2am. i slept until 10:30, i never sleep that late. and arion called me. he said they are hard at work on a new 3eb album. he sounds like he is doing really good. that makes me happy. pretty much today i have been on and off the toilet all day. or sitting in the sun reading the red tent. i am doing this fast called the master cleanser. i haven't eaten solid food since sunday morning. i want to get all the sugar and cheese i have been eating and weird autumn sinus infection cooties out of my system and try to make it through the cold seasons without any medicine this year. i am trying to build a stronger place to keep myself. i am really surprised by how easy this is. i am going to try to last the full 10 days, which will suck on sunday when day 7 is my bbq, which i hope you are all at. hmm. but i might be at the point they describe as the peak of the bad shit coming out of you, where you shit mucous and get a thick coat of bacterial slime on your tongue, right before you are totally cleaned out! i might not want to eat. i am glad you are all invited to my house to see me at my grossest! it's gonna be fun as hell. okay, time to make some special potion and read about periods.
current mood:  hopeful
current music: i am listening to the new R.E.M. album on myspace (8 comments |comment on this)

11:44p - okay, better now.
i think dinnertime is rough. but now i am okay. i just drank my senna tea. you drink that to break up all the poop that is stuck to your intestinal walls. because their is no fiber in the lemonade stuff. then in the morning you drink a quart of seasalt water and the crap comes out you like a wannabe niagra falls. i have been coughing up some weird milky phlegm and i have some nice pimples! all the crud working its way out. amazing that i don't feel weak at all. a bit weak willed at times, but physically i feel great.
