i've been gearing up for the show saturday, and getting over the weekend. things were tense with dave and me, but we solved it monday. sunday night, taylor and i went down to the fireworks on the kentucky side of the river. we were to meet cathy (taylor's girl) and her friend (my "date"). turns out cathy brough eight of her friends, so i smoked and explored. did make an impression eventually, with a parasol and the theft of an orange traffic cone.

after the fireworks, cathy and her crew left rather abruptly, and it depressed taylor. we talked for a long time, and went to white castle. we hit a bar, and i got us a beer. we drank it in the alley behind a bar, smoking cigarettes, too. these two girls came down with this young kid, who was piss drunk. we made fun of him. the girls were fifteen. one was pilled up. we invited them to share our u-haul blanket. the drunk kid wandered off. this woman who we thought was a stripper kept walking by, and me, feeling in need of some disturbance, asked her if she was a stripper. turns out she owned the building, and kicked us out of her alley. the girls asked us to go with them, but then their boyfriends showed up, shooting us sharp glances and telling their girls that we were going to rape them. taylor and i then walked all the way back to fountain square, taking the bridge across the river. dad picked us up and gave us a ride to taylor's, where we played guitar, and then napped for two hours, before getting up to caddy.



yesterday i got my Ibanez Talman paid off, and took it home. it's damn sexy. pix are coming soon - it's black, with creme moto pickguard. also picked up a DS-1 from travis for $5. gonna mod it. today i played it for about seven hours. it's probably one of the nicest guitars i've ever played.



bekki called today. that made me happy. we talked for half an hour, and used up her phone card. so she didn't call her mum (On her birthday even!). but to bekki's cred, she talked to her mum the day before. i went for a walk, listening to the white stripes on the 'phones. sun was going down, it smelt of fat and fish - the smell of ivory soap (99 and 77/100 % pure), and it was cool, for the first time in months. autumn is so near. it's my favourite season, i s'pose.



i'm working on a new song. it involves pills, alleys, and crossing the street. heartpounding, dare i say? and the new story, it's about lots of things. i'm not sure how it ends. but on the good ones, i'm never sure.



i think that's it. but yes. party/show at my house. saturday. 8 pm. be there.
