How Old Am I?
How Old Am I?
Wow. Complete black-out last night. Got way too wasted on my birthday. I don't remember leaving the bar, or coming home - but I also don't remember throwing up, so I guess that's a good thing.
Eh, my mom reads this journal. Maybe I shouldn't be telling you this. Heh... hi, Mom!
Speaking of birthdays, my friend Anné rawks. She bought me something from my wish list. Of course, it was Microserfs, the book I needed to replace since she stole my copy, but hey - I can't think of a better present. Thank you, dahlink.
So, I had to get up at 9 this morning to meet a government inspector to pass a job at work. I showed up, still tipsy and looking like ass, and this guy wants to explain EVERYTHING, in verbose detail, for an hour and a half. Bleh.
He was very weird. He hinted that he had a small penis. Smooth move, dude.
Free Music!
There are over 70 full songs (including covers, different versions of
originals with different bands, and more) available for download on the
lyrics/mp3 page. That's 300MB of ME. For
real, though.
And they're all free.

Scott Andrew LePera & I raised almost $1200 for the
Mr. Holland's
Opus Foundation by staying up for 24 hours straight as part of the
2003 Blogathon. We cowrote and recorded two original songs,
"Southdown" and
"Nothing
New," and blogged all about it on the
Pet Rock Star^s blog. Both songs are licensed under a
Creative
Commons deed. (We also won the 2003 Best Music Project, which is
really just icing on the cake considering how fun this whole experience was.)

Joi Ito asked me to write a song for Ben & Mena Trott (of
Moveable Type fame) for their birthdays in
September. I gladly accepted, and the result is
"You Own Dot Org," a somehow silly
and somewhat
serious song about their lives, taken mostly from their weblog archives.
• Request my music almost any time you'd like at
Whole Wheat Radio. WWR is run by Jim Kloss and Esther Golton
from a 12x12 cabin in Talketna, Alaska, and they're two of my most favoritest people in the whole world.
Archives, Etc.
