wow. mike has made the first strip of his webcomic. he's also drawn quite a few character designs for himself, vijay, joe, and me. i have a shirt that says in large, tall letters, AZN. and holding a playstation controller. heh.

i'm late with my song. i've finished the lyrics, but am too tired to write a melody, much less instrumentals. i might even rewrite the chorus, since it's so cliche. roopa didn't get the story behind the song, but janey and michael did. two out of three, good enough.

chris called today. i found out that the law suit was dropped. i'm so relieved. i really want to have a good relationship with him, but it's as if we have absolutely nothing in common but our parents and diablo. i would hate to build that relationship on diablo. but what can i do? he's all the way in wisconson, so i can't exactly go and hang out with him. well, come what may....

i thought it had been a long time since i had another late-night conversation with michael, but the last one was only on the 18th. huh.

i meant to write rose today, but i'm too tired now. i meant to write my mom today, but i don't really want to.

goodnight.

"wow, your hair looks really cool when it's wet and not tied back. you could pull off the punk rock look." so said vijay yesterday. i never thought my hair could be considered punk.

i decided that i'd deprived myself of music until i write my song. the deadline's coming up and all i have is a concept. i figured that i'd either have an epiphany or kill myself. it's not working out. i simply listen to the music in my head. it doesn't have an off switch. erg. i hope robert likes his birthday present. it's so hard to shop for that guy. vijay and mike and joe and i spent more time than we thought we would shopping for him.

it feels good to be quoted. i found my quote about friends on kevin's and sachin's profiles.

so we went to freebirds yesterday, and vijay decided to make a sidetrip to mars. not a good idea. i ended up getting the sheet music for lullabye by shawn mullins and last kiss by pearl jam, as well as the songbook for creedence clearwater revival. i should really stop spending money, cuz i don't have much to spend. to make it worse, i can't even look at it until wednesday, since i'm doing the whole deprive myself of music thing.

vijay's silver desert eagle came in the mail. it looks pretty damn cool.
