Rainy day. No way to walk. A thunderstorm came up in the middle of the night…lightning, everything. Amazing that there’s thunderstorms in December. Went shopping at West Elm with my mom, then we went to Whole Foods for lunch. I had a fish sandwich at the grill. Julia, from Family Wash was there, she works [...]
Cloudy and lovely day, 47 degrees. Walked the long walk, then home and did some chores. Read the first chapter of Tina Brown’s “The Diana Chronicles”. She can write. Wrote some thank you cards and had tea. Spoke to KJ on the phone and we were laughing. Watched “Superbad” and I heard dad’s song in [...]

Well my mom told me she had a dream and there was a 7 in it and it had something to do with me…Grimey called and was very sweet and said that we sounded good. Went to the Mercedes dealership with Troy and we picked up his car, then we went to lunch at J. [...]
This was the 3rd Wednesday of our residency at the Basement. I was kind of looking forward to it because it was fun last week. But will anyone come? Have we somewhat saturated the market? To rehearsal and the boys are quick studies. We added this kind of punk-ish song called “Unsentimental” and it’s just [...]
Met Matt and Leigh of Sixpence at Bongo Java. Matt is very nice and he came up with a good idea about an E.P. we could do together. I’m excited about the idea of working with them, possibly with the S.S. as a backing band. Saw Sam Ashworth there and I like him. Who else? [...]
