tepid peppermint slumberland

So. . .I'm back in NYC tomorrow to see the Brian Jonestown Massacre, and I'm going to be staying in a hotel in the East Village. . .very excited.

How excited am I? I fell asleep for about an hour and a half this evening around 8pm. It has been such a long work week that I'm just drained. . .I can't believe that it's only 11:30! I feel like it's the middle of the night. Just want to get to the city. I think I might try to check out a poetry reading while I'm in town--maybe do an open mic or something. Probably hit the Strand to see my pal Bibbi. Should be fun. . .

Started to really work on my MA thesis today--drafting 2-4 new poems a week. Hopefully from this demoing phase, I can get a couple good pieces to build a chapbook around.

Sleep now. . .BJM tommorrow. . .

today's soundtrack:

teenage fanclub-bandwagonesque; ray lamontange-trouble; the la's-s/t; prince-hits 2; tom waits-closing time; jeff buckley-live at sin-e; nick drake-time of no reply; love-forever changes; toad the wet sprockett-fear; otis redding-good to me; ted hawkins-the next 100 years; husker du-candy apple grey

Hey... let me know what your hotel is like. I usually set up apartment rentals, but they are quite a bit of work. And the East Village is choice. So, so jealous! (I took note of your music list, and funny that you mention Bandwagonesque... the first cover song I ever played live with a band was "Is This Music" for Gr. 12 Battle of the Bands in highschool!)
