Home is Where Beds are Made

and butter is added to toast


So, phase one in being a person who actually lives in Portland instead of merely existing in Portland is drawing to a close. I signed a lease yesterday for an apartment--a beautiful double studio in the neighborhood i wanted to live in. The layout is alittle funny, and i have to decide whether i want to buy a bed or sleep in the one that pulls out in a drawer, but its really nice, hardword floors, great kitchen, etc. Its a bit more expensive than i had planned, ut what can you do. I'm renting it from this nice old couple who seem pretty great but put the wrong address and zip code on my lease. so we'll see how that goes. so from now until further notice, correspondence, care packages, cookies, and birthday presents on or around Nov 9th can reach me at

2109 NW Irving St.
Portland, OR
97210

In other news, I have started rehearsals at Sojourn, put in a couple of job applications (Thats phase two) and kicked my AD addiction...and Matt,what maeby and i had was young love, not some crude adolescent thing like you described. I only whack it to House.

Finally, a few more albums i think you should listen to, but, for brevity's sake, no pictures and descriptions of equal word length as the headings.

1. Murder By Death- In Bocca Al Lupo:
rock+cello+Johnny Cash+grim stories=this

2. Bloc Party- Silent Alarm:
great album, good politics

3. Sun Kil Moon- Ghosts of the Great Highway:
"Duk Koo Kim"-Fourteen minutes of sonic beauty

4. Thom Yorke- The Eraser:
Better than Radiohead? Yes.

thats all for now. move in sunday. ill let you know if there are any huge crises. Also, I will officially be home friday the 6th-monday the 9th for wedding, hometown fair, and (huge fingers crossed) dodger playoff games on TV.
