I saw Aja sleeping on a bench. She looked so cute and peaceful curled up like that, and I just wanted to go over and poke the tip of her nose and wake her up but I didn't.

Lower temperatures and higher humidity, my body is rejoicing.

Two weeks = Fourteen days = 336 hours too many before Meggin comes to visit me in Los Angeles.

Subject: the last beautiful moment I had

Last night, I was on the phone with my girl and I told her about how I prefer frozen peas over fresh peas.

The way she responded with "blehhhhhh!" was the most adorable thing I'd heard in years.

I've posted the lyrics to Damien Jurado's new album three days prior to its official release date! I am a good webmaster.

Happy Summer Fun Time is finished in Los Angeles for the time being. Today was cloudy and didn't even make it out of the fifties (or maybe it did, into the low low sixties).

Here's a list of songs that, over the years, I have associated with certain girls at certain periods of my life:

"Landslide" by Smashing Pumpkins
"Fake Plastic Trees" by Radiohead
"Sometimes I Don't Mind" by the Suicide Machines
"Stand Inside Your Love" by Smashing Pumpkins
"For You to Notice" by Dashboard Confessional
"Without You" by MXPX
"If You Don't, Don't" by Jimmy Eat World
"Mystifies Me" by Son Volt
"Newfound Mass" by the Get Up Kids
"Do You Know What I Love the Most?" by Saves the Day
"Making Believe" by Social Distortion
"Admiral Fell Promises" by Mark Kozelek

If I can think of any more, I'll post 'em later.

Oh yeah, there's also "Pink Triangle" by Weezer because this one time, I fell for a lesbian.

The smell in the air here is heavenly. Even if I had the words, I doubt I could describe it completely.

Walk til you're restless, sleep til you're tired
Wake up without thinking you're the one that I desire

Let's see how many times I can listen to Damien Jurado's "Medication" in a row before I get sick of it...

It feels like summer outside right now, and I really want to go outside and do something but at the same time I really don't want to leave my apartment.

And it is truly amazing.

The way she and I think the same things, say the same things, and do the same things -- even though we're hundreds of miles apart.

It's like that line by Wilco: "I am so out of tune with you."

Only the opposite.

Okay, so the stupid peripheral floppy drive on my piece o' krap iMac here at work is totally wigging out and dragging the computer down with it, but right now I really just want to die of happiness and I don't know why.

For years now, I've been carrying around a deep void within me. It's a void that starts here [taps chest] and is connected to here [taps temple].

It's the product of having that feeling that no one cares for me in that way. Of not feeling appreciated. Or wanted.

I was driving north on La Brea yesterday. And I noticed that the void is gone.

I went to get some money from the ATM last night, on Sunset Blvd. I took in my surroundings. I thought to myself:

People come here from all over the world, and when they look around they see glitz and glamour.

When I look around, I see Home.

I'm between the lines just one more time
Read it in a book I almost looked
In the frozen lake she comes and takes
Give up my whole world she's just a girl

Give up my whole world
She's a complicated girl
In the frozen lake she comes and takes

- Buffalo Tom
