Elise

Elise continues to amaze me, even after 5 years of spending just about every single day together. When we got to Austin and I cut my arm, she not only took care of me in my wounded state, but she also worked about 60 hours a week for about 3 months to support us while I couldn't work. I don't know how she finds the time to do all of her Betty Beatrix work (designing journals, sewing, crafting fantastical creatures), play bass and sing for Law School, work at Spider House and still have more friends than anyone I know. It seems like that would keep pretty much anyone overbooked, but we somehow still have a lot of time to spend with each other, apart from working on writing songs and playing music.

We had wonderful morning at Bouldin Cafe' with Betty (our dog) today. Going there to drink coffee is somewhat like seeing a 2-dimensional Neon Planetarium emerge all around you. Walking there in the cold morning ether of Austin at sunrise, I found myself lost in the awareness of my own breathing. I had walked down South Congress already, which is something like the Forbidden City, with Beast-fang. When Betty is submerged in this sort of mythologizing material substance, she becomes a fang of legend, born in East Francia circa 900 a.d. She's so sweet. It's kind of like how He-man's dog is able to transform.

Anyway, it was wonderful watching the sun come up through the trees this morning; the tacos were amazing too. And it was all ten times more holy/epic because of my beautiful wife, Elise.

Fade Masters.

How a Djinn Appeared to me Under the Moon

A soul, which can most easily be likened to a small mason jar packed full with glow worms, appeared last year just outside of the Texas capital city, Austin. Generally, human souls are thought to be drawn to some sort of resting place in another dimension once they leave the body. Or, if they stick around on earth, they'll draw some ethereal substance around itself and go around as a "ghost". But only in legends have there been accounts of naked souls.

A few days after farmer's kept calling city authorities to complain that their dogs and children were being stirred into a frenzy by the soul.

I moved to Austin, TX and cut my arm.

Hi. I moved to Austin about two or three months ago and cut my arm pretty good on a window. First of all, that sucks but I feel like I've learned a lot about the cosmos.

Secondly, I walked outside and to sit in sunlight when I saw a giant Lamp in my front yard. It was about 30 feet tall. Translating the Aramaic messages on the side of it took a while, but when the starlight illuminated it there was no more need for translation and a normal Beard Cloud took the shape of Orion.

Veronica Mars season 2 ended and Buffy season 2 started.

SXSW meant that it took too long to get Taco's at Torchy's and that there would be no need for anyone to make anymore bad music in 2010.

Mostly, New Miami highschool football rules.

Everyone needs to think about Howling Wolf.

I'm about to go to bed or play Blitzball, but I just wanted to say that I have now successfully logged onto "the interwebs." All the kids are using it.
