a somber set

hey all.

tonight i'm playing the starbucks open mic. it'll be my first time out in about 2 months, but i'm not nervous. it's such a nice atmosphere at this open mic. anyway, here's my set list (i love saying that - my set list):

factory girl by whiskeytown
someone else's song by wilco
dear employer (the reason that i quit) by minus 5
naked as we came by iron and wine

as much as i'd like to be playing all originals, i'm just not that inspired by the songs i've written. i really need to put forth a better effort and get some decent stuff worked up. i've written ten songs in 6 years, and of those ten i only like to play 1, maybe 2.

everyone is their own worst critic, aren't they?

in other news, my mother-in-law moves out on monday, back to the midwest. she's been a great roommate, and i wish steamboat had worked out for her. i'll miss her. good luck, mary!

also in other news, school starts this monday and the gremlins will be back on campus. i'll be disappointed if there isn't a new round of graffiti on the bathroom stalls by march. let the bro-down begin:

"dude, it was so sick up there today!"
"right on! how was the snow?"
"sweet, bro! i landed a nice rodeo 540 with a tail grab!"
"dude, siiiick!"
"i know, dude, it was sooo sick!"
"bro, wanna smoke a bong later?"
"sweet, bro. hit me up on my cell."
"right on. i'm gonna bounce."
"lates."

to all my peeps, like, have a good weekend, yo.
