[ music | Red Hot Chili Peppers -- This Velvet Glove ]

hmm lots of dreams including one where someone from tv - seems like a combination of jennifer aniston and the one from providence had a child like a month overdue and actually had twins and they were both sterile and she thought that was funny, or something.

i had to babysit them for some reason, and they were tired so i was putting them to bed but there wasn't a crib or anything, just like a bed there without those guard rails to keep you from falling out. anyway i put them there and was going to ask where they should sleep when one of them comes in and is all scared and apparently the other had fallen off and hit his head and was bleeding. i think i woke up soon after frantically running around with the bleeding baby in my arms.

later, in a different dream, there was an ad for a new nirvana album - it was ~30 minutes of new stuff. there was also a new aerosmith and some other band that i can't remember. i was trying to watch the bruins game but it was showing me... hmm maybe hartford vs. new jersey? who still has green jerseys?

i'm going to try to go run.

according to iTunes, the last cd i bought was 10 years in the life, way back on sept 10. that seems like a pretty long run with no new cds.

"I took the Beatles' 'Day Tripper' and put it on top of beats from [Kraftwerk's] Trans-Europe Express and then on top of a Dylan Rhymes track, all in real time, though." -- bt

yikes.

speaking of trans-europe express, we used to play that during band dances at half time in marching band, for example in the middle of rump shaker. in the stands during the games we used to play five on it which i now have an aphrodite remix of. something is coming full circle, but i'm not sure exactly what.

one complaint i have about boston is that it rains at night, sometimes. if it was raining while i was sleeping it would be ok, but the raining when i want to go out for a walk isn't so much fun.

there's something about walking while listening to music which is much more fun than either walking or listening to music alone. maybe this is why people dance? hmm not sure.

i'm listening to my headphones plugged into my receiver which has the mac plugged into it. i turned the bass up quite a bit on the receiver, and it sounds so good. i really wish the iPod could put out the bass that this can, or even the discmans with bass boost yum.

yesterday when i was sorting my coins i found a penny from the bahamas. pennies are maybe the most interesting coin we have, because of the color variety.

there are a few songs on adore that i really really like. it's so different from the stuff i like on their earlier albums, but it's good just the same. however, it makes other songs like today sound so thin, ditzy, light. also same thing for strokes songs, even though i love them.

this morning i had "for your love" in my head and i don't have any yardbirds albums, in any form of the yardbirds. except of course for the new yardbirds.

[ music | The Crystal Method -- Keep Hope Alive ]

having something that can really drive some bass into my headphones makes this song really good. keep in mind that i didn't hear this track until like 2000 so it's not completely played out to me, even though it's the theme song to like third watch or something.

i think i'm going to have a headache tomorrow.
