So much for that. Got fired from the arcade after 18 months. Time to job hunt.

Lots of howling outside tonight. Most likely coyotes. Definitely not dogs. Sounds pretty cool.

Just deleted 6 months of voicemail. Oh what an interesting life I lead…

Everyone is just so white. It’s annoying…

I’d rather have nightmares forever than wake from one more good dream and face reality.

Playing a show at the Dilla in 3 hours.

I wish everyone was a composer so we could all just sit and talk over tea about how much we love borrowed chords, melodious extensions, and tritone substitution.

I bought a Korg!

Finally got that D major piano piece coherent enough to pitch to the band and start writing parts. It’s getting a great vibe going but it needs either two guitars or an extra person to trade drums/piano with me. Too bad nobody cares except the band. Felt like posting anyway.

D, D7/C, Bm7, Gm7, Dsus4/A, E, G7, Edim7add9, D.

It’s been the worst day since yesterday.

Everyone in the employee break room is speaking Spanish and I don’t. I feel left out.

The stars were out tonight, and they were so clear.

Ugh. We had a celebrity in the resort and people were being total dicks, even employees were bothering his family. Luckily we in the arcade treat everybody with dignity.
