Fucking shit. There need to be 30 hours in a day. I'm not even that busy but I don't have time for a thing.
So, lately I've been interviewed (along with Jay-V, but she was the lucky one with a quote. Bitch!). I've developed a strange addiction to Craig's List (you might want to know, but I don't plan on elaborating further. Deflecting, Rants and Raves is a fascinating place. What strange thoughts lurk in the minds of people!). DC was fab, thanks for asking! As the person who could've given the least amount of shit about U2, it figures I would find myself face to face with the slowest moving truck in the universe yesterday on my way to Whole Foods. I'm working myself up to pitch (and trying to grind out what gigs I already have). I'm trying to be the only person in my office without the sniffles. Farmer coming to visit is something I might be looking forward to a bit too much. Moving announcements are imminent. Next year, I'm planning to hit Miami, Mexico, and Hawaii before the year is up. I think this might be the one holiday season in memory where I don't think I'm missing out. Singlehood is a blissfully underrated and fun path. I think I'm too selfish to ever settle down again and I'm okay with that. (Declarations to be made void any week now when drama begins anew. O sweet flighty bird of youth!)
Meanwhile, NYC is fun again. Fall is one of my fave seasons. What I lack in sheer quantity of choices is made up by quality nights out -- either alone or with friends. I've rediscovered some sort of joy to wandering around again. Quite nice.
A highlight was the Man Man show at NYU the other week. Though I spent most of the show wondering was I ever as young (-acting and otherwise) as the kids in the crowd (because I've apparently bypassed 23.5 and gone straight to 65), I was in hysterics at the antics of the band. It's been a while since I've seen a show of theirs and also one where the people on stage were into having a good time and playing their stuff with enthuasiasm. Sincere joy at being there is also an underrated thing. It was nice to take time off from the shows, gaining local and far-flung converts, and then to go back and have an honest to goodness good time. Viva Man Man! Buy their shit!
Also, the most interesting search that led to this little corner lately has been "Morgan Geist blog." Does one exist? It should. He's pretty interesting -- at least this article makes me think so. I think it's fascinating when musicians have them. I, casually obsessive fan, love hearing about the creative process/random bullshit. The Prefuse news page/musings is tops. 1 Prefuse page = (KP Blog golden moment)^50 in my book.

i heard about those midday nap places...seems like a ripoff
I was supposed to be awaken with a combo of vibrations and light, but alas I sleep like the dead, so the guy woke me up.
They're not scammers at Metronaps. That's a Wes company. They teach us to be creative thinkers and crafty makers of useless junk up in CT.
