got my KISS records out

i’m starting to feel soft and squishy towards someone i definitely shouldn’t be feeling squishy towards, this no good and generally bad, bad.

in other news, i had another blowout with the techwriters who very clearly hate me and like to yell at me. i lost my cool twice in the past two days.

my brain isn’t connected today. it’s floating off somewhere in the ether and dreaming about smooching boys and the changing leaves. not good at all, since i have to write a newsletter today.

in other news i’m sick of all the music i like yet again. what are you listening to currently?

in the winamp3 now: cheap trick’s surrender, which is really no good because it reminds me of being at laughing luigi’s and having crushes on the cute guy from my creative writing class (TCGFMCWC) and jeff johnson.

what is it about fall that just makes you want to get lost in memories and romance?

Cheap Trick was my high-school band. Rick Nielson was my home room prez — Rockford (IL) Guilford, class of ‘67. Bun E is a very close personal family friend. Bet you didn’t know that about me. The band once took my sister with them on a trip to England. On the Concorde!

This morning listening to: Caroline Herring, “wellspring”, which I just reviewed for rockzillaworld. Guy Forsyth’s “Voices Inside”. Wendy Colonna’s “Red”.

Small world! Rockford is my hometown, too. Cheap Trick was way big during my time (class of ‘80, East High).

To DAINEC (sorry, Jodes.) Might you know my brother, Kip Kaske?, he was at Guilford around that same time. This year at the Waterfront Fest (I wasn’t there, I live in New Mexio), Trick played, and also Harmony Riley (featuring one of Rick’s sons) and Holland Zander’s band.

I was really into Led Zepplin in HS. So much so that I burned myself out on them and don’t listen to them much any more.

Currently I’m into the new Jane’s Addiction and most recent Filter album.

Have you ever listened to Jill Sobule? I think you’d really like her. Download anything from the album Happy Town. Tegan and Sara are good fun too.

I interviewed Tegan & Sara on the radio when they were in Albuquerque opening for Neil Young, a couple of years ago. They were really cute girls — talked alot about their “pride” — but way, way cocky.

Things I Want to Tell You

Interview #2 at place I would enjoy working at went really well. I'm pretty pumped. [+]

Can I get an AMEN! This woman responds to the Jezebel Hullabaloo the way I wish I could have, had I not been blacking out with the rage. I agree that drinking a lot and having a lot of sex with different men is not feminism. It might be your lifestyle choice and a lot of fun -- go you, but it has nothing at all to do with being a feminist. I think once I simmer down a bit, I will chalk up the whole Hullabaloo to a few drunk 20something girls being stupid and naive, because, that's what 20something girls do. We've all done it, and not to get all sage woman of the earth, but something changes for women when they turn 30. I don't know what it is, I cannot define it, but other woman will agree 30 is a magical age where suddenly you seem more yourself, you think before you speak, you look back at your 20something self and realize what an idiot you were, but you still love that girl. I'm just hoping these Jezebel-girls will be so kind to their 20something selves when they look back at how absolutely foolish they were. {via fimoculous, whose comments are all men discussing the issue which makes me a little sad}. [+]

I had avoided the whole Jezebel hullabaloo until this morning when I was reading Mediation's thoughts on the nonsense. I followed his links to the Metafilter discussion and it was after watching the video there that I blacked out from sheer rage. I'm so angry I can't even write anything coherent. [+]

I just applied for a for reals job for the first time since 2000 (three fors in one sentence, go me). I feel a little like I'm going to barf. I forgot how nerve-wracking it is to want something like this. [+]

"Never mind that while he was on my ass about being in lust with a celebrity who lives in France and has two children with a French model, Greg was in love with a girl from, you know, like, down the street." Peabo cracks me up. [+]

I am celebrating my independence by sitting around in my pajamas until noon. [+]
