If you haven’t picked up “Maybe This Christmas Tree” (it’s a record), you need to! That CD seriously has the coolest tracks on it. The songs from Death Cab For Cutie, Pedro the Lion, and one of the best tracks ever from Copeland. Go buy it, don’t download it, buy it.
On another note, I went to the Ear Nose and Throat specialist yesterday. It was a very interesting time. I mean, this guy had this tube in my nose that was digging around and everything, kind of awkward. But still I felt like he was doing a seriously awesome check on this stuff. If you haven’t heard, I was diagnosed with sinusitus. No seriously, that’s what it’s called. Anyways, he did a bunch of stuff and you know what the best part was, when he said, “What I am about to tell you, nobody knows.” And I’m thinking, “ok?..” And he said, “The normal state of the nose is not when both nostrils are open.. everyone thinks that, but your nose is supposed to using one side, and then the other, switching back and forth..” I was like “really?..” and he said “yes.” Intersting huh? You never know what you are gonna learn. I mean, I might have graduated from college with a BA and never known that. And I would venture to say my life is better now.
So in the end, I’m on more drugs, sort of. I have a nasal spray now, and I am taking Claritin-D for the next 6 weeks (that stuff is freakin’ expensive!). He said those are the best medicines money can buy for what I have. If I’m not better in 6 weeks, it’s onward to surgery. You pray that the medicines work! That would make life a bit easier for me! Ok, well I’m actually sitting in a Starbucks in Hollywood right now waiting to get my hair cut. That’s just my lifestyle I guess. oh and.. Summer is only 6 months away.. if you’re not in California.. if you are in California (like myself), then it’s like 2 months away.. so smile.
this saturday night I spent some more time at the studio with Zach (www.dizmas.com). It was seriously a sweet time just hanging out and listening to the new tracks. the new album is seriously going to be unreal. the kids are going to love it. and by kids i mean you. yes, you and you’re family. really.. it’ll be out in April, buy it, love it, live it.
anyways this picture is of them filming across from my apartment. I took the pic from my balcony. they were filming “Six Feet Under” and they had this huge light and it made it look like day at night, really crazy. I just figured you kids would enjoy it. You see, I have this friend Tristan who is from Washington. And he always thought Californians met movie stars and surfed everyday. I guess it’s sort of true. well, not really. I just think it’s really funny that he thought that.
Came to my parents for thanksgiving this year. They live in the desert. I grew up in the desert my entire life until I went to the Master’s college. This past weekend they got a freak snow storm though and so those pics above are of the mountains outside of my house and the other one is just a desert snow scene that Bethany took from the car when we were coming here.
I went to the basketball game tonight. we lost, by 2. It made me sad. I really shouldn’t be attending high level stressful basketball games in my condition. what’s my condition? glad you asked. I have sinusitus. If you want more info, just search it on google. seriously, I bet you didn’t even think it existed. but you know what? I went to the doctor for the second time this week and they are talking surgery… seriously, no joke. they have to drain my sinuses. ok.. it’s probably going to freakin’ hurt. I’m sad, but I’d rather hurt once then ever day. <- sounds like a good emo song title "I'd rather hurt once then every day." I think I'll write it.. yeah.. that would be great. yet, right now I have no emotion. the pain in my sinuses is enough for me to take pain killer, so i did.
one more thing.. "I thought about what you said, and its not your money."

Later we just did some hangout time with all the kids. we tried to go to bob’s big boy but it didn’t work out. hour long waiting list with 9 people isn’t gonna get the job done. so we decided to do the next best thing and go to the nearest starbucks (right next door). we laughed and giggled and basically took the place over. it made me very happy. but hey. I am taking vicodin right now so anything could seriously make me giggle. i guess that’s all for me. and if you’re wondering why I am taking vicodin, well ask your doctor about sinusitus. ok bye.
