music / gardening / rain

having officially been done with arrakis records for a year or two now, maybe more, i haven't been too down with any music for awhile...i went on a big indie rock phase, some hip hop, etc..i don't know the point of this except i feel like listing some of the music i've been listening to a lot lately...

athlete's "tourist" album is really good, on the coldplay vibe... you've probably heard the song "half light" before...but check the whole album..

ok go "oh no" is a decent album on an indie rock style...funny ass video for "a million ways" - check it out - http://www.okgo.net/video.asp

take a peep at my boy ryan from ty cobb and mad action's new band, mazarin, they're really dope..here's their myspace page, as they were selected as the myspace featured band last week - http://www.myspace.com/MAZARINBAND

what else...not sure...oh, the joggers, they're a pretty dope indie portland band...

seattle's death cab for cutie and scarlett johansen were on saturday night live last night...they were good and she was hot...

new job is going good, i think i'm going to do really well there and in sales...

bj - get your ass up here next month, we're hitting whistler for the best snowboarding/skiing on the fucking continent...and then hitting the amsterdam-like coffee shops in vancouver!

we've been cooking like crazy. and i've been learning more about growing fruits/veggies/herbs from my aunt jean...i just propogated branches of rosemary, sage and lavender and put them in little starter pots...will transfer them to my litle backyard's garden in a month... also, i have 12 garlic cloves that i stuck in the ground 2 months ago coming up real nice, the chive stalks that are sticking up from the clove are now about a foot high.... i'm sowing peas in about 2 weeks to be planted about a month or so from now... i have some lettuce seedlings that will go outside in march... and i'm going to hit the nursery to cop a strawberry plant and some other shite soon... i can't wait till spring hits, it's going to be freakin gorgeous in p-land, as all the rain we've been having is fattening up the roots of all these plants and i know they're gonna go buck this spring... it's rained 27 days straight...today is the first day without precipitation... it's incredible out and as soon as mel gets ready we're taking a nice long walk to stumptown to drink the best coffee ever, where it's roasted on site..

peace - p
