carl creighton is taking over this blog

So this blog has been almost only about music stuff, but I think I'm going to take it over and write stuff about other stuff now too.

I'm feeling kinda lonely. I miss my family a lot, but I also miss myself. I've been trying on all these different personas since I lost my job in March. When you're not doing something meaningless and stupid for 30 hours a week, you have a lot more time to think about what you actually want to do with your life. I registered for the LSAT yesterday. Part of me feels like just registering is going to satisfy me as much as actually becoming a lawyer. So I'll probably not even take the test. But I told my parents I might move back home and go to the law school at the U of M (Minnesota, not Missouri). The tuition there for a nonresident (which I think I am now) is only a little less than going to Columbia. Which is probably the best law school in the country. Which is also why I probably wouldn't get accepted to it.

I'm getting my BA next January, I think. This guy from the unemployment office called me today (well I called him back, anyway) and he grilled me about what my career goals are and about the classes I'm taking right now. He didn't believe Politics of Queer Sexuality was a real class. My mom prefers to call it Politics of Gays because she finds the word Queer offensive. Which is kinda cute.

We booked a mastering session at West Westside for Eleven North. June 26th at 11AM. I wonder what will happen after that.

Have a show tomorrow which I don't think anybody is coming to. And I have to leave right after I get done playing to see Bonnie Prince Billy at the Apollo. Which is really sleezy since the show I'm playing is the CD release party for Linda Draper, who invited me to play and is playing right after me.

I think my writing ability has gotten increasingly worse.
