After that we headed up to Normy's where I was presented with a mix CD Normy had crafted for me, sans information and decoration which Normy was too drunk to add. I have this story about my glass pipe that recently shattered and about my acquiring a new one through the guvernments security protocol of 'confiscation and send to coatcheck'. If your pipe is taken from you you can pick it up before you leave, but I'm pretty sure security doesn't tell that to people when they take their shit. At the end of the night I had a new glass pipe that is much more ornate than my old. Normy and Liamoops and I passed that around and Normy mixed us some gross martini's. I chilled out for a bit, then Liam and I took off for the transit and bought a tub of peanutbutter cup ice cream from the seven eleven to eat. Who knows? We ate the whole thing pretty quick.

That's that as far as that goes. It was nice to hear from Ash and I look forward to seeing her soon. Or you soon if you're reading this. She had some good advice that I've been feeling for awhile. I especially liked the Che quote, though it made me want to go out an die for some reason. Time will bring that joyous moment, but until then I've got to stay off my knees.

I bought new shoes yesterday. Three for two at payless. Cheap new kicks, though made from leather, feel good on my feets. I've been wearing the same shoes for three years. I wish I had more to ramble on about. I start work at four thirty tonight, which gives me an hour to practise my sax and a halfhour to get ready if I stop typing right now. I'm sick and tired.

I never really listen to music while I'm actually updating my diary, but lately I've been digging on the Steely Dan album 'Two Against Nature' with it's pop rhythm's and jazzy chord changes. That and Coltrane and others. I've been thinking more about getting rid of all my CD's and just asking friends to make mixes of what they're listening to at said time of mix making. That way I can re tribalise in some way. I'm pretty bubbled up in my secluded suburb spot and I want change.
