speaking of good chemistry...

i think my brain must have come preloaded with the organic chemistry program. it's odd how much i dig this stuff...like diving down a crazy rabbithole to the center of the universe to watch how it's all colliding and vibrating and wiggling about....and it really is! well it's a good thing anyway that i am seeming to have a knack for this stuff, cause it looks like i've signed myself up for much more in the months to come. when i think to myself, what is an artist doing turning herself into a scientist??? i remember what my friend berangere said - "Being an artist is a state of mind, and I think that true artists are very curious people, which makes it more likely that they will investigate the world in all kinds of different ways....Being curious (especially the feminine curiosity) is a great quality but as in many creation myths of the world it can lead the protagonist and the world astray. It is also important to have a plan and be focused." very true. she's a smart and very interesting cookie, that one.

anyway, for now, finals are OVER!! and i'm now faced with important, life-altering decisions like, do i go for a swim now or later? eat that yummy piece of la bete noir chocolate cake before dinner or after? watch princess mononoke or start reading the golden compass again...(oh my goodness i am so excited they're turning it into a movie!!)...whatever shall i DO?? go see some music at my favorite new cafe delta of venus? i'd love to play a show there actually...i mean, who wouldn't want to play a venue with a name like delta of venus?? i met my new friend maggie there today, she's a peach. she's been here little more than a week and has already planted her garden...gotta admire that.

well, it's off to a thousand and one slacker lack-of-activities with me...i'm sure this phase won't last more than a couple minutes...i can't seem to sit still for long...gotta make things happen...tinker with reality...but for now, rest and dream...

september spring?

i'm gonna burst i'm so happy. just wrote a new song to a track from my dear friend mijo. hypno started with a track from mijo too...this song gets me right to the core, just like hypno. gooooooood chemistry. so funny for new life to spring forth just as the leaves start to fall...but that happens all the time...guess that's when i dropped in meself! anyway the track is called september, or loving eyes, and i can't wait to get it recorded. i think i've sung it like a million times today. making it very challenging to be a good little study bug preparing for finals. finals shminals i've got a new song!! gosh that feeling just can't be beat. like when you hear a song for the first time and you totally fall in love with it so you listen to it nonstop for a week....well i suppose it's exactly that. but even more mindbending because somehow it flowed in through you. what a lovely gift. school is still wonderful stimulation of a totally different sort...i think it's really good to get the ol' noggin firing on all cylinders. speaking of which, i have a new car (well new to me)...thanks to my star of an uncle...instead of replacing a fence he grabbed this candy apple red 1989 honda prelude, sunroof and all...i find an excuse to drive it somewhere every day, even though there's really nowhere to go and i ought to be riding my bike...but i can't help it...it's the sunroof...and it's so.....red! i named it terrapin. cause for the whole week before this car popped into my life i had terrapin station stuck in my head...what a crazy lovely song...anyway, i think it's funny to name a car that goes zero to sixty in six seconds after a turtle.

well i'm inspired...i could probably babble all night but i will be good and go bury my brain in the wonders of protein structure...who knew hemoglobin was such a twisted creature?

till then...or maybe sooner...
