cold chillin

i've spent the last 4 days away from my erstwhile home of milwaukee, in observation of the easter holiday. and i'm looking forward to this upcoming short week, which begins tomorrow and ends at noon on thursday. then it's off the chicago to see bloc party, and from there, it's up in the air until saturday, when i return to the mil to see the brewers for the first time since i was like 8 or something. actually, i think it's been that long since i've seen a baseball game. i mean like a real one, not a little league game. for some reason i've seen plenty of those.

so the department of family medicine gave us these laptops to use while on the rotation. i've been a mac user for the past several years, so it's been kinda fun having a pc around now. windows has come a long way from win95. i can still remember windows 3.1. shit, i can remember the ms-dos prompt, when that was all there was. sheeeeit. NERD TALK NERD TALK

"the wind-up bird" chronicle has finally inhaled me. i'm about 2/3 of the way finished. it's good. it's really good. what i really enjoy about reading murakami is that some of his narrative is so out-there and surreal that i'm not even SURE that i DON'T understand what i'm reading, which makes even less sense when i type it out like that. but that's how it feels. i rarely have dreams (ones that i can remember, anyway), but reading his novels feels like i'm making up for lost time.

i got a good deal of homework done this weekend. so now i'm just gonna chill and read until i get sleepy. gotta get back to that book.

all his books are so dream-like. i love it. you definitely need to read "kafka on the shore" next. it's a much quicker read.

i'm on page 461 what are you on!??!

p.s. send me pics of that new flat

aww man. I just finished the book yesterday and now feel depressed. SOOOO good...and yeah, dreamy, but single handedly grounded in an odd reality that makes it way believable...that make any sense?

I will send you pics of flat as soon as frigging internet is hooked up at frigging flat...

but woooooooo hooooooo, seriously, the neighborhood is everything you would expect and more....Stereo Total is playing a show in a few weeks just 50 yards from my house...its kind of fun...in that cosmo way...
