School's out!

So, I'm officially done with my MA at Western. Done. Everything is off my plate (though, I do have to pay a couple fees I have yet to pay). But what's next for me?
First off, I'm getting married in July. Second, I'm moving to New Mexico. Third, I'll be teaching and working on my MFA. Three years of my life will take place in Las Cruces, NM. Wow. It's been hot in Bellingham, and that's good, 'cause I need to get used to the heat. I am not a heat guy. I'll take rain and snow over too much sun any day. But that will have to change and change soon. Although, it might be the perfect motivator to get myself a job and get out of Las Cruces when I'm done.

I've been watching a lot of discovery channel: Dirty Jobs and the Deadliest Catch. Soo good.
*
I got a DVD for doubt on my coffee table. I think I'm gonna watching it tonight. Hoffman, Adams, Streep. Sounds like a hit to me! I read the play a year and a half ago, and that was amazing. I'm curious to see how the playwright turned it into a film...

On friday night, I finished all of my guitar parts for robot meat is murder. Last night, I went to play my drum parts. Half were good, the other half were pretty good, and I have one song I didn't even play on. We're wondering if we are forcing the whole "two drum" thing. I think we might be, and our drummer Wendelin is so good, I'm not sure other drums add, but more likely muddle it up and take away. We'll see what the rest of the band likes.
I just want to start on the vocals...soon, soon, soon.

OK. I'm hungry.
That's all for now.

yo, yo, yo, yo, yo!!!

STAR TREK! See it! I loved every second of it. Could be that I grew up watching good ol' Kirk and Spock and the whole gang. God I loved that show. The movie did everything it had to in order to keep going, and everything it had to do to work. I won't say anymore. GO SEE IT!
*
I just read Davis McCombs DISMAL ROCK. Great book of poems. I think it's my favorite of his.
*
OK. Fuck the Airborne Toxic Event. How did that band ever release anything? They suck, suck, suck.
*
That's all.
Later.

Hello.

So, I keep telling myself that I'm going to blog, but then I don't. Today, Emily woke me up early and I made coffee, and now I'm waiting for it, and she's on the phone with her auntie talking about wedding stuff.

Speaking of that, we've decided to do a small ceremony in Mount Vernon. We were getting way stressed about everything: the move, the wedding, school, etc, etc. And decided to do a no frills, no excess wedding. Now we feel g.o.o.d.

I've been thinking alot about what my future projects are. Right now, I'm working on drafting out a script called Feller for lines and blood, and i've written it, but I just have to type it up...yeah I still write everything long-hand...

but anyway, I'm right in the middle of two big projects: The Story Thief and When the Wolves quit.

The Story Thief is about a lot of stuff: Oh, I can't find my synopsis, I find it and put it up. But it's gonna be a big epic novel...i think. I'm like halfway done...i think...I'm gonna try to get a bunch of it done this summer.

When the Wolves Quit: a collection of poems (or a longer series) about a preacher who dissapears, and when the town starts looking for him (he's an important figure) they finding bodies. The town has a lore about people vanishing and never being heard from again, well, because of the search and the discoveries, they start realizing that most of these vanishings are murders, and maybe the preacher was murders...meanwhile, the preacher's dead, down in the place of light and shadow, trying to stregthen his shadow, trying to get back up to the town and visit...I'm like thirty pages deep on that...we'll see how it goes. I was planning on making this my thesis for NMSU, but I might be done with it by early next year...we'll see.

I'm sending out my novel: Bumping (aka How we started bumping) I hope some agents wnat to see more.

I want to blog about the bagelry's bullshit and other things of bitching, but I'm not going to. I'll just get a little fired up, and really, it's all trivial.

I'm gonna go on a hike, then Star Trek.

Boo yah
