and for a moment i saw god

i am so ridiculously addicted to cloud cult right now. they were incredible on friday. it's been a while since i've had that kind of experience at a concert. i generally always have fun at shows and dance and whatever but i love the times when i feel an actual connection with the band or whatever. and i leave feeling lighter or happier or more motivated and hopeful. they were just good people. and the live painter on stage was incredible. i bought two of their cds: feel good ghosts and the meaning of 8. they're both so good. interesting musically and moving lyrically. the meaning of eight has some really good liner notes explaining the significance of the album title. favorite tracks: 1. a good god 2. take your medicine 3. no one said it would be easy 4. the ghost in our house 5. the will of a volcano. just really good themes throughout. i'm so happy. i haven't found good music in a long time.

home was magical. i spent it mostly hanging out with my brother. we went to both salvation army locations. i bought a really cool gold and blue glass set (set of six with matching mini glasses? they're kind of like shot glasses but bigger. like shot glasses for hagrid.) i also bought some sweet mom shorts- high waisted, bright blue on one side and white with pink roses on the other side. bad. ass. drew and i tried to go to see "i love you man" but the douche-y movie ticket guy who we nick-named timmy wouldn't see us tickets. lammmeeee. then i went to barry's surprise party. small but fun. i love my 717 people. i also love red lipstick.

easter was good- the babies in church were adorable. i got to drive with drew! it's so funny to see him behind the wheel. he looked like a newsie in his little easter outfit. drew and i made a video. i love that kid. easter food was good. lamb, asparagus and artichoke, potato thing with goat cheese and other fancy cheese, then pear cake and rasberry sauce for dessert. so good. it was nice to see grandma and grandpa. thems good people.

now i'm back in the 215.
eating all my easter candy.
i love chocolate and peanut butter.
the combination of the gods.
