So start ignoring the stuff here at Blogger and begin following those new addresses!

everything (car + ep + book)

So, I have a new car. It's a light blue 2003 Dodge Stratus. It's awesome. I'll post pictures sometime. It actually has "oomph" when I step on the gas pedal. I was losing that in the Subaru. I miss the Subaru's hatchback, though. I feel like I lost an old friend when the insurance company took it away. (They declared it "totaled" because the cost of repairs would have been a lot more than the value of the car itself...so they took it and gave me some money for a new car.) I'll miss that car.

I released a free EP a couple of weeks ago. It's called the hasty ep and you can download it from my MySpace page. I'm also looking to do more concerts. So, if you like my music and have a connection with a Phoenix-area venue, please let me know!

I just finished reading Fire Bringer by David Clement-Davies for the second time. I guess it's classified as a children's novel, but the author also classifies books such as The Lord of the Rings Trilogy as children's books. Although they technically are, I don't think most people do, considering the level of writing in such books is above the head of a typical child today. In any case, it's a very good book. It's funny, when I finished reading it just now, I wanted to cry. It's a happy ending, but I find myself so connected to the characters in any book or movie I consume that it's as if I knew them in real life. I'm sure I'm not the only one like this, but it still feels rather foolish at times.

I will post more later. I know I haven't updated Bakaare in a long time. I've been rather busy, but I promise I'll get back to it eventually.
