time off is harder than i thought. i've been sleep walking quite a bit lately, to the pub, to the grocery store. been making lots of avocado tacos:

3 corn tortillas
1 avocado
1 tomato
alfalafa spouts
hot sauce

also been writing quite a bit. finished a few more songs, finished a rough of the song below, i have to make changes some of the lyrics, but this is the general direction. we'll be performing on WUWF 88.1 this weekend july 20th around 2pm. one can stream a live link:

The Rose Chafer in the Country Wine

Walked all night through the streets
Searching in the cracks for a flower in the concrete
Brownstone buildings against dark blue sky
Like a rose chafer in the country wine

Looking in the windows, I saw a waitress
Obscured by a neon lamp and counting her tips
Strawberry moon and blinking city lights
Shown the blush on her cheeks as she walked outside

Then you had to do it with a fancy boy
A fancy boy who don’t dance like me
A fancy boy from the bourgeois

Now the streets are empty every day
And my first taste is still the same
Blood in my mouth and a sense of decay
Like strawberry wine gone bitter in spring

Strawberry blonde with a new sunrise
Tell all your wisdom with a stumbling cry
So the old Irish Rose and the anarchists
Might sleep in the hedgerows in fortified bliss

Then you had to do it with a fancy boy
A fancy boy who don’t dance like me

A fancy boy from the bourgeois
