Theremin-Driven Chamber Punk...

juliebataThat's the description given for a group called the Theramones, playing at a local club this Thursday night. I want to be there. Badly. Theremins are SO COOL. I'm still kicking myself for not going to see a different band I really like a few weeks ago. I didn't have anyone to go with me. I HATE being alone! Maybe this time I'll feel strong enough to say "Fuck It- I'm going anyway!" We'll see...
I made another quiche last night, it turned out even better than the first one. I'm eating leftovers right now, mmmm....
I feel pretty detached from the whole war thing. Call me a "bad" American, but the shrub disgusts me. I'm not a political person at all. I've said before how I avoid the news. I never sign petitions. I rarely vote. I don't march or chant. Does this mean that I don't care? Well, yes and no. This war is stupid, and I don't want it to have to happen, but it's going to, and I can't stop it. So I'm just going to go on with life because that's all I can do. This war will have little effect on my day to day happenings. People will continue to come to the dentist's office where I work. I don't know a single person in the military. The price of gas will go sky-high, but my car can sometimes go two weeks on one tank, so I can live with that, and I can walk to the store more often, if need be. I don't live in fear that I will be the victim of random terrorism. It's pretty unlikely that someone will stick a bomb under my car, or dust my mail with anthrax. If it does happen, maybe I deserved it for just being an uncaring sheep in the herd. I do feel bad for the people around the world who's lives will be far more fucked up by this war than mine, but I'm helpless to do anything about it. I'm just going to go on with life as best I can, going to work, driving my car, being lonely, eating quiche, and writing about it.

Date: 2003-03-19 12:54 pm (UTC)How do you find out about new bands? I used to be in touch with a handful of people who spent a lot of time on music, but I hardly ever see them these days. You and Juliebata have both turned me on to bands (Bambi Molesters!), but it's harder to describe music when you're an amateur like me.
