BUT, ahve recovered&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>Saturday had me daein a lil bit of gardenin &#8211; ahve actually managed to salvage some of the few plants that were dyin left by tha previous owners.  Ah don&#8217;t know what this is but look -it&#8217;s flowerin!<br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/severebass.com\/archive\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/savedplant.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/severebass.com\/archive\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/savedplant.jpg?w=224\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>My basil is nawt daein as well howevah &#8211; it hasn&#8217;t completely kicked it yet, but it&#8217;s been gittin sicker n sicker:<br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/severebass.com\/archive\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/dyinbasil.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/severebass.com\/archive\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/dyinbasil.jpg?w=224\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Then ah went to Dolores Park to try n catch some of tha <a href=\"http:\/\/bicyclemusicfestival.com\/bmfsf2009\/\">Bicyle Music Festival<\/a> but thar was too much confusion about whar it was happenin.  One of tha main reasons ah wanted ta check it out is a dude ah used ta know at Berklee <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cellojoe.com\">Cello Joe<\/a> was gaein ta perform.  Ah doubt he&#8217;d remembah me, but ya nevah know.<\/p>\n<p>Howevah, it was nawt ta be, so ah darted off to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.journeytotheendofthenight.com\">Journey to the End of the Night<\/a>, a city-wide street race combined with Adult Tag.  It was a blast actually, tha sense of paranoia that overcame you w. every corner you took.  It also wore me tha fuck out, sprintin up hills away from Chasers n nawt bein able ta pace my runnin.  Ah made it ta checkpoint 3 of 7 &#8211; n prolly wouldve made it ta 4 if ah hadn&#8217;t gawten busted <b>tying my shoe<\/b>.  Note to self &#8211; <i>shoes are fer losers<\/i>.<\/p>\n<p>That night ah watched tha Dr. Seuss trainwreck <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0045464\/\">The 5,000 Fingers of Dr. T<\/a> which would&#8217;ve terrified me if ahd seen it as a child n made me run away from pianos ferevah.  Trainwreck in that ah couldn&#8217;t look away &#8211; but man it made me feel creepy.    Ah only wish tha scene whar tha kids gae apeshit on tha pianos at tha end had been accurately recorded &#8211; that wouldve been fun.<\/p>\n<p>Sunday my legs ached n yelled at me so ah skipped yoga, called my dad, n then headed off to a friend&#8217;s fancy condo high-rise fer a pool party (Wet Crotches XII!).  Ah didn&#8217;t intend to stay so late, er drink so much, er flirt w. early 20-somethings in tha sauna, but ah did n ah liked it!<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, Monday ah woke up w. a cough n feelin pretty undah tha weatha.  Ah went ta werk anyway, n then rode my bike all ovah tha gawdam place:<br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/_mOLnDzl_uxQ\/SkUku0oKFvI\/AAAAAAAAASE\/7YjA7F0KDtU\/s1600-h\/bikedfordrum.bmp\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/_mOLnDzl_uxQ\/SkUku0oKFvI\/AAAAAAAAASE\/7YjA7F0KDtU\/s400\/bikedfordrum.bmp\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Why?  to buy a shitty kids drum set.  Why did ah dae that?  <\/p>\n<p><b>SO AH KEN BEAT ON SOME FAWKIN DRUMS!<\/b><\/p>\n<p>In retrospect, it prolly wasn&#8217;t tha smartest purchase &#8211; tha kit is a bit shitty, it doesn&#8217;t sound that great, n my only cymbals are tha hi-hats.  but ah don&#8217;t really care.  Ahve obtained use of a practice space on Sunday afternoons until tha end of tha summer &#8211; n likely longah &#8211; n ah plan on utilizin my sunday afternoons ta git bettah at tha drums.  Ah haven&#8217;t had a set to use since last December, when think13 left our practice space, n ahve been missin them somethang awful.  So, shitty drums are bettah then no drums.  SWEET!<\/p>\n<p>Of kerse, all this bikin when ah wasn&#8217;t feel so well totally put me OUT n ah spent Tuesday n Wednesday in bed.  Tuesday ah woke up n did werk fer about an hour n a half n then had ta gae back to bed.  Ah was late on Thursday n went home early.  But<\/p>\n<p><b>Ah&#8217;ve moved intae my new bedroom!<\/b><\/p>\n<p>N last nite ah gawt one of tha best nites of sleep ahve had since ah moved intae SF &#8211; thar was nae street noize er bar musick er any of that shit.  My new room is a lil smaller (n only has one electrical outlet), but it&#8217;s gaein ta be a much nicer place ta sleep.<\/p>\n<p>Now, if only ah could git IKEA ta give me a replacement piece fer the lil screw ah broke tryin ta put my bed back togetha, life would be AWESOME!<\/p>\n<p>Oh yeah, n <a href=\"http:\/\/www.weetheband.com\">Wee the Band<\/a> is playin fer four hours tomorrow afternoon up at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.delmontesquare.com\">the Cannery<\/a>, near Fisherman&#8217;s Wharf which will hopefully be teemin w. rich tourists who want to throw money and alcohol at us.
