In April, 1984.

DIARY

Don’t remember much, although this was drawing near the close of my second and final year at Valley Private School in Grand Blanc Township (today in Flint). My time there was kind of a strange experience, anyway… it was an experimental (and expensive program) where we didn’t receive grades but written evaluations and were allowed to choose out own textbooks, given certain limitations.

DIARY

– YESTERDAY – I felt lousy all day long: my teeth hurt, had a sore-throat, and I was exhausted. My hypochondriac mind kicked in and imagined it all to be something dreadful, but today I feel a lot better (though still very tired).

Don’t tell me, "American-made cars suck." Just don’t.

EVENT

I’m getting really tired of people, friends, indiscriminately ragging on the quality of American made vehicles.

Now I have to qualify this, because in objecting to a generalized smear, I don’t want to be guilty of one myself.

The White Sox suck!

EVENT

At least for today, my second favorite team in baseball is at the very top of my hit list. They will not only be playing the Tigers, the soon-to-be contenders in the American League Central Division; they’re playing the Tigers at the Detroit home opener.

Orbital #6. Snivilisation

CONCEPT

Here is it… Snivilisation represents the beginning and end of my Orbital albums, so I won’t be writing about them for quite some time.

Snivilistion was the first Orbital album I ever bought, it having been recommended above all others in some book… for that reason, it bascially formed (along with Halcyon + On + On and Lush 3.1 and maybe that song off the Pi soundtrack) my first impression of them.

DIARY

– YESTERDAY – Routine. Reading and critiquing. At night, Jess and I had Mac and Cheese for dinner. It wasn’t a so-late night. Tonight we’re going to one of our Playwrights Horizons plays.
– WEATHER – I should just cut and past “thunderstorms” here each day and type in where they’re hitting.

DIARY

– YESTERDAY – Routine. Work. It was snowing out. Home (bought milk on the way). Hung out with Jess. Did the dishes.
– WEATHER – More of what we’ve seen lately: storms and tornadoes along the Mississippi, and gradual warming to the East.
