I'm preparing for my last solo performance on this content until June. It seems everything I do is in relation to my leaving and coming back. I'm looking forward to it - Preston and Betsy both said they would accompany me on some songs.

We played monday night at the Antihoot, and it was really great to have them with me. It's been so long since they've played with me. I don't know why I let that stop, but I'm really excited about tonight.

I've been working on my computer a lot, which has been both rewarding and tormenting. I thought when I quit my job I would stop working on my computer, but rather I'm just coming up with more projects to do. I feel like I'm meant to work on software, it puts me into focus more than anything else does. Which is good, but a bit scary. Focus.

I'm leaving for Europe in less than two weeks. Worlds collide. When a young Sebastian Hoffman arrived at my door on a Wednesday afternoon, I realized that I would probably be arriving at his door on April 4th. Distant doors in different lands.

I have found a subletter. A stranger will be living in my room for a bit. She seems nice.

Bernard says when you quit your job, you become busier than ever, because you realize that all the time is yours. It's kind of true I think. I have been making more music with people than ever I think. It's exciting.

I feel like I have a lot to do before I leave, but I probably don't really.

Monday evening a week ago I was at Huggabroomstik rehearsal, and about half way through everyone sat down to take a break. When I stood up I started to feel really cold, and feel really exhausted. But at the end of practice I realized I was really sick.

I ended up staying in bed for the majority of the time between then and Saturday morning. It was supposed to be my last week of work, but I missed it all. But I was miraculously doing better Saturday. But I went to Old Hat practice and performed with Cheese on Bread. The show went so well, and it made me so happy, that I just started feeling so much better afterwards. One of the best shows we've had in a while, I think.

And then Sunday evening I was back at Sidewalk for a solo show. I was the closing act of the festival. I felt like I was not doing a very good job, but Bernard gave me a tape of the show, and it's pretty good despite the fact that I didn't practice since I was sick all week. It was fun.

Monday was my last day at work. Very anti climactic. I was so excited to have a last day at work, and then it came three days later, after not having been there for over a week. Oh well. I finished some tasks up for them and it was nice to leave on good terms.

Today and yesterday, Matt Keesan and I have been working together on our web application which we've been developing for a music studio. It's mostly together, and I'm proud of it. It is fun to work on a computer project alongside a friend. Today we took over Dan and Betsy's apartment as an office. Yesterday we spent a good day in more southern Brooklyn, stopping by various Cafe's for internet.

We did a fair amount of walking yesterday, it reminded me a bit of our day in Toledo, Ohio over the summer. Matt and I were up earlyish for some reason, and we walked through town to get to the public library. The early morning walk with Matt is a good thing. In Toledo we got to the library and checked email and whatnot. I sat next to a guy who was "having" cybersex in yahoo messenger. He was rubbing his crotch. I was only slightly uncomfortable with that.

That is what I have been doing the past week. A little over a month from now I'm going to fly to Berlin to play shows in Germany with Huggabroomstik. I'm very excited. I bought my tickets.
