July 29


I am too apathetic to edit this picture that I just took. Poor blog, so ugly for July 29. Today the best thing I did was probably talk to Ann in Panera for two hours. She grew up a lot. Unfortunately I will have to take another break from blogging this weekend. Tomorrow I am driving to Cape Cod to visit Liz, and then on Friday we are driving to the Newport Folk Festival. Also today I taught myself how to play two songs on the guitar: The Crane Wife and The Communist Daughter. My fingers hurt so bad I imagined little blood vessels popping inside of them. The song of the day is "Westfall" by Okkervil River, and no, I cannot play it on the guitar.

With cocoa leaves along the border
Sweetness sings from every  corner
Cars careening from the clouds
The bridges burst and twist around

I am glad that you are learning guitar! I didn't know if I had told you that yet. Someday you will definitely be better than me because I am not very good.

Westfall is just Em, C, G, D. The entire song is those four chords and they're not even barre chords. Now you can play it on guitar!
