11 PM Home. I'm at this place. I need to come up with a name for my tape Kerry's doing for me. I'm completely stumped. Also I need a name for 2 more artists on the tape for "Chantilly Glaces" & "Millionth Jar". I figure that "Idea and the Modern" name is too linked with me, and would make it even more obvious. The race is also on now to make some proposals for murals at the Farm Head Tap & Brew restaurant. Some postcard/old travel poster looking stuff, and sayings. Very Portlandia. I mean Clevelandia. That's a stir. But I might be able to get a good chunk of change out of the projet. We'll see. Here's to getting paid to do a mural, for the first time! I'd really like to incorporate some styles reminiscent in a lot of mid century modern art paintings. Line drawings, some abstract, but I get the feeling Sally isn't into it. We'll see about that too.

With Maddy gone it's a little more quiet. I'm having a couple more me-and less distracted-centered days. I keep wanting to hang out with John Hurley, but I end up scaring myself out of it. I enjoy listening to the boy talk but sometimes he does lose me. And I just worry that it's a bad sign to have a crush on someone who can get on your nerves, it doesn't make a whole lot of sense. It's too bad, He had the past couple of days off. He hinted earlier about me driving him to this bank in Berea so he could close out an account so he could get his car fixed. I was too absorbed in a mid-day nap to assert myself to the offer. I felt bad, but I had only 2.5 hours of sleep before radio today. I went to see Henry DJ last night and it turned into a long one. It continued to the radio station until 4:30 am during Stan Frasier's show. I pulled a bunch of soundtracks and discovered to my dismay, that the station did not have "Afterburner" by ZZ Top in it's collection. I spun a couple of times, but nothing serious. A lot of Stan's magical mix-ups with youtube sensations, though nothing you might expect. Henry made this live in studio mix to send to some guy. Experimental electronics stuff. We talked a bit about The Gate & The Gate II of which he owns. Very nice! Gillian was also there. I really like Gillian. We always have things to talk about. Usually involving CAA High School. She graduated a couple years before I got there. She gives good advice and honest opinions. We talk about schools, film school, stuff like that. How Maddy might be going out to Olympia Washington to go to Evergreen in the fall. And today I got a jolt, a reality check. It could very likely happen, she messages me today, "Evergreen rules!" Pretty trees, good coffee, right off the 101. Does sound pretty nice. I wish I was there adventuring with her. She helped me pick out "Judy B" As my stupid pop star name for "Downtown".
