[bees buzzing near window, tick of the Elvis clock, the toilet running]

It just occurred to me a few minutes ago that my former band, Zencico, broke up five years ago on May 6th. This means, come July, that my band prior to that, Zoot Suit, broke up seven years ago. July 1st is the fifth anniversary of the name Maple Stave. I know I'm not old, but these things make me feel old. The last shows of my previous bands feel as recent as the shows we played last month (the obvious exception being the final Agent Ink show, of which I only remember fragments thanks to copious amounts of beer). And in less than 6 months I'm getting married. I had no clue five years ago, when I wrote "stupid songs about stupid girls" that I'd be getting married now. In fact, I was probably certain that I wouldn't be.
I know for certain I never would have guessed that I'd own cats.
There is really no point to any of this, just makes me feel old.

Must go back to working on posters now.

Listen to Andrew Bird. Good stuff.
