New Job
I will no longer be working in Pearland. I will no longer be at a swim academy daily. I will no longer have an ongoing paranoia that these little kids who lick and touch everything are going to bring some deadly virus or sickness into my work and infect me with it.
I now work at a law office. YEP! A law office. It’s in the tallest building in Texas - The JP Morgan Chase Tower in downtown...
@HangingWithPitt
So I decided to make a twitter account about different things that have happened when I’ve hung out with Brad Pitt.
I have never hung out with Brad Pitt.

Haley Barnes "Bringing Me Back"
Haley Barnes has been a muse to Buxton ever since we recorded a collection of 19 demo songs about 1.5 years ago.
She has definitely had some input on some of the newer songs and through that we consider her a member just as much as any one of us.
Her music is incredibly serene and well put together with perfect harmonies.
So do yourself a favor and visit http://haleybarnes.bandcamp.com/ to...
Buxton in L.A. with Jim Scott
This Monday, Sergio and I are flying out to L.A. with Gary Briggs to mix the new Buxton album with Jim Scott at his studio. If you don’t know of Gary Briggs or Jim Scott, look them up and you can imagine how much I’m freaking out. We’ll be out there for a good solid week almost. I’m pretty excited about working with Jim Scott. The guy has mixed some of my favorite albums by...
SXSW 2011
Alright, Ima try to make this short but it ain’t gonna happen.
Wednesday Pulled into town in the van with Sergio, Austin, Justin, and Savy. I think that was everyone. I was tired. We got into town and checked in to get our badges and shit. Saw Eisley walk by us a few times which we thought was funny because they have pink hair. Didn’t really see a whole lot the first night. Serg,...

Alright.
So back in the day when I was in college I took a class called Audio Troubleshooting which taught me how to fix lots of musical stuff and what not.
You know, like pedals and amps and shit.
Soldering and junk.
Resistors and poop.
I’ve always been interested in doing the whole DIY thing.
Recently I’ve had some significant motivation to finally try it out.
So…ima...

I’ve been wanting to get one of these since they first came out in 2007.
Finally.
Buxton has a rehearsal tonight.
Then we’re going to Fitzgerald’s to see Lucero and Robert Ellis and The Boys.

Good Samaritan, Bad Directions
I just gave a very nice old couple directions to a store nearby.
Shortly after I realized that the directions were incorrect.
I think...
…I’m going to begin reading Spider Man and X-Men comics starting with the first issue.
Also,
Can anybody suggest the best/cheapest place to buy plane tickets?
Or have any frequent flyer miles to give?
I gotta fly halfway across the country for some stuff.
Burgers.

Accidental Garbage
This is one of those things that I’m sure happens to everyone.
At least I hope it does.
It would make me feel a lot better about myself knowing that I wasn’t the only one.
Here’s the deal…
In our apartment, our big trash can is right next to our big dirty clothes basket.
Everytime I go to throw my underwears in the big dirty clothes basket I always reach to lift the...

Themes
So, I forgot that Tumblr has these THEMES.
I always just look at my dashboard and it shows everything the same.
I then remembered that I had this silly Bosch painting for my background.
So it’s about time I changed it up.
I picked this one because it’s really bland.
I like bland things.
Neutral.
Nonconfrontational.
I’d rather have a blog that looks like a boring new wave...

Does this ever happen to you?
Are you ever doing something that you have to constantly have your focus directed towards, while at the same time allows for a lot of free time for your mind to roam?
Example…
DRIVING
I often drive around a lot.
A whole lot.
For example, I live in the Museum District of Houston, TX.
I work in Pearland, TX.
That’s a 20-30 minute drive to work every day.
1 hour round trip.

What the fuck is with Nicolas Cage?
Seriously, the guy has the most predictable cover art known to cinema.
It’s always…his face taking up about half of it, and then something blurry or out of focus or something.
and if his face isn’t taking up half of the cover, he’s still on the cover. Seriously, I don’t think there is a movie that he plays a dominant role in, that he isn’t on the...

Max/MSP stuff
Max/MSP stuff.
So, I’ve been working with this program called Max/MSP.
It is on of those extremely versatile programs that you can pretty much do ANYTHING with………..as long as you know how to do it.
SO!
With that said, you may want to know that this program can be VERY confusing and strenuous to get used to.
Look it up. Like, really. Go to the website, read up on it,...

New Apartment
I finally got the hell out of the suburbs and into a part of the city that I spend the most time at and enjoy the most.
Aside from needing to hang up a wall shelf and finding a better place to put my bike, Savannah and I have settled in and put everything where we want it.
Other than that, not a whole lot has been going on.
Buxton is pretty much done with recording for the new...
