yesterday my mum took me to the dermatologist.
as many of you know, i have been blessed with mostly good skin. my mum however, decided that since i was breaking out a bit that i HAD to go get it cleaned up and start an intense routine. anyways, it was highly unpleasant as dr. amerian went at my forehead with a scalpel.
so, in other news, i went shopping with Guru Parkash -- American Eagle was having a very good sale, they had t-shirts for only $5. i picked up grahammy from school and got hugs from billie and bruno, graham's most feminine friends. it's pretty funny that graham is convinced that bruno is gay, well i guess he does love reading trashy teen-girl novels, and is obsessed with fantasia from american idol. hmmm.
went to a tasty thai restaurant with GPK and family, and had very yummy green tea ice cream. always a treat.
the lakers lost, twas sad.
today grahammy graduates! i am going to cry! i will miss UES very much.

i've read this thousands of times, but i think that at one point in everyone's life they must read david's bowienet welcome message.

"David, we really need a new welcome message.". the chaps at Ultrastar hinted, and being busier than a busy thing, I reminded them that I'd provided one, just a short...Blimey! Fourteen months ago! My, my, time do fly.

I'm writing this in similar circumstances to the last welcome message. As I gear up for the 2003/2004 world tour, (World Tour? -- I must be truly crazy) I still feel very good about the shows we did last year, and if the audiences for this tour are anything like they were in 2002, I'm going to be a happy man indeed. Didn't we have a blast?

I'm so pleased with the way the sessions for the new album have been going, and I know you're going to love this one too. Can't wait to play this stuff live and see what the band can do with it.

My routine means I do still check this place out every morning, and though I may not have been around as much as I'd like to have been, we have got some great stuff coming up for you and I AM going to come in for another chat before the madness starts again.

Thanks for your continued support everybody. It really means more to me than you'll ever know. Sorry, but I have to dash now, TV is screaming at me for some overdubs.

See you in chat, or out there somewhere very soon,

Love to all,

DB




this is why i luff british people..."busier than a busy thing," "BLIMEY!"
you don't know how much this sells bowienet for me, i actually have seriously thought of spending $60 just so i get a year of bowienet perks! i need help. i really do.


in other news, today i have a tennis lesson (which is greatly needed, i have to practice so sandro doesn't laugh at me too much in italy) and then i am seeing my good friend Guru Parkash, which shall be loverly and fun.

yesterday i went shopping with jackie, and cleaned out my drawers. when she was holding up things asking whether i wanted to keep it or not, i must have looked completely horrified when she held up my bowie shirt, then she looked at it and said "oh my god! how dare i?" ooo, that was scary.

tommorow is grahammy's graduation (::tear: my little brother is growing up! he's going to harvard westlake next year -- he will be in MIDDLE SCHOOL! i just found out that his friend he made at the ISEE tutoring class will be going to HW with him. this friend, who is scottish and who i think is named elijah calls graham "teddy grahams!" that's the cutest nickname I have ever heard.

friday should be paul's birthday party...will call/email gabby very soon, to make plans and decide which paul songs to put on our compilation.

mariya -- you ARE coming, whether you like it or not, as is jenny and emily.

sunday = LEAVE FOR AMSTERDAM. or as I like to say, HAMSTERDAM! unfortunately no berlin, but amsterdam and antwerp will do more that make up for that. ant-werp is a fashion capital and it is in belgium, how random is that!?! they speak belgique, my dad said, well mainly english, but what in the world is belgique (i highly doubt that that is the true spelling) i can't believe i missed DB in amsterdam by a week. you all know i would have forced my parents to take me.

got cambridge junk -- very exciting.

My Dad: "oh graham, billie and emily called, they told me to tell you to bring your guitar. i told them that you and chris were in the shower."
Graham: "you did!?!?"
My Dad: (laughing) "yeah"
Graham: "now everyone's going to think i'm gay!"
My Dad: "oh and Bruno called too"
Graham: "did you tell him that chris and i were in the shower?"
My Dad: "yes"
Graham: "did he say "can i join?""
My Dad: "oh, and ollie called"
My Mom: "he must have said: "oh my god graham! you take showers? that's so immature. you are a such a conservative republican!"

then we all laughed. graham and chris were taking a shower together -- but who didn't take showers with their friends after swimming in 6th grade, i'm pretty sure they had on their bathing suits.

other highlight of last night's dinner:
Graham: "Chris's dad discovered Bob Marley and spread Reggae around the world. My dad made a movie about a chimp that can fly airplanes. which one is cooler?"

so today was the super fun event of ringo starr's birthday party.
it was fantastic, we watched ringo-rama and help, and went to the tudor house for some tea and shepard's pie.
ringo-rama was very sweet -- especially Never Without You, a tribute to George. aww! Ringo Rama is better than i thought it would be, i quite like it. Never Without You is such a beatley tune, and has such heart. ringo is the heart of the beatles, he keeps the beat! haha.
help is my new favorite movie. it is HILARIOUS!
highlights:
1. with a ring like that, i could, dare i say it, rule the world!
2. the many ways they tried to get ringo's ring, especially the one with the hand dryers that sucked off their clothing
3. their house. i am going to live there one day
oh, it was all good. george looked especially handsome during "i need you." oh, it was exciting.
i just purchased Scary Monsters and Super Creeps from Circuit City today, i like it very much so. well, it already has ashes to ashes and fashion -- how bad could it be? but i am loving the first track, it's no game (part 1) with the girl speaking japanese. i think it's very cool. and the little insert makes me happy, because it has david dressed as a mime.
tried to watch day after tommorow, but could not get through it. decided to clean my room instead, which is so much fun. i actually quite enjoyed it though, because i got to throw out all of my books and binders. ahh, it felt good.

i just got an email from my favorite choral symphonic pop band, they would like me to:

Create the debut video from THE POLYPHONIC SPREE'S
new CD Together We're Heavy for a chance to win $5,000 cash!

now, i think this sounds like a great idea, who would like to also partake in this quest for the rest?


in other news, today is the ringo party, emily is coming, is jenny or mashka coming? i do not know.

paul's birthday will be on friday. as it is his true birthday.
