Lately I cannot stop listening to Bibio, Atlas Sound and Memory Tapes. They've been in constant rotation for about a week at this point and I don't see that changing anytime soon. I'd been craving full albums to listen to, and suddenly three of them have come out of the woodwork. The vibe has been mellow and occasionally joyous, which is a relief ( Read more... )

I met a painfully beautiful girl this evening. I couldn't stop staring at her--dark hair, blue eyes, a lightly olive complexion and an unquestionable understanding of her own physical force, power. She made my insides turn in a little...I'd forgotten what that felt like. It's strange how you miss so much when you're wrapped up in yourself and ( Read more... )

I firmly believe that chocolate and Coke Icees are the keys to happiness. I swear it's impossible to feel unhappy while consuming either, but I do especially enjoy the perfect sweetness of the Coke syrup with the contrasting harsh cold of the slushed ice.

So today I was incredibly productive.

All in all, I'd say it was a successful day. Now ( Read more... )

So damnit I got an email from Barnes and Noble offering me 25% off of a book purchase, so I decided I wanted to browse the site and see what they had, etc ( Read more... )

Rented two David Lynch films from TLA today (Eraserhead and Inland Empire)(thank you Chad). Looking forward to increasing my exposure to good cinema. I think my next rentals will be Scorsese films because I kinda feel like I'm missing out on something by only having seen Gangs of New YorkToday I sent out a lot of emails that I'd been putting off.

Going to see There Will Be Blood today (Matt, I'll let you know what I think :) ) in the city. I'm excited because I rarely see films in the theater (although I did see Walk Hard on Christmas day), and I actually have to take a train to get to the closest place that's screening it. I hope to spend a lot more time in the city this semester, since it ( Read more... )
