Oh my God. Best concert/visual art display/rant against the music industry and country radio/autobiography ever. Plus, video of Jon Langford dressed as a pirate, sitting in a boat, floating in a sink, reciting poetry about BBQ pork and monkeys. This evening will be hard to top.

Bloaty's having his newt installed.

Werner Herzog kind of wins at life.

Yes, I'm procrastinating. Paper, that isn't due until Wednesday, but it's going crazy slow.

Oh, I have $100 to blow at Target, thanks to me being lucky for once. I have no idea what to get.

Oh, this again. Hi there. Everyone's gone, though. Flown the coop, to Europe, or Oregon, or Walla Walla, or wherever. And the ones who remain in town have Things To Do. Unlike me. So, my family has decided to get out while we still can, and take the train to Glacier National Park, in Montana, on Wednesday. On Saturday, I get back on the ( Read more... )

Tonight was lovely, what with the dressing up, and painting masks, and dancing, and meeting new, neat people, and laughing at the awful, awful DJ, and watching a bizarre movie about a couple on a murder spree. It's interesting - near the start of the semester, the most fun nights I had tended to involve alcohol, and now ( Read more... )

And apparently Hanson are too cool to actually play at Macalester, so they cancelled their acoustic set. What the fuck? I mean, they did the interview, but the radio station actually played their new music, so they should have some debt to us, since their new music blows. According to rumor, one of the members applied here and didn't get in. Ha

Macalester is an amazing place. It has an aura, I believe, which attracts certain people. It shows in the guests that come to our school. While some schools get, for example, Jon Stewart, or Richard Thompson, we are not nearly so pedestrian in our guests. Oh no.
