(1) so i'm stuck writing on this paper about jane eyre. it's pretty easy reading, and it's pretty easy to interpret, but i find it hard to concentrate here. i used to be so good at writing papers, but i feel like it's been so long since i've been in the swing of things. meh ( Read more... )

(1) so three months ago i moved to LA and it's still hard meeting people. part of it is my being extremely busy with work (and not doing all of it, besides) but part of it is my nervousness in trying to interact with people i guess.
(2) i joined match.com again and, so far, i have had little luck with it. this time though i went for the six month ( Read more... )

(1) it's been a long time since i've posted anything substantive in a while, and it's time to document something. maybe it's time to stop blogging. i mean, i'm 24, i'm single, and i'm going to live in los angeles until i'm 30 probably. but first, a few updates ( Read more... )

(1) it's my last night in chicago and i am going to see frog eyes and the evangelicals and probably drink some adult beverages. i envy those who live in chicago -- maybe i should have pursued uchicago for grad school more -- but i'm satisfied now that i'm moving to LA ( Read more... )

(1) so i bought this random-ish double cd by this band have a nice life at aquarius, one of the few albums i've ever bought while listening over the loudspeaker in the store, and it's awesome -- goes from post-rock to some weird (but lovely) goth-rock (and no, i don't like type o negative) to doom metal. awesome, awesome purchase ( Read more... )

(1) so it's a surety: i am moving to LA in august. i'm excited about moving from georgia, going to graduate school, etc. i'm not decided where i'm going to live in LA; my favorite area so far is silver lake although my sister is content living in brentwood (any advice from those LA people would be happily appreciated, since i want to live as close ( Read more... )

(1) i was wasting time watching mtv cribs and i have a question: who the fuck is baby? i know he's a cash money (or ca$h money) millionaire, but does this guy make records or does he just make random guest appearances on lil' wayne songs? i mean, by the way he sounds, baby either refers to his mumbling all the time or he's barely literate, or both ( Read more... )
