Packing it in.

Summertime means things are picking up, yeah? Itsn't it funny how what you did in a winter day seemed like so much, and now you feel bored or lazy if you aren't cramming many things into a day. I saw Arcade Fire a few weeks back, it really got me going- I mean, the music was intoxicating enough that I didn't even want to get up and grab a beer.

When we saw The Arcade Fire they closed with In the Backseat.
My summer reading suggestion is Ben Marcus, Notable American Women. I'll keep suggesting it until somebody reads it.

I will try to check out your book. But, I probably should have posted this a few days earlier, as I bought 6 books yesterday. I was in a state though, hadn't read anything except The Bell Jar for a few weeks, and I couldn't bring myself to finish that because it was making me sick to my stomach.
Did I say that they closed with that song? They didn't. It was just very different on stage than it sounded on the album to me.
Have you read anything by jeanestte winterson?

I'm sorry, you said the last song on the album. They did close with that song when we saw them. It was really cool. One of the best performances I've seen and I only saw like 5 songs. We went to see The Pixies that night and then made it just in time to see the last part of Arcade Fire's set. . .great night. We didn't even have to pay to see the show.
