I should be resting for tomorrow's long day, but instead i'm making a mix cd for a girl, quietly breathing close by. The weather was in a mood today. The power went out at school and i was left holding a slide of Florence, Italy in my hand in utter darkness. The girl i was working with just kept talking as if nothing strange had happened. I ( Read more... )

There is truly nothing quite like being hungover and having to give a presentation in front of your class. Make that TWO presentations. God forgive me for ruining those poor peoples lives.

i initially got on to descsribe the many maligment moments of today, when, upon putting fingertips to keyboard, i heard, for the first time, this song i had downloaded, and another seriously intense musical moment ensued, which has been occuring a lot lately. these have been good days as of late. but, the lyrics made my lungs squeeze together too ( Read more... )

The drama of Jewell St continues: Relationships ending, new ones beginning. Roomates leaving, old friends arriving. Light fixtures falling. Wall sockets sparking. Bathroom walls GROWING. Furnace fans malfunctioning. Cat's noses darkening. School projects killing. The clothes never clean. The stove never warming. Allergies insisting. Coldness ( Read more... )

If anyone is looking for a really good, long book to sink their teeth into this wintery season, i HIGHLY recommend A Prayer For Owen Meany by John Irving. I finished it when i woke up yesterday and it was amazing. It's all here: strange and fascinating characters, war, death, religion, the folly of presidents, christmas pagaents, prophecies, ( Read more... )

On November 22nd I woke up in the worst mood ever. I know a lot of it had to do with the fact that I drank a six-pack of Rolling Rock just prior to falling asleep, so I woke up feeling like my skull and brain had been beaten by a group of hardcore neo-conservative truckers from the deep, deep south. It took every single ounce of will power I could ( Read more... )

There is something to be said for being the only one eating in a quiet restaurant. Especially when the food is good and the light coming in the windows is just right. Especially especially when there are strange humans on the sidewalk and very very delicious rice pudding on the buffet. The world seems almost ok ( Read more... )

My weekend is ruined by work. I know i'm not alone. Many of you have fallen under the same curse. I'm going to miss Miss Deathkit's fashion show, i'm going to miss her acceptance speech for the $500. Her hair looks so fucking cute. It makes me sad. This weather doesn't help either. Already the grey skies are setting in. Already they're having an ( Read more... )

The Arcade Fire were fucking amazing. They put on one of the most intense rock shows in recent memory. On top of that, they covered "This Must Be The Place (Naive Melody)" by Talking Heads. I was blown away. Ladies and gentlemen, my new favorite rock group. Words are not enough to explain how fantastic the show was. It was magical.

I just received a cellular phone call from none other than me old friend Mike Kish. He has two extra tickets to go see The Pixies tonight at the State Theatre, and sadly I had to decline since I am already going to The Magic Stick to see The Arcade Fire. It breaks my heart, because not only have I always wanted to see The Pixies live, but I haven't ( Read more... )
