The Decembrists
"Los Angeles, I'm Yours"
There is a city by the sea
A gentle company
I don’t suppose you want to
And as it tells its sorry tale
In harrowing detail
Its hollowness will haunt you
Its streets and boulevards
Orphans and oligarchs it hears
A plaintive melody
Truncated symphony
An ocean’s garbled vomit on the shore,
Los Angeles, I’m yours

The Big 2-0
Happy Birthday to me =). As far as birthdays go, this one kinda sucked. Class and studying most of the day, with a little frat stuff in between. Midterm tomorrow at 9am. Fun fun. Well, it looks like my b-day party will have to be postponed till next week. It was really nice to get all those messages from everyone wishing me a happy birthday, though ( Read more... ) -

A trip to Davis
I went to visit Emily this past weekend. It was magical. I left Friday evening and got into Davis around 11pm or so. Hugs, kishes, the usual. Emily and I went for a little adventure in some rocky brush to watch the moon and a couple of stars for about 20 minutes. I wrote her name in pee on the ground (awww). Saturday Em was feeling kinda sick and ( Read more... ) -

Yesterday, since it was the end of formal rush, we sent them on a limo ride around Santa Monica with champagne bottles for each and a handle of Jack to finish collectively. The house was relatively quiet for an hour or so while ( Read more... ) -
A quick note
Day Two of Spring Quarter and it's already looking not so great. I'm just so anxious to get all these bullshit lower div pre reqs out of the way so I can start taking real classes. Not that I think once I get to the upper div classes, all bullshit will disappear to be replaced by intelligent classmates with intellectual discussions. But I'm at ( Read more... ) -
Check that off the list
Before I come back from mexico with something fun to write about, I can't forget to record this. Let me start with: How does it feel to be the instigator of a riot? Pretty fucking awesome I'll tell you that ( Read more... ) -
Slowly, painfully, but surely advancing towards Wednesday night
There's not much else to say, except I hate finals with a passion. One of these quarters I'll shape up and actually study like you're supposed to. But for now I'm stuck with trying to cram 10 weeks worth of physics, genetics, and psychology (ok the last one's a joke I just wanted to exaggerate) that I spent more time BSing than actually studying ( Read more... )
