Can't get this damn song out of my head. I wouldn't say it's my favorite song on the new Sunset Rubdown but the rhythm just grabs me and doesn't let go all day. It's like swimming in the ocean and then getting out and it still feels like you're feeling the pulse of the waves upon you. Except it's totally inescapable.

• I am almost done with The Sirens of Titan. It's been amazing. I don't have a lot of #1 favorites of any media. Lost is my favorite TV show, but I don't have a favorite album or a favorite movie. For the longest time, I never had a favorite book. Now I think I do.
• My 2nd interview at JHT went really well. The other proposal writer there told me that ( Read more... )

It's unfortunate when one of your favorite artists turns out to be one of the worst shows you've been to, but this was the case with Animal Collective. It wasn't so much that AC  put on a bad show as much as it was that Firestone is a sucky venue (though technically it is a club), and it was full of way way too many people.  It was sold out and ( Read more... )

I feel like fate is always fucking with me. But I don't believe in fate.  I don't believe in free will, either. I believe in *mostly* free but ultimately bound will.. Let me explain. Fate suggests in connotation that there is some intelligent order involved in predestination. It puts purpose and meaning behind happenings, but it is *us* assigning ( Read more... )

I wasn't alone on my birthday, and that was good enough for me.

I started reading "The Sirens of Titan." Definitely good so far. A little crazy but nothing I can't handle. Reminds me a bit of the themes of LOST.

My 24th birthday is in 3 days. The only thing I am doing that day is attending a birthday party for an ex-girlfriend's cat. That pretty much sums it up right there.

My recipe for good, lucid dreaming:

• 750mg gamma-Aminobutyric acid (GABA)
• 3mg melatonin

My friends have been my 4chan filter lately, since I can't really handle scrolling through all the ( Read more... )

• I like Mr. Lif but his voice sounds like he has a permanent cold.
• I'm so picky I can't even find a girl I like on The Sims 3.
• Really getting sick of that Michelob commercial with a Dodos song and that Bacardi commercial with a Matt and Kim song.
• Fallout 3 is beyond awesome and I dunno why I waited so long to play it thoroughly.

I made a Mad Men montage just because.

The LOST season finale was great.

Well if anything this has been a great year so far in terms of music. There've already been three albums I liked better than last year's favorite. This includes Dan Deacon's "Bromst," Cymbals Eat Guitars' "Why There Are Mountains," and of course Animal Collective's "Merriweather Post Pavilion." The order these will go in is still a matter of strong ( Read more... )
