"Too much time spent, and I'm spent"

Well hello again, its been a while. Hopefully this will make up for that:

Discovery credit and much thanks for this one go to my friend Katie. This is perfection. Its so pure and absolutely gorgeous. I also recently purchased the new MGMT record Congratulations. Im not immediately wowed, but I am letting it sink in for a while before I fully decide (cause I so badly want it to blow my mind!) I've been without a phone for quite a few days now, I'm treating it as a cleansing sort of experience. Its been ok except the part where I find myself wandering around campus often looking for people cause I can't call them (absurd, I know). My four shots of espresso and serious lack of sleep are starting to work against me and not really in an amusing way. I also went to the Film Festival and saw the controversial and weird set of short films, which included a film called Feeder (its crazy, we couldn't stop talking about it.) I feel pretty good today cause I just turned in a big research paper. However, my teacher commented that it was radical, and I would like to say that if writing on the daily lives of ancient Romans is radical, I'm not sure what is normal. I am about to go play a concert, the first of THREE this week. Oh goodness, at least its almost summer!

Be Calm

Life has been crazy, no time to do anything, including sleep. Saw an amazing concert last week: Motion City Soundtrack, and a band I had never heard of called fun. Im quite obsessed with them. Check out Be Calm. Note how totally epic his voice is at the end. Hope you love it!

"Our ideas held no water but we used them like a dam"

Today please enjoy Missed the Boat by Modest Mouse.

Genius. Seriously. I just want to sit down and talk with these guys cause most of the time I feel like they are singing about my life. They are great at being deep but not really serious and uptight. It just makes me so content to listen to their music. And this song is so good. There are so many little details so you hear new things every time. And the lyrics are never predictable. Make sure you check out the rest of the cd too, you will not be disappointed.

So I just got back from my easter trip to Chicago. I have no pictures. Typical. I think that some people find that taking pictures adds to their experiences but for me it just sorta distracts me from it. So I suppose what happens in Chicago, stays in Chicago. Im just kidding, nothing sketch happened. Who do you think I am? Just lots of driving, meeting people and eating. Solid weekend.

But now back to school ( I find myself saying that a lot lately, do I really leave that often?). Right away I met with my advisor about next semester. I had planned on calming down and trying to give myself a little more free time but that got shot down almost immediately. Oh and summer school was suggested, thats how ridiculous the amount of things I want to do has become. I have to do it all though, I always do. Anyways, I am supposed to be reading Plutarch but honestly I am much more interested in Ovid and his scandals. Computers are so distracting. People are distracting. Life is distracting. I love it but it will be the death of me one day, seriously.

Don't miss any boats.
