Cheater.

I'm a cheater. I've been cheating on this blog with Tumblr and I've been cheating on Albert Hammond, Jr. with Mark Ronson. For these indiscretions, I apologize.

However, I'm back :) No one reads this, but I'm posting to make myself feel better. If I don't post, I'm going to go Dimmesdale on my ass and start whipping myself before I go to bed and ultimately die from a bleeding "A" I carved into my chest. <-That's a Scarlet Letter reference for anyone who hasn't read it. I actually enjoyed that book in high school, it's quite beautiful.

I love how I can say that now, "...in high school," as if I've been out for so long that it all seems like a distant, fuzzy memory. In a way, it does. I can't remember certain lunch room conversations I thought I'd remember forever. I don't really care, but high school wasn't as much of a miserable cliche as I have made it out to be. Could this be maturity? I don't know.

I'm sitting here, reading about Charles Manson and listening to Radiohead's Pablo Honey album. It really doesn't get old. I know Thom Yorke hates "Creep" but it's still brilliant and relevant. It's kind of like how "Don't Stop Believin" by Journey will never get old; "Creep" will live on in my iTunes forever. My children will consider it "oldies" but they'll even appreciate it.

Isn't that weird to think about? The music we listen to today will be considered "the oldies" to our kids/future generations? I can't imagine bands like The Strokes or Radiohead being considered "oldies." Fuck...I'm introspective right now, aren't I?

ANYWAYS-it looks like rain and it looks like I'm procrastinating. Shit.

Bright Young Thing.

it's been awhile since I've blogged, have I really been that busy? no, just lazy. no, not lazy -focused (except for on anthropology, that shit SUCKS). I've been reading Lolita more than anything I have to read for class. Is it strange I feel like a total perv for reading that? it's kind of like a bad car crash, I can't look away. now I'm kicking myself for utilizing that cliche...fuck. whatever, I'm blaming this ramble on the beautiful weather imparing my ability to focus and form a coherent sentence...post...blog?

as of late, I've joined the masses and went out to see the social network. 3 things: andrew garfield is a fox (but I've known that since the imaginarium of doctor parnassus), jesse eisenberg plays an asshole but gave him a heart...sort of but it's ok because i totally bought it, & finally -justin timberlake is the devil. he was so believable as a complete dick that it has TOTALLY made up for his mediocre crap he's been putting out musically.

in other news: I'd like a best friend. I've had the WORST luck in that department and I'd really like to have a maid of honor at my wedding one day, ya know? but, I really don't like many people my age -how horrible is that?

Fall Ball.

Lately, I've been liking UIC more and more. Sure, it's not as artsy as Columbia and there's not as much creative energy, but I'm loving the people I'm meeting and the things I'm doing. I'm stoked for the next 3 years, which may include getting an apartment, and I'm stoked for grad school in good 'ole NYC after that. I knew life was going to get better, it had to. Also, Jack just informed me that H&M is having an anniversary sale all this week. This means I will be doing my part in helping to propel the economy back into a healthy state! Sorry in advance mom & dad :(

ANYWAYS-I feel like I look like this every morning:


And all I've been listening to is John Lennon, Bruce Springsteen, Mystery Jets, Mark Ronson & The Business Intl, and Jenny & Johnny. Quite possibly my favorite playlist of the season :)

ALSO-I LOVE SKY FERREIRA! Seriousy...I adore her. "Obsession" is my obsession...lame? Isn't it weird when a musician is the same age as you but they seem so much better?...more weirdness.


Another obsession: Kanye West. His performance on SNL was fucking legendary. Everyone can hate on him, but STFU Taylor Swift fans, Kanye is beyond brilliant :)


...and that's all folks =p
