should we go outside?
asks Joanna Newsom. It's 11:52pm and I'm still at school. Story of my life, really. Olivia and I are working on our second sound project, and it's amazing. But I need to sleep before my body gives into exhaustion and fatigue. There really hasn't been anything especially notable in these past 2 or 3 weeks (nothing that most people aren't already aware of) so I present to you a collage of sorts in list form.
1. Vivian, Shazia, and I saw Xiu Xiu again this past Thursday. I could go on for hours about how amazing the sets are now with the addition of drummer Ches Smith, and how I would marry Jamie Stewart lord willing, but I shall refrain. It was an amazing feeling, seeing one of your favorite bands for the 5th time and still feeling just as excited and elated during the show as I was 4 years ago.
2. The new Joanna Newsom album is beyond superb. She has this unique gift of weaving these complex story lines through song, yet they still retain the intimacy with the artist that is so desired.
3. Christmas is quickly approaching, and although it's not even Thanksgiving yet, I already feel behind on my holiday shopping. There are the family, the girls, and of course secret santa here in san diego. Plus, I'm excited to see Katie again.
4. I feel like I've aged more this quarter than in my entire life combined. I've definitely learned a lot about what I want and the type of person I am. I realized that you really do mold your own existence within the world. There aren't excuses but only moments of weakness where one accepts less than they deserve. Human behavior is so random and oftentimes just plain stupid. But the point of living is to prevent these moments of weakness, when one settles for less, or nothing at all. I suppose this really only makes sense in my muddled thoughts, but for now, even if only for this single moment, I feel whole again.
