Right, so I haven't updated in approximately ever. During that time many things happened. Amongst them:
I went to Costa Rica for two weeks. It was warm.
I spent the past two weeks walking to classes in Evanston, where it is 15 degrees and feels like -5. Evanston is nothing like Costa Rica.
I was home for a small amount of time, some of which I spent with
noleafclover_nw, during which time we went to the Alameda Pub and had what remains by far and away the world's best cheesecake.
During my time at home I did not see my other best friend, although Elliott and I went and talked to his mom for about an hour. She is the coolest person on earth. I think we made her really miss Spencer, though =\.
I came back to Northwestern. See above comment on weather.
I played two radio shows. Tracklists are below.
The Private Lounge 1.05.2005
I took some inspiration from the snowstorm outside and played a lot of IDM. City Centre Offices and Morr Music make big appearances, unsurprisingly. Went pretty well; a ringing endorsement was got from
nakdsweatee as well as
nickdiscredit. Also, notably, the first show in the new timeslot; I now play 11:00pm Wednesdays and follow what remains of Subsystence with Ken and Karl Meier.

The Private Lounge 10.19.2005
This show was based on an idea I've been kicking around for some time (read: roughly since I heard Four Tet - Unspoken for the first time) of dedicating a mix to my two best and oldest friends. To push the point, I got an assignment on Friday in my basic acting class to make one person smile and two people happy (as well as one embarrassed and two uncomfortable, but that's unrelated and for later). So...I hope this worked. :D
