yeah so it's been a while (as usual) since i've written one of these.
it makes perfect sense that i'd write one now then since i don't want to start my paper. mmhmm..
today is absolutely no good, but i just need to get it over with. i should probably make myself go to the library to get this done. maybe later.
having papers looming over my head makes me fairly anxious.. moreso than with tests. i know ill get it done.. but eh.
ok time to catch up.
well for one thing this semester is almost over. we had 6 (endangered) bats living in our air conditioner several weeks ago. 6! we'd heard squeaking for a few days and yep, turns out they were bats. who knew. this apartment is silly and the landlord people suck but that just gives it "character."
i do love living with cindy, hannah, and megan though. well i've clearly always liked living with cindy, otherwise we wouldnt be living together for the 4th straight year like this.. but i just really like the dynamic we have here with the 4 of us. it's fun times.
it's cold outside. i hate winter. it just makes me not want to go anywhere..
i saw andrew bird twice. yes, it's true. once in newport, ky and the second time over thanksgiving break in chicago. head of femur opened both shows and wow how marvelous were these nights. there is just something about this Mr. Bird.. he is unlike any other performer and if you want to experience true art, see a musician who is completely connected with his music in a way that will just blow you away, do yourself a favor and see andrew bird live sometime (or 8 times) before you die (or after, i mean, if that's your thing).
Here he is in all his glory:
Another shot of Andrew Bird, this one from the cincinnati show
another from chicago
Head of Femur in cincinnati
Sara, Yasmina, Ben from head of femur, and myself.. i just like this picture. juwon took it and i think it looks like a painting.
TARGET RATS!
i'm still too scared to really talk to andrew bird. i don't know what's wrong with me. haha
it was great to see the head of femur again and they were sweet as usual. we hung out with them after each of the two shows and that was good times.
the rest of thanksgiving break was just okay, but andrew made up for the mediocrity. i basically just ate, watched curb your enthusiasm a lot, and read.
oh and before the chicago show, cindy, sarah, and i went to this turkish restaurant i looked up online because i am DYING to eat a kebap. i miss kebaps so much its getting ridiculous. i actually had a dream about eating one a few weeks ago. this is getting intense. so the restaurant did in fact have doner kebabs on the menu but it wasnt quite what i wanted.. but it was close.. hmm.. sigh.. one day my beloved kebap and i shall be reunited and there will be fireworks in the sky.
i asked our waiter if they had pitas and he didnt understand me. and then i guess he felt bad and brought us free dessert samples. also we felt that the place might have been a cover for the turkish mafia. .. it was fishy. with the couples coming in with flowers. the girl always had a fur coat and the guy wore black..
this past week has been so work-filled. and then i was really disappointed mid-week cause ryan was supposed to come here last thursday but it had to be pushed back (to this upcoming tuesday)so he could help his dad fix up a house. and that wouldn't be a big deal normally but it was fairly last minute information and we haven't seen each other in TWO MONTHS. i'm rather excited about tuesday, to say the least.
i just need to get this bloody paper done.
yes.
oh also if you go to wendy's, you should save your cup and give it to me. i'm not going to tell you why though. (unless i already told you. i probably did) i might already have 32 though. HA HA HA HA!
and listen to my radio show tomorrow night. it's going to be my last one of the semester.. and i would much appreciate it. just go to
http://www.wius.org at 11pm - 1am eastern time. thank you.
okay how about starting that paper..
