"Let's take that hill!"
I know, I know, it's been forever. And I still have two papers to
write for my internship class before I go to bed at 11 so I can get up
at 5:30 am tomorrow. But who said a little (more) procrastination
ever hurt anyone?
I'll keep this post slim, down to the vital details:
INTERNSHIPS: are awesome! (although my boss at Warner Bros is a heinous flapping cunt, but that's waaaay beside the point) Lots of stuff to do at Mosaic, and tons of connections to build on the music side. I've definitely become part of the office community, and I often go out for drinks and party with my co-interns and coworkers. And I got like 25 free CDs from Warner, so it's not all bad.
WEST COAST LIFESTYLE: I had the Brown house to myself for two straight weeks while Sally explored Costa Rica with her sister. Being the good and responsible Eagle Scout that I am, I completely failed to have one of those bitchin' Animal-House-teen-movie house parties every kid with an empty house is required by law to have. But I did take good care of the dog, cat, and fish. And Watson, the cat, has finally warmed up to me, sitting in my lap and sleeping on top of the covers at night. Certainly a credit to his species.
HOLLYWOOD TYPE SHIT: saw a free screening of a new Sara Silverman stand up special....WICKED funny. Saw Gomez at the House of Blues Hollywood. Saw a free screening of "Inside Deep Throat", a documentary on - well, on "Deep Throat". Tomorrow, going to see the Watkins kids from Nickel Creek at venerable LA club Largo. Shared an elevator with Brittany Daniel. Momentarily glimpsed Will Ferrell and Kevin Sorbo in the office. Saw a free rock show from a band called From Satellite at the Key Club on Sunset Blvd.
WEATHER: Sunny. Breezy. Mid-60s. February what?
AWESOME NEW MUSIC YOU SHOULD LISTEN TO: Dogs Die in Hot Cars (new favorite!), Head Automatica, My Chemical Romance, Ted Leo + the Pharmacists, Green Day's "American Idiot" (what? you dont have it by now??), The Dears, Jesca Hoop, Madeline Peyroux, The Books, World Leader Pretend, Wilco's "Summerteeth" album (always excellent...probably the best CD I own, and certainly the finest album of its band's output), Graham Coxon, and Brian Wilson's "Smile". WHOA! GEEK OUT! Cred = plus ten thousand.
And I'm out. Lata, kids.
