i am looking forward to winter break. i will be working at record and tape, seeing my baltimore friends, and enjoying the city. i know too that i will miss umass and that about three weeks into break, when all my baltimore friends have left for school, i will be so ready to go back to amherst. i miss it even after being away for a few days for Thanksgiving.
over break i want to read three books: the new cormac mccarthy, the new dave eggers, and "special topics in calamity physics" by marisha pessl. i would also like to start the new pynchon, which will probably take me the rest of the school year to read.
thom visited last weekend - my first non-umass friend to visit me at school. which makes him number one superfriend forever. apologies to the competition. we shaved his chester a. arthur into a kickin' mustache. which i think he shaved off after getting back to wesleyan, which is lame. there wasn't really anything to do, though. so we just sort of sat around and drank wine and played nintendo 64. sorry thom!
i have three weeks of classes left. i think i can bring my gpa back up, which means i won't lose my scholarship, but i should study hard.
apparently the xiu xiu folks are sending out the polaroids. hopefully i'll get mine soon. excited!
i just remembered i have to have a review of the new tom waits ready by monday. whoops!
i discovered Srabulous the other day and i'm a big dork.
