"If I could have a second skin, I'd probably dress up in you."
As many of you may know, my New Year's Resolution was to refrain from listening to leaked music. Obvious reasons for this being to be able to get back to a life of high anticipations for new releases - WHEN THEY ARE ACTUALLY RELEASED. Rushing to the record store to pick it up, popping it in asap, going crazy, etc. Also, not stressing about whether or not those spaces between the songs, or that unique sounding recording is intentional or not.. uh huh.. fuck it.
With that being said, I picked up the new Belle & Sebastian this afternoon, followed the standard "new release" routines.. and it's a wonderful feeling. The best I've felt in a while, at least from music.
Combine that with a few hours at the gym, and I almost don't care about the bitches at my school who can't drive, the sleep deprivation, or the nonexistence of cigarettes in my life.
And now for the story of the day:
So I guess there is a band called "Wow, Owls!" who are playing a show here on Friday. This afternoon I was quickly skimming my LJ friends page when I noticed something that said, "Wow, Owls! show." Which translated into my incredibly exhausted brain as something like, "Wow! Owls.. are, for some fucking insane reason, back to together.. playing a show.. in North Carolina!!!" So for about 3-4 minutes I'm freaking out, shaking uncontrollably, trying to call someone in Chicago about this.
I was honestly two seconds away from a total meltdown, when I decided that I should go back to read the rest of the post... where at that point, it became apparent there was not the slightest Tim Kinsella connection what-so-ever. And ugh. Complete excitement/insanity to complete let down/humility in five minute time span.
Anyway, if you want the more exciting story of my day involving gross cars and gross girls, feel free to contact me privately.
