This is Shiny. It’s the last cover I’ll do before college, and probably the last video I’ll have for a while. I don’t think the roomies — yes, roomies, ResLife somehow decided a quad would be good for asocial me — will like it if I sit there banging on my guitar. Also, I’ll have [...]
We know you hate them, but we don’t care. We call this one “Metropolis,” and we think it’s pretty awesome.
Okay, so I fail at blogging. I have a tendency to start entries and save them as drafts and read them later and go, “Wow, this sucks, I’m so not posting it.” And even now, I’m not expending the energy it takes to make a real post, because that’s energy I could put towards stuffing [...]
This happened about a week ago, but for those of you who missed on LJ, Facebook, or any other of my various ‘net haunts: I was accepted to UChicago! The financial aid estimate has yet to arrive and I still love almost all the other LACs on my list (yeah, all two of them), so [...]
I can’t think of anything really to write about, but I feel compelled to by….stuff.
1. I always feel like giving people a video to watch, and since I like music…music videos! I don’t usually dig live music all that much (such a weird music fan), and I’m not that big of a Mountain Goats fan [...]
(04:44:17 PM) seth: hey baby, do you have time to make a post soon?
(04:44:19 PM) me: hehs.
(04:44:25 PM) seth: i’m kinda tired of this atheist debate stuff >_>
Point taken. However, I refuse to actively strive towards coherence because I just devoted most of my brain to explaining why I’m an awesome fit for Bryn Mawr, [...]
Just a little.
I’m not sure whether to commend myself for retaining some little bit of the child in me, switching off the light switch and dashing like mad back into the covers where the monsters can’t get me. Not that I ever thought of it in terms of monsters. I never put a face on [...]
Hell, I even went through a phase where I believed that (I’m Not Your) Steppin’ Stone was a hidden jewel of “fuck you I’m going to do what I want” in the vein of Tom Petty’s I Won’t Back Down.
Not your steppin’ Stone! Not. Your. Steppin’. Stone.
(AH-ah-AH-ah-Ahhh.)
Listening to it again, I’m not sure I’m entirely [...]
Last night I downloaded FutureSex/LoveSounds, the Timberlake/Timbaland collab that the indie community pounced all over soon after Pitchfork’s 8.1 review1. I know I’m a year late, but I needed time to deny my love for SexyBack (which I still believe was never a natural occurrence, but a result of spending too much time with my [...]
Beware, miscellany awaits you!
I can’t tell you how fortunate it is that my shocking, come from behind advance to puberty was coincided by a steep rise in the amount of razor blades society has deemed fit to put on a razor. I understand that there were devices that existed before the Era of Many [...]
