I have been listening to this album while I get dressed in the morning.


School's well for now. Had a good day that began with the above, then chocolate and carrot sticks and a fun last English class, then to the dentist, then cake, now home in bed... somewhere along the way band practice, glue, drunk, pizza, smashed lenses, silly times, an unexpected comrade on the way home (with bonus funny conversation).

La carte postale en Chine



I found these images while working on a research paper on the ideology of the postcard in 19th-century China. This is some of the most beautiful penmanship I have ever seen; I am dying of envy. My own missives will never look so good!


In other news, I'm wearing shorts today:

A small but meaningful moment

Emilie posted this in one of her facebook albums:
Ignore the sentiment; LOOK AT THE PICTURE! It killed me for just a second here. Sunny Sunday morning. Time to get dressed and go outside.

This is so awesome. I wish Thurston Moore would give me advice about my Boy Troubles. The answer to the last one is spot on, actually (a different question than I would be asking, however)--
Q: Every time something goes wrong and I'm around, I get blamed. Even people I don't know blame me for things.
--Blamed in Stratford, CT

T: Next time someone blames you for something, look 'em straight in the face I and ask, "How may I correct this situation?" This will startle and dumbfound them. Then go up and kiss them lightly on the cheek and whisper, "No matter what happens, I will always love you." As you back away, grab your head and scream bloody murder and run like the wind.

Yes, yes!

Lung Leg, following advice

Listening to the Replacements, Pleased to Meet Me. I almost bought this on vinyl the other day buuuuut I hadn't heard it all the way through and didn't want to take my chances. Silly, 'cause I like the Replacements doing anything. Pretty good tho.

Cordial! I've been doing a lot of hand-shaking lately.

Also, bought S. Kracauer's The Mass Ornament today, haha!


Il faut que je le finisse!

Oh irony, oh exorcism

For Point A, please refer to yesterday's entry; for Point B, see the following:

Sometimes I try so hard to resist,
You say you will and I say you won't.
Sometimes I think that you don't exist
And sometimes you don't.
Pinch me 'cause I don't believe it,
Kiss me 'cause it feels like a hit,
I turn around and you're not there.
Why must it always be the less I see of you, the more I care?
You're determined to make me as miserable as you can,
You're like Harry Houdini or the Invisible Man.
Count 10 and then down again:
9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1
Doing everything they say shouldn't be done,
More fun than you can have with your clothes on.
Pinch me 'cause I don't believe it,
Kiss me 'cause it feels like a hit,
I turn around and you're not there.
Why must it always be the less I see of you, the more I care?
You're determined to make me as miserable as you can,
You're like Harry Houdini or the Invisible Man,
I turn around and you're not there.
Why must it always be the less I see of you, the more I care?
The less I see of you, the more I care,
The less I see of you, the more I care.



To discover this on the bonus disc while driving home today was the best thing that could have happened. And now on to: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=muFE3BgSPWU.

A lot of the time these days I feel like this:

And like this:


It's not all bad!

I lied! Yesterday was pretty good!

This is going to be a very bad day. Oatmeal exploded in microwave, and no day can get any better from this point.
