nothing like a rainy day in LA to remind you that what you’re really in the mood for is a nice 5-day weekend with nothing to do but read books and watch movies and not do anything really exciting for several days in a row. i gotta start thinking of the right time to get me one of those, hopefully in a couple weeks when i get some of the fat workload off my back.

i haven’t turned boring, i swear, just losing out on internet time. grindhouse was pretty much exactly what i expected and worth catching if the trailer appeals to you. the new ted leo album is decent if you like his past work. i’m trying to read more because i have a list of books i want to get to that’s stretching past the dozens at this point, and my desire to read them far outpaces my ability to sit down and do so. it’d be like feeling starving all the time but your mouth only lets you chew one bite per day — frustrating to say the least. hence the need for that long uneventful break i was telling you about.

on the productive side though i’ve ripped through some decent netflix movies and done boring stuff like finally get some cool posters framed i’ve had laying around for months. a couple are sitting right on the wall next to my desk as i type this and making my cubicle look significantly more artsy than it did previously. the real test is when an art director walks by and stops to say, ‘what is that? it’s cool.’ yeah, that’s right, i got mad design-school-graduate cred up in this workspace.

holy shit, coachella is only a weekend away… cross your fingers with me and pray to the goldenvoice gods that the arcade fire and decemberists sets don’t overlap.
