i keep meaning to post and putting it off. it’s not like i’m busy or anything, what’s the deal?
alright i guess that’s not entirely true. i spent the afternoon writing ads for my class, which it turned out were pretty good based on class reaction to my presentation (laughter, which was the intent), teacher compliments (which are always good), and some personal remarks afterward. maybe i actually found a talent here. maybe everyone else is just really bad and it’s not hard to excel. time will tell.
did i forget to mention we saw spoon last (wednesday) night? well did we ever. i didn’t even own a spoon cd prior to that night, and i’d only heard a smattering of their songs. but they’re good. they’re very good. the show was just right on. i don’t know how else to say it. it was right there. right where it needed to be. kudos to those guys, and i picked up kill the moonlight and i’m enjoying it repeatedly. as an added bonus, standing in the crowd we found ourselves suddenly surrounded by the members of piebald, which was a surprise because they’re from boston so we didn’t know why they would be in LA, but a pleasant one because we love them. being torn between being friendly fans and lame guys that bother them when they’re trying to watch a show, we of course didn’t say anything to them (in hindsight, we should have i think), but maybe it was almost cooler just to be standing next to them thinking, “yeah, those are the guys from one of my favorite bands. pretty cool.”
i mean, my sister likes teen pop stuff. she’ll never get to stand next to one of her favorite singers. and look at me, mingling with rock stars. god, i’m so hot.
[now hearing this: silence. it’s time to get some sleep. but maybe i’ll put that spoon cd on one more time while i brush my teeth…]
