Ragged Wood by Fleet Foxes was actually stuck in my head the entire day. It still is. I'm humming it. I'm humming it now. It's torturing me that I've already used it on here! Today was pretty eventful, and it got better as it progressed. Started off with the grass in the back, then went to school for the 2010 Honors Convocation. HONORS FOR LIFE!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

As soon as I heard this song I stopped humming Fleet Foxes. IT'S PERFECT FOR TODAY.
Hung out with Kharla at convocation and at the ASU meeting, got some crazy Rachelle time, joyrided on and almost fell off of a golf cart bursting at the seams with artwork, toasted with the Dean and the honors board to a successful convocation, laughed a lot, took Naty to the CSO meet & greet for some free food and club interaction! Then off to class, where I met up with Mileini, who's always fun to be with. Came home and wrote my poem, a protest on being forced to rhyme. It was a success of a day, and this song... fitting is an understatement. Peace, peeps. Keep it real.

Swim Until You Can’t See Land
by Frightened Rabbit

Creative writing today.
RAINIEST MUH FUKKIN DAY
Ever. So much so I got out of work and my impenetrable sneakers became compromised. Got home, rolled up my pants, and ran through the street.
Bought Run Lola Run on blu-ray today! Almost done with 6 Feet Under
I fear for my future academic accomplishments (or lack thereof).
Peace
Today was generally awesome
OH! Submitted my radio application earlier... Very eerie, the beacon office. {shiver}
Wish me luck tomorrow! May the Friightened Rabbit be with you.

The Librarian
by Laura Jane Scott

Today was a sigh of relief. The Athens game has officially started, and the quiz went better than I expected! To discuss the game further would be a breach in protocol.

This new girl's Feist-y. This tune was featured on yesterday's Castle, which I ended up watching twice today.. once at around midnight, and once again a couple hours ago with everyone. They have a great music supervisor on that show.. Shit is pretty serious. Fitting.

Nonchalant Events:
Pop quiz in History which I think I survived
CSO general meeting (first of the year)
Drivin' Anais home [another somewhat musically enlightened being walks among us]
Hanging out at home watching Monday and Tuesday night TV with the family
Castle & Chuck ftw

There She Goes
by The La's

This song is preceded by the first two seconds of "Where Is My Mind?" by the Pixies.
Woke up today (at 11:10) feeling like crap for having missed class for no reason. Got nagged at a little later on in the day, after doing some recording for the CD I made and writing my thesis for the essay due at 6:30. PM. Break for hygeine, continued writing. I spent a surprisingly little amount of time with my mom today considering the fact that it was her birthday: I had to finish writing for class, then the relatives were here, then I had to leave for class, then I got home after 10 with ice cream and our present. I wasn't as involved as I wish I'd been today, but I guess it was a good gift. All previous doubts: erased. All time spent away: forgiven. All future crimes: absolved. That last one may not be right. So, Pixies, then the La's.
Happy B-Day, everyone born on September 27th. Happy B-Day indeed.

To Lisa Shea: The album cover is an homage. For you, this.

Tighten Up

Spent the day slothin' at home, trying to catch up on my reacting reading for Tuesday, neglecting my essay due tomorrow. I guess I'll get up early and burn through my break time to get it done. When will I learn?

Beach Baby
by Bon Iver

I feel like I should save this for a sadder day, and I'll probably regret that I'd already used it when that day comes since it's such a great song, but I'm using it today because of the giant shadow of things-to-do weighing over me. It was playing in my head as I rolled out of bed uber late this morning, and as I got ready for and drove to work. Of course I got there and my mentality changed completely as it always does, and it became less whiney and more "I'm here to help." I really do like where I work. And there may be days that I don't want to even go, but then I get there and there's so much fun that I can't believe I'd even thought of not going. That's what I need my career to be like, and hopefully one of the three things I'm studying will do it for me. Anyway, Beach Baby. Enjoy it.

Don't Lie
by Black Eyed Peas

TanananananananaPaintball!
Despite my listening to "An Album Half-Exposed" like 3 times on the way to and from the Paintball fields, It's Don't Lie today. I've been feeling it for a while; I think it's my favorite BEP song. Went to work at 4, and came home to la despedida de Mercedes with the family either curda or getting there. Lol

Knotty Pine
by Dirty Projectors & David Byrne

The Reacting Game for Athens starts Tuesday and I have a paper due Monday for Luca.
I'm crapping in my pants.

Went to Reacting and to Intro to Film today, and stopped by a hipstery tea place with Mileini-- saw JPal's work and stayed around for like 10 minutes before kicking it [or whatever the kids call bolting these days].
Dale con dale! Wish me luck this weekend; I'm going to need it.

Ragged Wood
by Fleet Foxes

(Kind-of) learned about ancient art in reacting and had an info session on the Czech SA program in History (!). Got home, biked to the buy and got Fleet Foxes' record (it comes with an EP!), went back home to watch some scrubs and then indulge in some not-too-shabby tunes. Fleet Foxes: a mild ovation is in order.

by Diane Birch

Admttedly, this song is far too depressing for today. I chose it because the first line was stuck in my head for most of the day-- even at work, where it's usually old-school crunk stuck in there in between customers. This little-known Birch is still pretty good, even though the first half of the song screams "kill yourself!" and the second half is reminiscent of the inevitable inspirational scene present in every movie Whoopi Goldberg made in the '90s.

I Think Ur A Contra
by Vampire Weekend

At some point between midnight and the time I fell asleep before getting up to start the day, I wrote my place poem, and it seemed unfinished for some reason.
After school and everything with it: Pyron's lecture on classical Greece, making the panther promo banner, and jokes in Film with Mileini, I came home, stared at something for a while, and had a conversation. An actual conversation.

FunFact:

Death Rattles
by Woods

Got caught on the bike in a rainstorm, and sat through three hours of drying off during History of Film. Blips of this song were stuck in my head at weird points all throughout the day... Which is fitting, seeing as I saw the latter half of season 3 of Six Feet Under. :>

Paralyzed
by Rock Kills Kid

Went to class, tripped to uncle sam's w/ Vicky, read for class, slept, went back to class, watched Chuck, procrastinated reading and researching for tomorrow's brainstorming session in reacting-- trang's going to have my head.
Got this cool recommendation from Mileini

Backwards Walk
by Frightened Rabbit

The day started when I came home from the game (which, incidentally, Bernard was also at) with a broken table and this song stuck in my head. This led to a ridiculous discussion about how to manage the club from my "negociante" father, and to my watching the first episode of Chuck, season 3. It was about the seventh time, and it was awesome.
Fast forward through sleeping until 1, hanging out at Itito's, and getting some online errands run. Play.
Best Buy physical inventory today. Had fun doing the most tedious job known to humankind, because it was the company that made the night. This song is for the day, before PI and all that came with it, but getting home at 2:30 I can't help but genius playlisting it and making it work for the night, too.
Signing off.

I Am the Cosmos
by Pete Yorn & Scarlett Johansson

It was a strange day that didn't turn out at all how I thought it would.
Started at the velada at midnight, and ended after what I never expected to say was said.
In secondhand news, David critiqued my poem's vagueness online, and then made me read it in class. Confusing? I'd say so.

Let's Get It On
by Marvin Gaye

I'd been prepping for the debate we finally had today: what turned out to be the prudes against the perverts. We had to argue against government regulation of sex between consenting adults in the U.S., and this felt like today's only logical choice.
I filled the rest of the day by going to my History of Film class (thanks to Mileini), submitting my Experience poem (far earlier), and spending a ridiculous amount on season 3 of the best. Show. Ever. Which, irresponsible as it may be, I completely justify.
