I'm Not Gonna Teach Your Boyfriend to Dance
by Black Kids

Went to work, got out at 4:30, came home, watched the Bieber movie with Jessie. Asked her to go watch Thor, but she refused. Took Ruth instead-- we needed to catch up. Went to Borders to wait in the meantime, for the 2 hours before the movie started. Took her home afterwards and came home once again, mind-set to work in the morning.

Too Shy
by Kajagoogoo

Woke up to go to work this morning at 9:30. Walked in to Victor quitting the buy. It was a dark morning. I stayed around MP3 the whole day, occasionally going to DI when it was swamped. Ferdinand switched with Vicky today, and when we got out at 4, I accompanied her to a pawteh at Tropical Park. Came home first, changed, ate some pan con bistec, and got frazzed at my Dad for having an unnecessary bad attitude. At the park we made new friends and made fun of the antisocials. It wasn't anyone's birthday! We were invited to an after-party at one of the kids' house, and spent the evening playing cards and socializong around the pool. Sugar gliders? Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Dick. Came back home and went to Publix, then went to pick up David and came home to play Portal 2. Got past my crazy difficult level, and at half past Mother's Day, those crazy kids went home.

What You Know
by Two Door Cinema Club

Yesterday was supposed to be a beach day in the morning... HA HA HA. I got up at around 1, got to work at around 2:30 only to discover that everyone had the day off! Habíamos tres en la oficina, la de la prensa, el voluntario yo. Y aún así fui el último en irme. I took the time to make a bajillion copies to add to my super secret screener library that no one knows about. Muahaha! Got out of work at 7 something, at which point a part of my family, which was headed to the beach, came to pick me up to walk around Ocean Dr. and Lincoln Road. I took them through Venetian Way with Diliana's C-Pass and got to drive back to downtown to pick up my car. Drove mum crazy on the road! Not funny. Got to Itita's for some depression on the rocks and then bolted home, watched two Skinses while talking to Mileini and went to bed. This is a Midnight Deep Track, provided by the one and only - the chick that brought you Rock Kills Kid - the Sound's Solo Music Correspondent. Get the jam here.

Don't Turn the Lights On
by Chromeo

Billie Holiday Genius morning
Mysterious stop-by of Itito
Went to work, worked on Welcome packets and ticket stuffing for Filmmakers and Programmers
Got out supah late, home at around 9
Ate, watched about 6.6 minutes of American Idol and Matt Damon's bit on Ellen, and then got to planing my schedule for the festival week. I have been missing too much class, and it's not looking like the upcoming week will change that.
It's 12:32 and I haven't prepared for reacting tomorrow. Class in 8 hours and I NEED TO GO. The Force is going to HAVE to be with me on this one, and subsequently for the rest of the week.

The Seaweed Song
by Passion Pit

Someone complimented me on my taste in music today? That wasn't strange.. nah.
This morning I went to school in preparation for Marat and Hebert's trial, and for the map quiz. Well, the map quiz was postponed and the fugitives escaped with half the assembly. WHAT.... THE.... Did that seriously just happen? Is this seriously happening? I just thought of Michael Clayton.

Alright, I just bought Michael Clayton. Where was I?

Right. Crazy Assembly meeting today, followed by the MIFF pit event. Gave absolutely everything away. All of it's gone, and we got some sign-ups to volunteer at the festival. Cool! Took the film guides and Reel Seminar pamphlets I set aside to UM, and presented in front of an actual film class. In a studio! I'd go to school there, legit. I said 'legit' a lot today... Met Lisa Gottlieb, who was the nicest lady. Came home, thought about schools and Fafsa, and went out again, to Pads' house. B-day cake and food and shiz, and then came home after seeing my long lost family. They tried to win me out in the movie game, but could not. Alas, a certain bald cineast could not. At home, watched White Collar with the fams and American Idol (?), and had a heart to heart with a french region.

Little Secrets
by Passion Pit

Woke up to work on my Urban Ecology paper, take a shower, and go to work. There I worked on the Skedge the whole day, taking an early break to unload and store away 200,000 cases of Stella Artois. Skedgework, Danette's Birthday, Skedgework, vegan cake, etc. Completely forgot about a meeting I was supposed to be in at UM, and had to set up an impromptu outreach proposal for tomorrow after the pit event.
Got home to eat, and left for faction meeting at FIU with our new order. King joined in, skedged the assembly for tomorrow, and went home with Mileini to have a depressing moment. It was one of those times where we both talk about shit we don't want to talk about, and then we realize that we may actually be better friends than we thought. Dark chocolate coffee and some kind of Frankenstein's monster iced tea was what appealed to us at Walgreen's on the way home. Separate ways at around 12:30-- France map quiz tomorrow, among other bullshit.

Kalimba
by Mr. Scruff

Panther Pro banquet and shopping w/ tia for some presents and shizz. I was in a pretty gnarly hurry today, but thankfully everything turns out alright. Mr. Scruff always gets the blood flowing. Indulged in some late-night Elliott Smith, and I'm enjoying reading Kharla's musical education. Love me some BB King.

The Reeling
by Passion Pit

CRW today, as well as finally getting to my Civilian Conservation Corps/Pride of the Bowery essay and watching an unnecessary bunch of TV. I haven't finished my essay, but I have big plans for tomorrow! lol After this coming week I'll pretty much be free from school assignments, and I'll be able to focus on sorting my email and applying for scholarships! I lead an exciting life. Late at night I planned on hauling my dad back home from his party phase (WOOOOO!), but he made it home before I got the chance. Hehe, sneaky. Anyway, I got to listen to this sweet sweet tune on the way. Passion Pit hits home, people! Invest.

Drove 6 hours from Gainesville and went straight to class when I got to Miami-- awake in Reacting, asleep in History of Film. Ñó. Rough day. Asleep by 7 P.M.

Yes Man
by Munchausen by Proxy

part of THE SOUND's Summer Series 2010

I learned to drive a year ago today, and for the first time, en route to my first Broadway play, I wasn't afraid to go the speed limit on I-75. There's a curb I'd always be insecure on, and for some reason-- I'm not sure if it was the adrenaline of Munchausen, an incredible coincidence, or a combination of both-- today I made the trip at 70 flat, curbs and all, and I made it.
