August 14th, 2011
Today, for fun, I listened to this song. A lot.
August 13th, 2011
Today, for fun, I watched Blue Velvet. It was decent, but I think the fact that I’ve already seen Mulholland Drive and just watched Twin Peaks made it seem less exciting/surprising.
August 12th, 2011
Today, for fun, I played around on the keyboard for a while.
August 11th, 2011
Today, for fun, I painted my fingernails like outer space and my toenails like kiwis while watching Toddlers & Tiaras and Dance Moms.
August 10th, 2011
Today, for fun, I went to see the Shins with Emily and discovered the amazingness that is Jessica Dobson. Definitely my new hero, she was playing lead when we saw her, and killing it.
August 9th, 2011
Today, for fun, I restarted reading David Byrne’s “Bicycle Diaries.” Here’s a good passage:
“I grew up in the suburbs of Baltimore…Like a lot of people, I grew to disdain the suburbs, their artificialness and sterility. But I could never shake them entirely. There was some kind of weird fascination and attraction that I (and I think many others) can’t quite get out of my system…My generation makes fun of the suburbs and the shopping malls, the TV commercials and the sitcoms that we grew up with—but they’re part of us, too. Though we couldn’t wait to get out of these places they are something like comfort food for us. Having come from those completely uncool places we are not and never can be the urban sophisticates we read about, and neither are we rural specimens—stoic, self-sufficient, and relaxed—at ease and comfortable in the wild. These suburbs, where so many of us spent our formative years, still push emotional buttons for us; they’re both attractive and deeply disturbing.”
August 8th, 2011
Today, for fun, I spent the second half of my break playing with a French Bulldog puppy.
August 7th, 2011
Today, for fun, I watched some Wifey with Mazykinz. Swoon.
August 6th, 2011
Today, for fun, I hugged Mazy. A lot.
August 5th, 2011
Today, for fun, I learned to play the intro to “Rocket” on the guitar. My 15-year-old self is so proud of me right now.
