fall quarter is just the worst. i want to stay outside and soak up the atmosphere instead of going to class and doing work.
i didn’t go to class today because i probably would have sent myself into a state of shock if i did. it was just one-of-those-days.
yesterday i spent the whole day watching charlie chaplin films and then watched chaplin with robert downey jr. that man is so charming and amazing and such an influence. i simply love him. (both charlie and robert)
besides charlie, i spent the whole weekend listening to kate bush which was just an awful idea. i’ve never fully sat down and listened to kate bush, so i decided to do that this weekend, and then i became obsessed and had her on repeat all weekend long (no joke) and kate’s music seems to be like a great idea at the time, but after a weekends worth you realize how incredibly depressing it is and you just wasted an entire weekend of your life being depressed, but for some un-be-known reason you still want to crank up the volume and hit play on “cloudbusting” because it’s just that good.
(and although that video is !@#$ing out of it’s mind, i still watched because of donald sutherland)
(actually, don’t watch that, it’s awful. just close your eyes or play it and move onto something else. the song is really what should be paid attention too.)
in non-depressing music conversation, have you listened to julian casablanca’s “11th dimension?” if you answered no to this question, then find it now and play it. it’s pretty awesome.
lastly, this weekend i had a pretty nice, deep conversation with someone i didn’t know, and it was nice. i think everyone wants to clear their mind now-and-then and become very intellectual for the span of a conversation, and to do so with a stranger because they won’t judge you. i really appreciate those conversations, so anytime anyone is up for one, find me.
xoxo,
