Three things:
1) MC Frontalot and Optimus Rhyme TONIGHT at the Western Front in Cambridge. It's $10. GO SEE THE SHOW. Show some love for the nerdcore hiphop.
2) The Hidden and The Boston League of Women Wrestlers (featuring the one and only Punk Rock Todd) are performing TOMORROW at PA's in Somerville, and it's only like $8. Bury the Needle will also be performing....

I saw the Pet Shop Boys at the Opera House last night, and it was one of the most amazing things I have ever seen. I was about 5 rows from the stage. Neil Tennant was this close. It was glorious.

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds' albums Abattoir Blues/The Lyre of Orpheus are things I've had since release on my computer, and it feels immensely good to finally own the beautiful 2CD set. Not to mention that the second album, The Lyre of Orpheus, is absolutely one of my favorite albums ever. Seriously. Go listen to it now.

Mmmm, music. Tastes like what makes life worth living!

Dude, I have been having some craaaaaaaaaaaaazy dreams lately, and last night you were in one. I just remember that I'd posted about going somewhere on my blog and you and I forget which Suicide Girl wanted to go, but when we got there it was a complete disaster and involved a mattress that wouldn't expand? I dunno, it was freakin' weird.
Harvard Square, for whatever reason, really brings out my creativity. I've spent a number of afternoons this past week sitting in the park outside Grendel's Den and drawing. I've filled up several pages in my sketchbook and written/drawn several comics. Yayz.
Sadly, a new temp job starting tomorrow means this lifestyle will be coming to an end. I guess that's what the weekend is for?...

God I wish I didn't enjoy the song "Welcome to the Black Parade" as much as I do. I feel... dirty.
And Gerard Way looks like my friend Kevin. Weird.

I competed in the Brattle's spelling bee tonight. I did not win. The word that tripped me up was gemutlichkeit. You wouldn't have gotten it either.
But I DID get a cool hat. That made it worth it. And a book called 100 Words to Make You Sound Smart
This weekend: BBQ for Justice. BE THERE OR BE SQUARE.

I know I just posted yesterday.
But we're having a Autumn BBQ this Sunday. It's gonna be awesome. I'm wicked excited!!
Grilling meats + pumpkin-flavored beer == WIN.

Some of my mom's advice on beer is to never drink anything associated with fish, with the exception of Bass. Every other one she's had she's hated. And she the type to go to beer tastings. Just sayin'.
paisley:
What the fuck is this country's deal with drinking age? I need to get my snob on but fast, and I can't because I can't buy my own fucking beer. Damn the government. Damn them to...someplace hot and smelly. Like Rush Limbaugh's asscrack.
I don't care how cheesy the song is, I still like "Ariel" by October Project. Chamber Goth FTW.
Things What Should Be Purchased Legally Tomorrow:
- Songs of Faith and Devotion and maybe A Broken Frame reissues
- The Little Mermaid on DVD
- Not the new Killers CD (how does the single suck so bad?)
- X-Men: Trilogy. Maybe. I'm weak, and don't own...

So I don't know if you've seen Weird Al's video for "White 'N' Nerdy", but he holds up an edition of Monty Python and the Holy Grail in it. I was watching it on my computer with some friends, and I had to pause the movie and point to it on my bookshelf (along with the book by Stephen Hawking right above it and several other things around my area that he mentions in the song).
That's all.
That's all.
I went shopping for food and pretty things for my apartment today. I got some glasses from Crate and Barrel. I'm cool. STFU. I also got a frame for my Beauty and the Beast cel (shut up, I love that movie), and the new Scissor Sisters CD (buying music? wtf.). It's good. Some songs strike me as something Elton John might have sung in his...

i just saw an anime with a very Beaty and the Beast storyline, but it was waaaay better than Beauty and the Beast. It's called Howl's Moving Castle. It's awesome. It's so awesome i bought it. And i don't buy DVDs.
i DO buy music tho. i buy CDs like a fiend. It's compulsive and addictive. I can't go into a store that has CDs without buying at least one. And i don't even feel bad about it. So nya!

I had amazing roommates last year, and even though we lived in a quad we never fought. But one went abroad this semester; she was replaced by my cool-but-kinda-boring roommmate. The frosh entered the picture when a second previous roommate's parents decided that, since they live in Boston, her punishment for losing her free ride would be to commute from home. The office of housing put this demonchild in her place, and for that I will hate them eternally.
I have spent a fair amount of my day and even more of my evening wresting with this damn Debian box, trying to set up the Linux file server for my apartment. Will it be worth it, in the end? I cannot say for sure. But I'll be proud of myself, albeit in an exceedingly nerdy way.
I would go on and on about it,...

TUX RACER!!!
I'm writing a comparison of beauty as portrayed by Petrarch's Italian love sonnets and Michelangelo's ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, and how the forms that they each chose affected how the beauty is portrayed and interpreted. *snooze*

Well that's because you've never had a sexual favor from me.
That being said, I've already written 942 words, and I haven't done an introduction or conclusion yet, so it wouldn't be as difficult if someone wanted to come along and finish it. But it'd probably be better for me in the long run to finish it myself and pass off some of that archaeology busy work I've got due soon. CRAP, that's all it is.

So I'm off to see the Patriots game tonight with my friend Joe. Not before popping in on a BBQ hosted by my friend Clint, though.
A pleasant Sunday indeed!
Unemployment is fun, but I wish I had the money to sustain the lifestyle.

Joanna Newsom is coming to the Museum of Fine Arts for college night, yeah, I'm pumped. Badly Drawn Boy will be at the Paradise on the 10th, the Scissor Sisters are at the Orpheum on the 22nd, and then in November there's the Decemberists on the 4th, Ani DiFranco on the 10th, Bob Dylan on the 11th (&12th, but my parents gave me tickets for my birthday on the 11th), AND December 1st My Morning Jacket comes to rock my world. Yay, music!
Sometimes I draw things. This is one of those times.

Dude, that's depressing. And also quite good.
