self-titled: ^_^

weird, this pilsner urquell actually reminds me of prague. oh man, what a trip that was. sigh.

ok so i worked, and left the gd career center and could not be happier about that, yo. then after work i came home. NO. i got a haircut and dropped off some dry cleaning but forgot the pants i really wanted cleaned, oh well. then i came home. what'd i do here you ask? really nothing. played ao for a while and then got onto my bed and slept for two hours. a pretty sad sight.

then around 10:45 katie and adam told me we were going to foxwoods. i got very excited, because doing spontaneous shit like that is what i'm all about, but ultimately, as should have been expected, they bailed. and i was sitting there with a toothbrush in hand at the bottom of my barrel.

so i lied down again and stewed. i had no real other alternatives other than to wallow in misery, that's what happens when you live in a basement with no tv and no one's around.

then i got up and checked the zbc concert report and found out that certainly sir and soviet were playing at TTs, so i went. I missed certainly sir, but caught soviet's entire set. it was great.

the band has a guitar, and 3 keyboard based instruments. i felt like i was at a high school dance in the breakfast club. everyone was there, molly ringwald, ally sheedy, judd nelson, emilio estevez with one hitch - they were all gay. seriously, there were more gays and lesbians there than i've ever seen in one place in my life. anyway, i'm not kidding, it felt like a 1980s movie high school dance. it was great. there was one guy dressed like a dork, one guy dressed like an late 80s punk with the jean jacket and what not, the singer was just all modded out with the sportcoat and t-shirt look, then there was post-apocolypse german guy on guitar wearing a sleeveless dress shirt with his tie strangely sculpted, and then there was amanda. oh, amanda. she had the 1950s librarian look with a sprockets attitude. kind of liv tyler in the facial structure but with less lips. plus, she had glasses on which just drives me wild. and they were those 1950s butterfly glasses to boot, oh sweet sweet retro fashion. mmm. i even got to talk to her briefly after the show.

anyway, a band i never heard before worked their way into my heart and cd collection and saved this night from utter disaster.

listening to the cd now. i can't believe that this is my scene. it's not right. this is ultimately thin music. but christ, i just can't get enough of it. throw some keyboards, drum machines and detached vocals at me and i melt like butter.
