self-titled: ^_^

i am a pathetic waste of human life. I was in bed until 2 today. Well, 1:45, but it may as well have been two o'clock. It's just terrible. Saturday was till noon. When I got up, everyone was in my room dead asleep, so as not to disturb them, i went across the hall where no one was and i watched two episodes of Drew Carey. Then i came back home and they were up, and i showered and started drinking and watching football. BC got shellacked against Va Tech, and at halftime, some beirut started. team lanky lost our 4th game, and then christina and I shut-out kate and tara and then lost to someone. and then a couple rounds of Kings were played with tim tara sean o and kate. After kings, oh we also had wings, anyway, our room was a fucking shithole. beer cans everywhere, wings on the floor, papers and cds strewn about. It's a bit cleaner now, but wow, was it a mess. we all left for some parties, i ended up walking around brighton following people from party to party on the phone with brenda, apparently things weren't that kicking because no one stayed at any one place for very long. It's funny, i was outside for so long, it's just amazing how many people you run into that you know. I walked home after trying to go the sean's and finding todd alone, ready for bed. apparently the party moved elsewhere, good enough for me. got to bed at around 4 or something dumb like that.

I forget if i talked about thursday, so i'll talk about friday. After class I came home, drank some beers and buffied it up. then went to our show. it was not the bostonians' finest hour, but i was trashed and that's life was a work of art. after our set, katie and I booked it to the wang center. The cabbie asked if we were parents and then asked what movie was playing at the Wang, and it was bizarre. we got there early enough to know that matmos probably wasn't worth busting our asses to see, but also late enough so that we weren't forced to sit through their entire set. their stuff on disc i've heard has been good, it has beats and innovation and stuff, but their live set was just slow and random.

bjork: 1 - frosti / overture / all is full of love / generous palmstroke / unravel / pagan poetry / cocoon / undo / play dead // 2 - you've been flirting again (icelandic) / isobel / anchor song (icelandic/english) / i've seen it all / army of me / hyperballad / bachelorette // e - joga / human behavior // e2 - in our hands

the first set was largely from vespertine and was largely very calm and serene and vespertinish. second set came out and grabbed us by the balls. the electronic stuff was just huge and in your face, and all the matmos contributions were placed around the four corners of the theatre and it was great. bjork was, well, cute as hell. she didn't speak much, but when she did it was so cute, and then she'd prance around and be all bjorkish and god she ruels. hyperballad and the unreleased in our hands were my favorites. hyperballad was like the album, with some orchestra flourishes, katie and i were hoping she'd do part of it with full out orchestra like the telegram remix, but it still ruled. the orchestra was tight. joga was great with only orchestra accompanyment. there was a choir of 10 innuit greenland girls, and they were mostly used for the first set, and also for isobel and then they had a crucial patty-cake role in in our hands. the show was awesome, and i've already forgotten it cost me $70.

We t'd it home, and then went to sean's still in our formal wear. there was a mass of people on the front steps. i went in, shed my jacket, hung out in sean's room a bit and then went out to the porch and hung with mike lori and katie. then the cops came, to little surprise. they weren't there for anything other than breaking up the party, and as far as i know the resident, "sean myers" as christina so deftly made up, is in no trouble.

but regardless, the party was now a wash. we bussed home, i came home, brenda was back from dracula, i dragged her to 830, some beirut was had with tim, then kate came back, then left, then john and darren got home in fine form, then they went their ways, and i went mine.

and that takes us to saturday morning, of which i've already talked. so then to today. after i got up, i did my late business systems homework, well on my way to becoming a VB and Access god, and then i went to rehearsal, we got some solid work done on ready to run. i went to late night, which was having some bizarre night of sub standard fried food, and then back home, saw a wint-o-green lifesaver spark. it's a dim blue phosphor glow, and i think i was too far away when looking at the mirror to see it go, but it works, and i know it now for sure.

then came ice cream night with the boys, and now i'm here, doing this and then making my homework look pretty and then probably some ready. the power and the glory has gotten a bit more enjoyable.
