Rolls Bayce by Battles
About Today
- The boys from Battles know how to put on a fantastic show
- I will be a yellow jacket next semester (ahh!)
- A really engaging show can go on for hours, when it feels like it has only been no more than fifteen minutes
- I think the dorkiest possible look for me is the Milhouse VanHouten look. I will strut it this Halloween. I like it.
- Did I mention Battles puts on a great show?
Listen to some spoooky sounds on WRAS just in time for Halloween from 8-10pm EST tonight. HERE.
Sometimes I feel like I can get nuffin’ right, but I can listen to Rilo Kiley, which makes any situation 47% better.
SUCCESS
Bought my brothers their Halloween costumes online as an early Christmas present. MAKE WAY FOR SCOOBY DOO AND EINSTEIN THIS HALLOWEEN (both their choices, just shows how awesome they are).
“First, Lord: No tattoos. May neither Chinese symbol for truth nor Winnie-the-Pooh holding the FSU logo stain her tender haunches. May she be Beautiful but not Damaged, for it’s the Damage that draws the creepy soccer coach’s eye, not the Beauty. When the Crystal Meth is offered, may she remember the parents who cut her grapes in half. And stick with Beer. Guide her, protect her when crossing the street, stepping onto boats, swimming in the ocean, swimming in pools, walking near pools, standing on the subway platform, crossing 86th Street, stepping off of boats, using mall restrooms, getting on and off escalators, driving on country roads while arguing, leaning on large windows, walking in parking lots, riding Ferris wheels, roller-coasters, log flumes, or anything called “Hell Drop,” “Tower of Torture,” or “The Death Spiral Rock ‘N Zero G Roll featuring Aerosmith,” and standing on any kind of balcony ever, anywhere, at any age. Lead her away from Acting but not all the way to Finance. Something where she can make her own hours but still feel intellectually fulfilled and get outside sometimes And not have to wear high heels. What would that be, Lord? Architecture? Midwifery? Golf course design? I’m asking You, because if I knew, I’d be doing it, Youdammit. May she play the Drums to the fiery rhythm of her Own Heart with the sinewy strength of her Own Arms, so she need Not Lie With Drummers. Grant her a Rough Patch from twelve to seventeen. Let her draw horses and be interested in Barbies for much too long, For childhood is short – a Tiger Flower blooming Magenta for one day – And adulthood is long and dry-humping in cars will wait. O Lord, break the Internet forever, that she may be spared the misspelled invective of her peers. And the online marketing campaign for Rape Hostel V: Girls Just Wanna Get Stabbed. And when she one day turns on me and calls me a Bitch in front of Hollister, Give me the strength, Lord, to yank her directly into a cab in front of her friends, For I will not have that Shit. I will not have it. And should she choose to be a Mother one day, be my eyes, Lord, that I may see her, lying on a blanket on the floor at 4:50 A.M., all-at-once exhausted, bored, and in love with the little creature whose poop is leaking up its back. “My mother did this for me once,” she will realize as she cleans feces off her baby’s neck. “My mother did this for me.” And the delayed gratitude will wash over her as it does each generation and she will make a Mental Note to call me. And she will forget. But I’ll know, because I peeped it with Your God eyes. Amen.”
—Tina Fey, praying about her daughter (via getitgirls)
Soul And Onward
“Soul and Onward”- Do Make Say Think
There really is no better band.
Grimes - Oblivion
The great thing about working at WRAS (zee best station around) is that you get introduced to cool new music all the time.
“Oblivion”- Grimes
Arbutus Records 2012
Whoa whoa.
Things that are happening in November:
- Watching Charles Spearin perform The Happiness Project LIVE
- Hearing Bill Nye GIVE A TALK
(within the course of a WEEK)
Trying to study, but vertigo and the prospects of taking up embroidery again are much too distracting.
“You are beautiful, but you are empty. One could not die for you. To be sure, an ordinary passerby would think that my rose looked just like you —- the rose that belongs to me. But in herself alone she is more important than all the hundreds of you other roses: because it is she that I have watered; because it is she that I have put under the glass globe; because it is she that I have sheltered behind the screen; because it is for her that I have killed the caterpillars; because it is she that I have listened to, when she grumbled, or bloated, or even sometimes when she said nothing. Because she is my rose.”
—Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince (via vocables)
06 I'll Read You a Story
“I’ll Read You A Story”- Colleen
When I was a musician I never had the desire to jaYumm with anyone in particular except for Cécile Schott. She makes cellos sing.
second album, 2005, the leaf label
One of these days...
I am going to turn into an onion, tomato, or grain of rice. You are what you eat, right? I am also certain that my frugality and lack of money is turning me into an accidental vegan.
Look at this Ecuadorian goodness. If you are a lemon lover such as myself, this tastes like heaven in a bowl (or ceviche sans the fish). WILL POST RECIPE LATAR, GATARS.

Never thought about it. Interesting perspective. Something about the power structure between the photographer and the photographed.
Egyptian Shumba
The Tammys
“Egyptian Shumba”- The Tammys
Should be studying linear algebra, but instead jamming to this.. oops. What can I say? I wanna dance, OH!
