it was the perfect crime

moshpits are like those epic war battles you see in movies. somehow you get stuck in the middle between those who just need to push and shove their way to what they want. and you end up not being able to breathe. i've been in plenty of them before but i haven't been that scared in a long time. no need for details.

on a positive note, i got all of this weeks work done and in on time, and i'm pretty proud about that because there were a few freak out moments, and days with about two hours of sleep. i'm going to take this week to recooperate and catch up on readings, and then comes the study blitz. i can't believe i've got 23 days left in T.O. until the summer.

vanessa, nahmi, and i are in buffalo until tomorrow afternoon. we came purely to see the decemberists, which was tonight. and it was amazing. colin meloy is my hero, and gorgeous at that (much shorter than i imagined however). if you ever get a chance, listen to "The Mariner's Revenge Song." It's about getting swallowed by a whale. And it was their encore tonight. Best part was, they had two people in a huuuge whale costume come out and "swallow" them. it was amazing. "It's got dark carpeting, I guess we have some time to kill..." this band is so incredibly unique. they combine prog rock with a twang and a twist. their songs are about outrageous crimes and instances. Meloy tried to have the audience close their eyes at one point and imagine what he was saying to a haunting drum beat. Somehow he came up with buying a monkey, contemplating it, and poking it in the stomach. .... i guess you had to be there.


big news: we got the duplex in greektown. it's a pretty rad place, and we're excited x 10. I've got the big bedroom in the basement with the walk in closet! siiick. it's about 20 mn away from school. i better get lots of visitors.


listen to "The Perfect Crime #2" by the Decemberists.
