you asked if i'd ever be this way...

weekend goodness

i went over to Purdue this weekend to spend time with my good friends there. it was anything but disappointing. Friday night we ordered tons of Pizza and just spent time talking and watching ridiculous TV. Saturday seemed like it was going to be a whole lot of nothing but then we randomly found out that Maps & Atlases was playing just down the road that night. AWESOME!


So we went out and saw them (which was incredible) and then Shane and I decided to go out to some bars. Hilarious. One of my favorite things ever is people-watching, so bars and clubs are like mecca for me. I guess this is why i have a sociology minor... i love watching people and analyzing what they do.

then to top off the night there were these two girls who thought (for some reason that is far beyond my understanding) that it would be fun to hang out with me, shane, austin, grant, and jon for the rest of the night. we had tons of fun with them. it's been a really long time since i've met random people and had such a good time with them. really fun and encouraging.

pretty stoked right now, but not stoked on the idea of the upcoming week. such a busy schedule. thumbs down to college.

set that crown on the ground

i just survived the closest thing to academic hell week. lots of projects and papers. i still have a lot to do, but the brunt of it has passed and i'm happy for that.

i listened to this song 5 or 6 times in past 24 hours. it's the song "Crown on the Ground" by Sleigh Bells. i described it to a friend as MIA taking ecstasy with Ratatat and recording stuff on a crappy microphone.

(for some reason the song isn't showing up. bummer. click here to listen to it.)

so i have this World Lit class and we're reading Voltaire right now. i love it. it's funny, powerful, and really far ahead of its time. the man himself:

the more i read of Voltaire the more i feel like i'm reading a book full of Monty Python sketches. i brought that up in class and my professor was so stoked i thought that. he was like "yes! i thought the same thing!" I love that class. it's the only class i truly love this semester.

today i finished writing 8 pages on Max Weber. interesting fellow. he was a famous sociologist who wrote this book that is pretty dang interesting:

It's called "The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism." Sometimes i regret the fact i picked up a Sociology minor, but there are other times where it's really intriguing.

Swim

i've been listening to the song "Swim" by Surfer Blood almost nonstop lately. i love it so much. makes me think of Away With Vega, Boston (the band), and summertime at the beach. take a listen:

huh?

Creed is playing on Conan tonight. all i have to say to that is WHAT THE HELL?!? you cannot tell me that anyone on this planet still listens to Creed. i mean, it's hard enough to believe anyone ever did in the first place.

this is a new low Conan.... a new low.

nick and norah's

just watched Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist. it was kinda disappointing. my favorite part was the gay dudes... is that bad? oh well.

now it's time to decide if i spend the next hour or two doing homework or if i just dick around, go to bed, and worry about all that school stuff in the morning.

hmmmmmmmm...
