thank you, thank you kindly.
I hope you notice that I don’t usually post more than once a day. So don’t unfollow me thinking that all of this going too slowly (unless you really have to)
Since I seem to be gaining more followers kind of quickly, maybe I’ll start posting more.
But god damn it, does college keep you busy.
I’m going crazy. I’m standing here solidly on my own two hands and going crazy!

They said something that I found to be very interesting.
They said…they would sample from famous songs, melodies, and rhythms, but that’s not what interests them. They prefer to use “anonymous” recordings: home videos, records from companies that don’t exist any more, defunct albums.

Listening to Halloween music. Spilling beer on Chelsea’s rug. Eating too much candy. Wandering around a haunted house. Drinking orange cocktails. Screaming across commons lawn. Watching “Paranormal Activity”. Dancing in a crowd of masks and skeletons. Yelling at pirates. Falling asleep with “Dial M For Murder” playing on a screen in front of me.
“A house is never still in darkness to those who listen intently; there is a whispering in distant chambers, an unearthly hand presses the snib of the window, the latch rises. Ghosts were created when the first man awoke in the night!”
JM Barrie
Why?
-Plan meeting went so well. And my adviser says so too.
-Which means I’ll probably officially be a visual arts and art history concentrate in a month.
-Jeu de Paume, an amazing modern art museum in Paris, got back to me about doing an internship.
-And I think it’s happening.
-I bought a kick ass sweater for $3.
-And a kick ass orange tshirt for $2.
-Dulcimer class was uplifting as hell. I learned two new pieces.
-Twin Peaks with Karina; I’m almost at season one’s season finale.
-Finished my monochrome project for “Chromophilia” and it looks great.
End.
