My roommates want me to record some music for them before we all move on the 30th.

Okay.

I mean. I've got like 4 demos done already so I guess..they'll get demos.

I feel like I don't need to point out the fact that I've fail terribly at BEDA. I used to enjoy blogging, but if I don't ever get feedback I don't really feel the need to carry on more often than naught. Not. I don't even care.

I'm in a super pessimistic mood right now. WEIRD. Considering I'm quite a happy camper.

In other news, the Song of the Day is by Wretch 32.

I just woke up to two screaming children at my front door. Well, not my front door but my neighbor’s. They had to be like…idk, 3 and 4 years old. Apparently they got dropped off at their babysitter’s, my neighbor’s, and they’re dad had already left, but my neighbor wasn’t answering the door because the kids got dropped off early and they were still asleep. I probably only heard them because I live in the loft, not an actually room, so I don’t really have a sound barrier from the front door.

My point is, if you have kids who are 3 and/or 4 years old, CALL THE BABYSITTER EARLY. OR AT LEAST WALK THEM TO THE DOOR IDIOT. My goodness. Those poor little guys were terrified, and when I open my door they were on there way out to the street to go looking for someone.

Anyway, now I’m wide away and it’s only 6:30 am. I seriously just went to bed 3 hours ago. I’m tired.

And I just discovered one my roommates is probably eating my Clif bars from the pantry, considering their swift disappearance.

Song of the Day: Back to December by T. Swift. I've been listening to this album (but mainly this song) a lot the last few days.

Newspapers: Dead? Packing Material? Art Medium.

Two days ago I stared this little art project that I'm hoping to expand on in the near future. Lucky for me, my school gives out free copies of The New York Times in almost every building on campus on a day bay, so I like to pick them up once and a while. Well, apparently I had been unintentionally hoarding a few of them in a pile in my room, back when everything in Egypt first started to erupt.

I bought some 8" x 10" canvases and I'm starting to collage each issue onto one canvas. I've got one done completely, and I'm working on the second one. Each one will have the NYT title visible, along with the date and issue. There are pictures along with some headlines that I cut out throughout all the sections of each issue. The pictures are either visually appealing, or just important, or both.

Here's the first one.

This is just from an issue from this last week, but I love it.

What do you think?

I'm So Tired

I worked about 11 hours today. I opened this morning at 7 am, and just left the restaurant after 11pm, and I wasn't even a closer. I'm just slow at rolling my silverware.

In other news, I've been watching random episodes of the latest season of Degrassi, and I'm not exactly enjoying it, but for some reason I just can't stop watching.

I missed a post yesterday. I just realized that. My bad.

I feel like I owe you guys a short short story. This week. Most definitely. I just have to finish one of the ones I've been workin' on.

Until then...

Later days.

Song of the Day: "Singin' In the Rain". So good. Probs my favorite musical via the big screen. I can watch it over and over and never tire of it.

BEDAAAAAA

THIS IS A BLOG POST.

Sorry guys, I just got home from mud wrestling/football, and now I have to get to work for the rest of the day.

So. This is a blog post.

Now go listen to some Camera Obscura.

Later days.

Hanna

This is a movie post. If you've followed me on the internet on any sort of various social network, you will know that a huge passion of mine is film and television. I get really into things that most people don't think really matter, including actors, movies, dates of movies releases, directors, shows and their actors, and I'm good at connecting actors to movies and other actors and/or directors. I find this stuff fascinating. So. There's that.

Hanna was fantastic. I give it a 7/7 rating (on my obviously highly thought of scale). The action was mesmerizing, the acting just as good, the music was creepy in the way that it should have been. It was just altogether good filmmaking.

Being a big Saoirse Ronan fan ever since Atonement, I was eager to see this movie as soon as I heard about it a few months back. She was good enough to earn herself an Oscar nom for that film, and I would not be surprised if she gets another for Hanna, it being well deserved.

I'm going to digress for just a second and tell you this isn't a review, just in case you were wondering. I'm literally just expressing my love of the movie I just watched no more than 20 minutes ago.

I'm a huge Kate Blanchet fan as well, and seeing her in this type of role was interesting. She makes an awfully good villain.

Basically, if you like a good action/thriller/suspense film, go see Hanna. It's packed full of awesome, plus some.

On a completely different note, I made a playlist a few weeks ago for a friend to do homework to, and I've decided to share it with you guys. Click the link to download.

Enjoy, and later days.

Childish Gambino

I have been listening to the sweet rhymes of Donald Glover for about two weeks now and I just can't stop.

But that's completely irrelevant.

What is relevant?

The huge ass pot my ceramics teacher threw in class today.

And then he made another one in like, twenty minutes.

INSANE.

So basically I spent about 6 hours in the studio today and made about 3 things worth keeping.

Also. My hair is already getting longer, so all is well with the world.

Which is actually a total lie, considering Japan had another earthquake.

Shit, the world's ending, guys.

JK. I hope not, anyway.

Mmk, I need to go catch up on this season of Lie To Me. Tim Roth ftw.

Later days.

Album of the Day: the latest Childish Gambino EP (click to download) and be warned, it defs needs a parental advisory label. but it's still good if you don't care about that. IF YOU DO CARE go listen to some Vampire Weekend. That's always nice.
