This week was--i'm being brutally honest here--amazing. I can give thee three reasons why..
The Last Shadow Puppets
i just can't get enough of that sweet, sweet, sweet alex turner. if you watch through this jarring version of "the meeting place" you can see miles and alex come together (hahahaha...foreign on stage jizzing!! the newest craze~!) towards the end, alternately glancing in the direction of my camera. at the absolute end alex waves and appears to be looking straight into my cam. oooh. i couldn't believe it. sorry for the odd, horizontal angles. it was difficult to shoot with all those people moving about and pushing me everywhere.
Barack Obama
this was first time i voted...i finally registered (after having two years to do so), but almost didn't get the opportunity to vote. i was all stressed i wouldn't get to take part in it..lucky for last minute mail. you can read the previous post for more on the next president of the u.s. mm. quelle historique, non?
The Dodos
waited for quite the while.It was a nice time. Very odd things were seen and said (the breaking and general oddness of instruments). i wish that they had played park song..but the songs they did grace us with were spectacular. i thought i might have more to say... it was just very, very good. a nice way to end the week, i think.
in all honesty, isn't it just the strangest combination? i mean with the while political thing in the middle?
i wish more of my weeks turned out like this.
I suppose i promised a recap post of tlsp, but i have more pertinent subjects to discuss at the moment. i voted today. my first time--and i almost didn't get to because my registration almost didn't get processed in time...luckily i got a letter saying i was a-ok to go to the polls and get meself heard. SO, Barack Obama is the next president of the united states. yeah. i voted for him.
just watched his speech. it was graciously modest yet poignant. there was one point in there where i thought he was gonna quote the sam cooke song, a change is gonna come. at any rate, it definitely is on its way.
i feel a little bit better about identifying and actually calling myself an american.
The day's finally here. Oh fucking shit. i have relatively low expectations so i can hopefully be wowed outta my socks. oohh, i can't believe it. Overall, i'm still excited. I will regale you with my night out later if i haven't died from the fineness emanated from the person/people i see. it's probably a good bit radioactive.
Another Halloween. I intended to dress up, somewhat like last year, but I couldn't find exactly what i needed. Why is it that places don't sell red and white stripped t-shirts? and gilligan style white hats? i didn't really look all over for that, but, still maaaan. i ain't gonna be decked out as flapjack and hanging out with cap'n k'nuckles and bubbie.
no candied island adventuring for me..i also had other plans that i discovered to be thwarted rather early this morning. disappointment consumed me, but cheaper, better plans are in store for tomorrow night.
oooh, alex turner is coming up. i'm not sure what to think exactly. indeed, it is something i am definitely looking forward to....yet..hhhhhmmmm.
there ain't nothing there anyway. i forgot the rest of it.
another shit birthday. i know my capacity for caring has diminished significantly, but i've been experiencing this sort of thing for that last...couple of years (going back to the early 2000s, people). this isn't all spite. it's a little but of a catharsis.
how i adore that word.
supposing i could have anything for today...i would say it'd be either a person or a location (like, me in a different one). don't think i could get those, though.
