The Talking Muffin

Two muffins in an oven.

I haven't posted in a really really long time, for which I am sorry and I humbly repent. Also: warning, this entry will probably be long-ish. If you generally care to read entries, don't be afraid to skip about this one.

I find it super hard to get myself motivated anymore. It's annoying. It needs to stop.

In any case, life on the whole is pretty good. Granted I am not nearly done with my Digital Design self portrait, I haven't made any thumbnail sketches for drawing, haven't done my German homework, haven't blogged in a week (sorry!), I have NO idea what I want to write about for my paper, and I haven't started the reading for this class yet. I also had a typical phone conversation with my mother, which meant that I ended up being frustrated and pissy and hanging up on her and then feeling guilty but only sort of and then wishing that I had someone I was comfortable bitching about my parental woes to without feeling like a self indulgent little prat or generally ruining an otherwise good mood. I also cannot see my floor very well for all of the crap on it but yet cannot convince myself to get up out of my chair to move things into some sort of order.

However. Let's focus on the good things, which are pretty outstanding.

Today instead of doing work, I went to bring coughdrops to the boy, went to Singers (which is always pretty nice) and then came back to do work, but ended up bringing soup and orange juice to the boy, who is pretty much incapacitated. This resulted in watching cartoons. A+. Somewhere in there, right before I was leaving, I got persuaded to stay because Jesse (the boy's roommate) wanted a mohawk and promised to obtain clippers. Which he did. And so I gave Jesse a mohawk in the fifth floor of Hill in one of the lounges. Which makes it the second fifth floor communal space in which I have mohawked someone. Although technically Josh counts for a cleaning up of a mohawk. Now I am back at my room and attempting to motivate myself, but that's not going to happen.

Yesterday the boy gave a presentation at the SPE-MA conference, but being that I wasn't a part of said conference, I was not able to obtain admission to the talk (which I hear was hilarious), and thus I was on college green for a substantial portion of the GORGEOUS GORGEOUS GORGEOUS FALL DAY with Kim. And we made a big leaf pile. And jumped in it. And threw leaves at people. And it was glorious. We literally played in the leaves for 2 hours. OOO AND ALSO at some point in that time, the security guard from the library came out (because I had walked out of the library and thus had to show my bag and she saw all the drawings) and she asked if I could draw a picture of her son if she gave me a picture of him. And I thought that was super amazing and that made me really happy. Then I "worked" until Anton in Show Business (a friend of mine was in it so I went to see it with another friend from Singers) which was very good. I am not sure how I feel about the script, but whatever, I was entertained by the show. Post that, I went to get tea (not coffee) and then ended up at Kim's with some other people and we went to see Borat. Which was ridiculous. I'm not sure if I thought it was a good movie or I was just too ridiculously entertained at the shit Sacha Baron Cohen (I'm sure I spelled some of that wrong) was pulling.

FRIDAY. Radio show. Playlist available on the interweb. They finally got a counter of how many people are listening working, which is an interesting thing. It means I get to see how many people are actually connected to my show at any given time. I managed to fuck up and talk over music that was at full volume TWICE. YAY me. Saw American Hardcore in the afternoon, which I was really entertained by. It was nice to see, and it made me really want to listen to a lot of the Bad Brains. I went to see Common Rotation at the World Cafe that night (HUGE departure from the sound of Hardcore), and I really enjoyed it. I like them a lot. Anyone who is interested in folk type music should definitely look into them. I actually did a second radio show that night with the boy from 10-12 since Jesse couldn't go. At our peak we had five listeners. Four, actually, because the counter counts the office computer as well.

Thursday... hm... Thursday. Uhh... went to ThuNG, before that was at Happy Hour, before that I played D & D (first time ever), and before that, I had Singers.

Thursday wasn't terribly exciting.

Oohhh but I have Kissinger tickets for Tuesday!! Hooray and a HALF. Bam, suckah.
