seems to have fallen through spectacularly due to lazy-ness on the part of it's creators (Brandon, Nathan, Andy, and Myself) and my current lack of transportation. The point of this blog isn't for me to announce the indefinite hiatus of a podcast that only had two episodes, however. Mainly I'm writing this blog to fill in whatever poor bored soul wants to read up on my daily life about what has been going on lately with me. Here it comes. Get ready. Wait for it. Wait for it. NOTHING!
That's obviously a bit of an overstatement, but it was still a pretty boring long-weekend, most likely because I'm still down in the dumps about losing my car and, subsequently, my freedom, or at least my hightened sense of it. I did manage to accomplish a few things, however, mainly I went to Nathan's 17th birthday get together (I say get together because party conjures up images of pointy hats and cake of which there were none) and managed not to hurt myself with the exception of some glass shards which got stuck in my hand after I tried and failed to reenact a bar fight by smashing a beer bottle on... something. It was fun, but unfortunately I feel like we may be reaching the last of the "get togethers" since we're all coming quickly upon the age of eightteen and we're starting to feel childish sitting in each other's basements eating too much, getting sick, and playing Halo. Anyway, as I said, it was good fun, I played pool almost constantly and went on a rant about how much I hate Irish people in an attempt to get into Jared's head which worked, a little too well. I went home the next day feeling happy and not really thinking yet that this would probably be the last of such celebrations.
Other than that, I picked up some photos from Target, and really like quit a few of them. Others aren't so great, but eh, I realised I would end up wasting some film when I started experimenting with different stuff. Mostly what I've been working on is shooting all the outdoor lights in my neighborhood. It might sound a little weird, but I really like the effect it gives sometimes. The problem is, these lights aren't very bright and many of the photos I need involve some mild for of breaking and entering or at the least some extremely suspicious behavior on mine and Brandon's part. So as a result many of the pictures had to be taken from a greater distance than i wanted or at a weird angle or in a hurry or something like that, and most of the ones I really had hopes for didn't turn out at all.
I've been listening to this one album almost non-stop, and one song in particular has me pretty much in love. The band is This Mortal Coil, the album is It'll End in Tears, the song is Song to the Siren. I think the best way I've heard This Mortal Coil described is gothic dream pop, and it personifies this song specifically. I've never been a big fan of goth music, and so understand that this isn't some gushy unrequited love song, and understand that for me to be recommending gothic music to people means that I'm extremely taken with it.
Other than that, I really haven't done much of anything, I went to Earthfare last night and got some dinner, which was good, and I ate some of said dinner for lunch today. I read some from one of the many books I need to finish at the moment, and after I finish this blog I'm gonna go read Of Mice and Men for Mrs. Wallace. Usually I would blow off a school-related book if there was another book which I liked better that I wanted to read, but OMaM is a classic, and I really like it, AND it has a deadline, so my other books are just going to have to wait for a while.
Hurm... it seems I wrote quite a bit for someone with "NOTHING!" to say.
