ask your friends


so today i went to the mall. i got a little christmas shopping done. got a little rachel shopping done (no shoes, sadly, although you can see a few of my favorite goodies above). it kind of made up for the fact that i still haven't slept since tuesday night (woo hoo all nighters for lit essays!) and had to sit through the most boring, repetitive physics class ever today. calc and lit were kind of awful too. they were just so boring. it was all 'review this' and 'work silently' and 'don't collaborate on your loved one projects'. eurgh.

luckily, my day started to look up during early release when sarah and i went on pandora to listen to music and i mentioned that cartel's new single had been coke's open happiness free download of the week last week. some kid we'd never seen before started talking to us about cartel and then the beatles and sarah's inexplicable love of warren zevon and other random bands and introduced us to the pretty lights. if you click the link it'll take you to their official website where - get this - all their music is available as free downloads. all of it. free. honestly, between this and empires and s-la's christmas song of happiness i'm just drowning in free music this week. (it hasn't quieted my hopes that random library/early release kid will turn out to be my One Friend Of Indie Music Hookups)

i'm actually listening to the pretty lights right now. they're kind of techno. slow, though. i don't know how to describe it, really, just that they've got a lot of synth and syncopation and their really ambient and some of their songs are just perfect as background music and some of them have just made me want to get up and dance or run on the treadmill. so whatever genre they are, that's it. seriously, go check them out.

hmm, i think i'm going to have some oreos and milk and go to sleep...at like 6. no, wait, that's just too pathetic. so let's revise that to 'i think i'll have some cookies and milk all santa-like and resolutely stay awake until a more respectable hour like 8:30". yes, that seems much better, doesn't it?

also, gina wrote a poem! go look at it.
