Alligators...

...cleaning up the world, one Burmese python at a time.

Currently.

-Vitamin Water XXX (blueberry pomegranate) is my new love.

-Using Mom's old Pentax ME Super with slide film makes me feel like I'm living in the seventies; her Polaroid lands me in 1981. I'm thinking of buying a used Yashica from the camera shop. It's in good condition, but not as manual as I'd like it to be. And I think Dad's Yashica lenses will work with it. Dad's Yashica lenses are old, manual, and screw-mount and won't work with the newer Yashicas (post-1975). I'll see what I can dig up on future trips to used camera shops.

-Riding: Did 28 miles on Sunday, 10 mile quick ride last night with friends from work.

-Reading: Getting into Scott's book so much that I've had to put Dallas's down. I feel like a jerk.

-Writing: Trying. And I'm scared of applying to school.

-Music: BRMC, Jeff Tweedy, old Verve stuff, Pete Seeger, even some Bobs (Dylan, Schneider).

-Seeing Olivia in Chicago this weekend. I can't wait. Adventures are guaranteed (as are bright colors, giggling, and other outlets of silliness).

Reviews.

I wasn't the only one slightly disappointed at the Blonde Redhead show the other night.

Much like going to the opera, a BR show is beautiful but not particularly fun. Hence the people leaning on the railing of 9:30’s balcony with their heads propped in their hands for the last couple songs, even though it wasn’t even midnight yet.

I left about 25 minutes into their set. I was bored and was running on two hours of sleep.

I enjoyed their opener Fields very much, actually. Their new album came out yesterday.
