Am having one of those days. Feeling very tired and uninspired. Very much behind with the old homework. Have eaten basically nothing all day except a bowl of Special K and a ham sandwich. Currently trying to watch a new episode of Family Guy but the reception’s dreadful and all Comcast have to say about the matter is “We are currently experiencing individual channel technical difficulties in your area.” Oh, pity me.
I think I’m going to New York on Friday, so that’ll be fun. Will get a bit of Christmas shopping done hopefully. No Broadway this time, because the strike is still on. I predict the unions will kiss and make up the day after I leave. Anyway. Here’s a pic from the last time I was in NYC: Conor and I flaring our nostrils atop the Empire State. Flattering!
My song obsession of the moment is ‘Where You’ll Find Me Now’ by Neutral Milk Hotel. Darn – just a few days ago I wrote an article about bands who should reform, and neglected to mention the glorious NMH. Jeff Mangum’s voice is marvellously gritty. Or grittily marvellous.
PS. My roommate just came back from being in town and brought me a double chocolate chip cookie from this bakery she was in. It made me really quite disproportionately happy. I think I need a life.
