I Stay Up All Night.






These are a few of the random pictures I took yesterday around 8:30 in the morning when Sarah and I went on a little trip to South Station in Boston after not sleeping at all. It was completely random, but it was fun.

What A Pitty.

So pretty much the worst thing that could ever happen happened last night. My iPod broke! I found it in a puddle of beer in the kitchen, and it hasn't been working properly since then. Last night when I found it, it still turned on and such but it kept giving some weird error message and then it just shut off and stopped working altogether. This morning when I woke up, it's on but it just has the apple symbol and nothing else will happen. I'm hoping this is a good sign and maybe will work by tomorrow? I really am hoping.

So to any of the, what 3? people that read this burn me CD's! I have nothing to listen to in my car. I guess it's an excuse to find some new music.

Louis CK is tonight, but it doesn't start until 10 PM... unusually late? Oh well, super fun dinner party beforehand!

Listening to:
Right Away, Great Captain! - The Bitter End
Kevin Devine - Brother's Blood
Modest Mouse - Building Nothing Out Of Something

Hello, Old Friend.

Hello, again. I'm not doing so well with keeping this up to date, huh?

Since we last talked I had another boring neverending week at work. However, on Thursday I managed to score some tickets to the sold out Jimmy Eat World Clarity X10 show at the new House of Blues in Boston!

The show was incredible! The venue was very remnicent of the Avalon (the club that used to be in its place) but they redecorated it very nicely and added two balconies.

They flawlessly played Clarity from beginning to end. The way they pulled off "Goodbye Sky Harbor" with the vocal loops at the end was something else.

After the final song from Clarity they gracefully bowed off stage to a wild audience only to return a few minutes later for a five song encore. An encore that I personally thing didn't come anywhere near what they had just accomplished moments before. This show was a one of a kind experience.

Recently.

So lately I've been out of my mind tired. I have been working so many hours that I'm starting to lose it. Thankfully, all those 13 hour days are over. I have a normal week ahead of me. Nice short 6 or 8 hour days sounds just fine to me.

So Sunday was a bit of an adventure. Kate (my new roommate!) and I went to Target and got a new microwave! It's nice to have one of those again, even though I still have yet to use it because I never have any food in the house. We also went to this mexican restaurant called On The Border that was so good. Margaritas and avocado enchiladas, does it get better?

After that Jen and I went to see Antony and the Johnsons on Sunday night at the Berklee Performance Center and it was certainly one of the most amazing things I've ever seen. That man's voice is so unique and to hear it live gave me chills. He played and amazing set, plus one song I haven't heard before that I'm trying to find. He also did a Beyonce cover that was hilarious.

Genious.

So this website has really good things to do with your time.

This is one example of David Horvitz's genious:

I Woke Up Today.

I'm not completely in the mood to blog right now, but I feel obligated to update. I think I drank a little too much wine, it's making me lazy.

I really want to watch Wall-E.

A Simple Test

I'm testing to see if this whole mobile blogging thing works the way
it should.
