3-day weekend IN.

Would you believe me if I told you this is my 3rd full day homeworking? And by "full day" I mean only getting up to eat and pee. Any other reasons to get up must be work related. Sleep is sometimes allowed.

Listening to Band of Horses. I'm saving up money for my senior portfolio(s). I purchased a domain a few days ago (yay) and will look into hosting probably next week. I was told it was better to keep domain and hosting accounts separate in case you cancel one. It saves any future hassles.

By now you must have heard of Susan Boyles. I told my mom to start entering singing contests. If it's not too late for Susan, then it's not too late for her. She's going back to Taiwan in 6 days. Here's to a month of takeouts and unhealthy junk. yay.

Okay, so Bangles is playing now, since it's listed alphabetically after Band of Horses. Must change music... scroll scroll... new podcast downloads!

multitasking

Here is an awesome wedding photo.



Hmm, brushing my teeth, homeworking, blogging. WAKING UP TOMORROW WILL BE BRUTAL. I'm listening to an oldies mix I made for Jenny last year. I keep all my playlists just in case I make another for the same friend. It's also easier to fetch songs once it's categorized. Styx is currently playing right now!

I feel guilty everytime I'm not working. Graduation is so close I can lick it. I got sick this past weekend and have not gotten better. It's the lack of sleep I think. My throat hurts a lot. But at least I can breathe!

Here are my favorites on the mix:
Van Morrison- Moondance
Carole King- It's Too Late
Heart- Crazy on You
When in Rome- The Promise*
Stephen Bishop- It Might Be You
Todd Rundgren- Can We Still Be Friends
George Michael- One More Try*
Otis Redding- Sittin' On The Dock of th Bay*
The Platters- Smoke Gets In Your Eyes

Quoting dad

"Happiness is life."

And I thought it was the other way around.

Stop; Think

My top Woody Allen films:
1. Annie Hall
2. Manhattan Murder Mystery
3. Hannah and Her Sisters
4. Bullets Over Broadway

I realized- most people that inspire me are imperfect and sometimes destructive. I always think there's a key element in someone's personal life that presses the genius button. Sometimes I wish I've stopped digging a long time ago. It's hard. I don't want to just accept a person for his or her creative success. I want to read biographies, learn what had shaped their lives, understand the work they create. Sometimes I forget why I became interested in the first place. I always end up falling in love with their faults.

Vanity Fair

Selected few from the latest:

Slow Show

I'm listening to The National and trying to study for my mid-term. I've been researching job posts on various sites, just to get an idea of the direction I'd like to head towards. It's all like, "Eh, don't like this, don't like that" on repeat. It's really hard for me to focus on what I want. All I know right now, is what I don't want.

I really hope I don't end up hating my life.

Martin Scorsese is planning on making a documentary on George Harrison. I know many people are probably thinking "Wow, another Beatles tribute?" But you know what? In only a few more decades, the Beatles generation will fade away and be replaced with text, memorandums, and my-grandma-once-told-me-stories. As much as I wish I could've experienced the '60's, I'm glad to know people who have lived through the psychedelic craze. I'm glad I can listen to the stories of ex-hippies & artists and enjoy the share of their memories.

De Splat

Rumor has it-
Alexandre Desplat will be scoring the music to Wes Anderson's Fantastic Mr.Fox!

Music makes up life. My cherished memories are as fluid as the simple notes of Satie's Gymnopedie No. 1. My greatest turns in life are as triumphant as Handel's Sarabande. I get ridiculously excited when great filmmakers and composers team up to create for the rest of us.
