Hello beautiful people

Sun, 22 Nov 2009 12:42:57 -0800

It was my birthday on Friday. I’d like it very much if some random tumblr follower I don’t know wished me a happy birthday. That is all.

Thank you.

Song: Seeplymouth

Artist: Volcano Choir

Album: Unmap (2009)

There is a genre of music that is particularly good for passenger listening. That is, being listened to by a be-headphoned passenger in a moving car, bus or train. I call it microcosmic music: the kind of soundtrack that, song by song, builds its own dramatic and all-encompassing universe. These are thinking songs, they drown the listener in sound to inspire vivid images as the seconds tick by. It need not match the landscape blurring by outside your window: its tones might be sepuchral and bleak while the sun shines brilliant outside, or its melody riotously verdant during a winter pall. What matters is the build of an entire world within the rise and fall of one song, and Volcano Choir has made it a specialty.

The bombastic percussion in “Seeplymouth” is reminiscent of the music of fellow microcosm-makers Explosions in the Sky, but where their music seems a great sturm und drang set in a lightless void, this song is carried on mincing, expectant steps to its climax. Before it can arrive, however, the eerie vocals of Justin Vernon seep into the cracks and begin to transform it into something epic, crashing and primal.

I really should have bought this album by now.

Morning (via *December Sun)

I had tea this morning. I can’t believe it isn’t still morning. Right now I want to have lots of friends and dance through the streets of cloudy Seattle.

but i suck at

1. finding well-known phrases from popular songs

2. translating things into old/professional/sophisticated-speak.

You’re kidding right? This is probably your greatest skill.

I had to do a bing (loljk, bing sucks; i use google). My favorite is this one:

Anyways, I’ve got one, but it’s probably been done: Thou art a craven and unkind fool./I am aware.

I haven't listened to Mika in weeks.

It’s like they’re trying to do science, just badly.

debates about religion and science upset me as well.

to each his own.

? Are you trying to imply that I was inciting a debate? And why do they make you upset?

I'm not really into going on "dates"

Sun, 15 Nov 2009 17:48:21 -0800

These are incredible ideas.

avalanche:

soldmylove:

but these, these are dates i would go on.

1. Pretend you’ve never met, then loudly try out lame pickup lines in a swanky bar. Act like they worked.

2. Go on a walking journey and every fifteen feet draw a chalk arrow in the direction you’re going. At the end of the trip, leave a big pile of chalk.

3. Create photo evidence suggesting that you went on an adventure that didn’t really happen

4. Go for a drive. You can only make right-hand turns. When you finally get stuck, turn around and then you can only make left-hand turns. Repeat until you find something interesting. Take pictures along the way!

5. Build forts out of furniture and blankets, and wage war with paper airplanes.

6. Go to a major chain bookstore, and leave notes to future readers in copies of your favorite books

7. Write a piece of fiction together. Outside at a cafe. Ask strangers when you get stuck.

8. Try and visit as many people as you can in one night, and turn as many things inside their apartment upside down as you can, without them noticing.

9. Do the lamest tourist thing in your area that you have both secretly wanted to do forever. Have an unabashed good time!

10. Hide and seek in the park

11. Go around the city with sidewalk chalk and draw hearts with equations inside on random things

12. Drive somewhere unknown and have dinner in a city you’ve never been to. With fake names.

13. Go for a drive with the passenger blindfolded, choosing directions at random. see where you end up

14. Dress up as pirates, commandeer shopping carts, and have a war upon the high seas.. er, parking lot.

15. Go on a search for as many good climbing trees as possible, climb as high as you both can in all of them, compile photo evidence

16. Rent a movie you’ve never seen before. Set on mute and improvise dialogue.

17. Dress up as pirates and go parrot shopping at local pet stores

18. Go to the airport, get the cheapest, soonest departing flight to anywhere when you show up, and stay there for a weekend.

19. Walk around a city and perform short silent plays in front of security cameras

20. In the middle of the night, drive to the beach, so you arrive just as the sun is rising. Have a breakfast picnic, then fall asleep together. Bring a sun umbrella.

21. Dress up as superheros and stop at least one petty crime “ie. jaywalking, littering….”

22. Go to a minor league baseball game under the stars. Tell each other stories about how bad you are at athletics. Randomly cheer for both teams. Eat lots of Cracker Jack.

23. With camera and pair of boots, make photolog of a day in the life of the invisible man.

24. Walk around the city all night and find a place to eat breakfast at dawn

25. Go to a restaurant and convince the cook to create something completely new for you.

This makes me so happy and so sad. The first ten minutes of that movie were the most incredible thing.
