– Coke Talk. This woman is such an intriguing read, and I admit that the fact that I relate to her on some tiny level is cool. And sure, my one hour isn’t a long distance, but it’s still hard, and I can full heartedly relate to the above. We’re just so fucking good together.
Confession.
I’m faintly considering trading in my brand-new 64gig iPod touch ($399) for an iPad ($499).
Frontier Ruckus at the Blind Pig last Saturday
was a blur of bizarre circumstances. But (what I heard of) the music was good.

You've heard all this before
from one source or another, so none of this will be new.
But it really is all about perspective.
If you perceive yourself to require a certain amount of sadness to fill a slot in your life, as an effect, despair pulled from various sources out of life will inundate into that self-dug pit. You’ll be completely, contently distressed enough to be interesting, intriguing, mysteriously...

So my film theory class is pushing off Surrealism...
