i'm trying to give "room for squares" a fair shot. for about the past hour, i've been walking around with it in my discman. some of the songs are alright, i suppose. but why, WHY did he feel the need to cheese up "love song for no one"??? it sounds like a whiny ditty that should be sung by justin timberlake and the rest of the nsync boys. not john. aurgh...
what i would give to be able to hop on a plane and fly to chicago for friday. at house of blues chicago, they're one-upping the wonderful lineup. howie day opening for john mayer, but also matt nathanson opening for howie opening for john. matt is the best guy--he spent his 28th birthday with us at smc--i got him to come play the coffeehouse. unfortunately, they scheduled it for the same night as sister helen. how bad did i feel...but he was wonderful. i would love to see him with the other two fellows...
on the way home from school this evening, i commented on that fact, and my father told me he wouldn't be shocked if i saved up money and did something "crazy" like that--hop on a plane to check out a show...funny how things change in a few years. he never would have considered it before, and now it sounds like i've got a standing green light for it...odd.
been cleaning and decorating my room--first time since freshman year. i think it was time to take down the poster of ben affleck from his "armageddon" days--replaced with james dean and some m.c. escher...i need masking tape for everything else though. i swear i should buy shares of stock in masking tape. every time i move somewhere i have to buy a whole damn roll...
photos come back tomorrow, and i got the word back from jeff, i'm in on the paradise b&p. cds being sent out tomorrow...
happy happy.
