Silver Jews - Random Rules

Honestly, if I had a time machine, the first thing I would do would be to travel back in time and prevent mayonnaise from ever being invented.

Promise Ring - Raspberry Rush

Bjork - Hidden Place

We recently acquired a new piece of art work in our apartment. Yeah, that's right, it's an Eggleston, courtesy of the New York Times.

My Bloody Valentine - Never say goodbyee

I wish I would've taken this photo with film.

Broken Social Scene - Lost Peace

I remember taking this while in traffic on US-1. Sort of a stressful day for me I guess.

Bob Dylan - Just Like A Woman

All this election stuff is getting really scary, and walking around school today was sort of intense.



But the good news is that I love the way the afternoon sun shines on my bike while we go for a drive.

Tokyo Police Club - Citizens of Tomorrow

I voted for Barack Obama because he promised his daughters that he would get them a dog if he became president.

Pavement - Everything is Ending Here

I was looking through the fecalface NY site and got a little nostalgic of the life I am not currently living. Mainly, living in New York. It seems that we miss out on plenty of fun things down here. Things like this:

City That Never Sleeps

I've made up my mind and although Ive thought this for a while, everyday that goes by has me leaning more towards this decision. But, I want to live in NYC for a little while, even if for half a year, but to at least be able to know I did it. I think the NY experience would be beneficial for me and contrary to what Sarah Palin thinks, NYC is "real America." My parents lived in NYC for a a while after they got off the boat and I almost feel that I can only validate my membership to the world community after I have spent sometime in Nueba Yol.

We were throwing around some ideas about how cool it would be to open up a little coffee shop (anywhere really, not just NY) and bake things and have a regular clientele and making it hip in our little hole-in-the-wall sort of way. We could even have little tiny hole-in-the-wall art shows by little hole-in-the-wall artists. It's kind of exciting and a little scary to think about us in our late 20s. Honestly, even being a professional dog walker there sounds awesome. Seriously, think about it. Puppies.

Although Brooklyn has become hipster Mecca over the past ten years, I'd still like sign up to do a little tour of duty.

Sea Wolf - Winter Windows

Both my parents came to this country as illegal immigrants and that is the proudest thing I think I could ever say about myself.

Daniel Johnston - Speeding Motorcycle of my heeeaaart

I was reading the electric kool-aid acid test by the pool (btw, wtf?). After I was enveloped in a thin layer of sweat, I jumped in the pool and swam around for a while. I eventually surfaced (like a whale or nuclear submarine) next to a bumblebee who had fallen in. I put the little bee into my palm and swam him to safety. He flicked his wings for a few as he shook the water off his wings and flew away.

Looking back on that, I wonder if my motivation was
A.) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pollinator_decline
B.) That Phil Collins song where he tells that guy he saw him choose not to save a drowning roadie or whatever.
C.) My general respect for living things

Either way, I hope that little bumblebee is having a good day at work today.







I've always liked the way 8 o'clock light wakes me up in the morning in this room.
