iTunes can be quite revealing

Take a look at the top 25 most-played songs in my iTunes library, going back to at least July 2005 (but probably a few years earlier). Note how 64% of the list is comprised of Something Corporate… oh, high school (and, yes, an excellent band)!

“All this time lingers undefined…”

Mm, Weakerthans lyrics. They amaze me.

I went for a short 7.2-mile bike ride yesterday, to Haveli India, the delicious Indian restaurant on South Main. There were very few sidewalks, and it was a bit hilly via Route 17, but overall it was beautiful with the changing leaves and ponds by the roadside.

The Weakerthans’ “Relative Surplus Value”

Oh. Oh, so good:
Find the airport at 7 AM, my heart pumping pure minibar. Sit on the concrete by the carts, and some girl throws a dime in my lap. You won’t be laughing when you hear how this one ends!
So I sleep through the entire flight. Don’t really wake up till the cab driver [...]

Despite my otherwise good weekend, I feel myself slipping into another generalized malaise. I don’t like these times.
I [...]

Going into a midterm pretty much blind is never a good idea. Oops!

Homework break!

There’s something magical about this song, but it’s not wholly evident in the lyrics; you have to hear it to understand. While it’s probably too somber to make a good make-out song, it’s perfectly fitting for playing in the background while falling asleep with someone special in your arms.
I present The Early November’s “My Sleep [...]

Growing up and losing my (bar) virginity

I lost my bar virginity tonight. That’s right: Josh and I made a trip down to Plymouth to go to a bar. We ended up at The Black Raspberry in Cordage Park, which was pretty chill. The bartender was cute, maybe 28 or 29.
I was concerned with what to order, since I needed something both [...]

We’re “too quiet, too online” for our own good

Thomas Friedman had an interesting column in the New York Times on October 10, called “Generation Q”. He provides a pretty good characterization of our generation:
I am impressed because they are so much more optimistic and idealistic than they should be. I am baffled because they are so much less radical and politically engaged than [...]
