i didn't even know it was possible for things to be so good.
after a day of semi-intense studying, i spent time with good people, jumped in a pile of disgustingly dirty leaves, and learned that DAVE FUCKIN EGGERS IS COMING IN NOVEMBER. THE DAY BEFORE I LEAVE FOR PORTLAND. MOST EXCITING 5 DAYS OF MY LIFE. i don't know if i have ever been so excited. which i know sounds ridiculous, but really. never has a musician or author that i love to this extent come anywhere nearby.

best best best day in a long long time.
sugar, savannah, hannah, larry dinner.
SUNSET RUBDOWN.
and TUNEYARDS who sang in swahili! baada ya walicheza muziki, tulisema katika kiswahili!
then we made some friends with some of the band... and failed to make friends with some of the band.
i am not feeing poetic. i am just feeling good.

yes, it has occurred to me to do away with this sentence day bullshit. but i've been at it for so long that i kind of want to make it a whole year. even if it is a bit of a snooze.
today went so fast i can't even remember what happened.

today is a paul simon-y sort of a day.
"She said:
Why?
Why don't we drive through the night
We'll wake up down in Mexico
Oh I
I don't know nothin' about nothin' about
No Mexico
And tell me why
Why won't you love me
For who I am
Where I am
He said:
'Cause that's not the way the world is baby
This is how I love you, baby
This is how I love you, baby
One and one-half wandering Jews
Return to their natural coasts
To resume old acquaintances
Step out occasionally
And speculate who had been damaged the most
Easy time will determine if these consolations
Will be their reward
The arc of a love affair
Waiting to be restored
You take two bodies and you twirl them into one
Their hearts and their bones
And they won't come undone
Hearts and bones
Hearts and bones
Hearts and bones
Hearts and bones"
ALSO
"Well I'm accustomed to a smoother ride
Maybe I'm a dog that's lost his bite
I don't expect to be treated like a fool no more
I don't expect to sleep the night
Some people say a lie is just a lie
But I say the cross is in the ballpark
Why deny the obvious child?"
really, it isn't just the lyrics, it is the lyrics, mixed with the music, mixed with remembering the REDBIRD shows, that always give me chills and the fact that i can hear my family in these songs, in some weird way.
