madison is a hot mess at halloween time and i can not wait to escape it for a weekend of curry, caramel apples, and friiieeenddz.

the fall leaves are so bright they burn my eyes.

a strange day. i can never decide between madison and milwaukee, but when i'm in milwaukee, i always get this odd feeling that i am supposed to choose. perhaps a weekend visit to madison will make it realized that it is the place for me.

perhaps not my most brilliant idea. but at least, i will sleep like a baby for the 5 hours before i have to wake up.

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.

tomorrow will determine whether or not this week is going to kick my ass or not. but i did my best(ish) to prepare.
