Comcast Ad: Dream Big 1

haha I was on stereogum and they were talking about how horrible these commercials are. They are AWFUL. But they Do make it so that I am "R-O-F-T-L-O-L-ing" ...kind of. Whose horrid idea was this? Were they high???

My favortie thing has to be the comments though . An example:

"When I first heard the first one, I was thinking more Daft Punk rip-off than Juno rip-off, but the apathetic black girl in the later videos proves that I'm wrong."

hahaha
Comcast needs to stop trying to be hip. I can barely handle half of the hip people I encounter, but a corporation trying to be hip? makes me want to jump off a building.

p.s. the astronauts on the bouncing balls are mad creepy

Because it Was You I Called it a Different Story

Manchester Orchestra - The Only One

Check out the Boozle if you want to hear my thoughts on this. I can't hype this band enough. They deserve every word.

The Weekend

This weekend (sunday specifically) was very weird and convoluted, but then this song came on Pandora and things felt better. I guess I worked it out.

Ramble

"i hope life is going well for you,
i see you're putting on the pounds
every little bit counts for you but you're still so beautiful in my eyes,
i don't know why,
i can't take you off this pedestal i've put you on,
with every try another failed attempt with every wish another miss"

my fatal flaw? My misimaginings. they put my head in a flurry, and my heart in my stomach.

I don't even dehumanize. As John Green puts it I "edward cullen-ize".

this isn't something that just sounds horrible; it truly is horrible.

I need to find new things to look forward to. soon.

My internal clock continues to make a mess, striking me with it's hands at the ungodly hour ofanythingbefore7:15 o'clock. I could deal with six. Six wasn't that bad. 5:45? unfavorable. 5:30?ughh. 5:00? Now I'm worried. why is this happening now? this week felt ominous enough, this surely isn't helping any. I'm ready for a new week.

Julia and I are going to see Slumdog Millionaire tonight, and I am highly anticipating it. Hopefully that will turn this blurry day around. I have a feeling this could be my annual one movie I see that I actually highly enjoy. Last year it was Juno, so it's got some stiff competition.

Mars

The worst month of them all (well almost...September still holds that title) has not been all that bad. Granted, we're only 4 days in. The only bad thing thus far? My sleep recession. Usually, come May, I begin to wake up at 5:00-5:30 in the morning on an almost daily basis. The root of this was in middle school when my little brain was so anxious to listen to some new muzaks it would wake me up early just for that reason. This still happens...like I know an album really got to me if I wake up in the middle of the night, or early, just to listen to it. But if it is not May my body has a tendency to wake me up around 3:00 AM and it whispers in my ear "listen to the muuusic".

But this recession isn't like that.

Because of my class schedule I am able to sleep until 7:30, so that's what I was doing. Somehow my body, my mind, my subconscious, my something now feels the need to wake me up at 5:45 and not let go. There's no falling back asleep by then. It's like semi-reverse insomnia. And it's only March. I don't know how well I can fare with this.

I've been listening to Right Away, great Captain! quite a bit now (even more than usual, thanks to my sleep habits). RAGC is the side project of Andy Hull, the singer of Manchester Orchestra. It tells the story of a sailor who finds out his wife in in a relationship with his brother, and as he returns home from sailing (?)he plots his revenge. I think. It's a three part opus, but only two discs are out and from them I've only heard a handful of their songs ( including their AMAZING cover of The Mountain Goats "The Best Ever Death Metal Band Out of Denton). I'd really love to buy their/his CD, but I still have a good eleven CD's to listen to before I will allow myself to buy any old CDs. I might make an exception for the new Manchester Orchestra, which comes out very soon, and will be mind blowing-ly magical.

My daunting Collection of remaining CDs I need to Listen to. I've actually begun to make a dent in it.

"Well I am but a kitchen sink/The place to make the others clean/But you keep coming back to me/I've never felt so old"
