I just had an out-of-body experience while eating a red velvet cupcake. Also I'm starting my favorite month off right by going to KNOTTS SCARY FARM.

Found this draft from February but I dunno...

OKAY So I'm kindof down to focus on Pre-Columbian Mexican Art for the rest of my undergrad. I dont even like the class that much but just from looking at the art I can tell they are FUCKING RETARDED. So much drugs, or just like.. dilly-dallying. Or heat stroke. I CANT EXPLAIN but they are seriously so good. I had such a problem with this class because everything the teacher talked about was some kind of magic realism (thanks london) where the actual history of Central Mexico and Tenochtitlan included strange Hummingbird Gods and Snakes-Her-Skirt Diety Ladies. But it just hit me that I'd love to spend years in Mexico hunting down historical treasures or at least piecing together cool facts about these seemingly backwards-ass people. Also, I guess they never made any kind of attempt at hue modeling so all their illustrations just look like they're straight out of a psychedelic 2D children's book while also bearing an uncanny resemblance to Yoshi's Island for Super Nintendo.

It's like when learning about Greek history and the Trojan War, which we know happened, but then it's like cool, did it really begin with Paris and Helen and three goddesses vying for a golden apple? But I'm kindof down for cultures where the line between truth and conjecture and fantasy are all blurred. I should totally read the Bible! Am I stupid?

I hung this little googly-eyed fur over my bed last night that Paige got me in the Yukon. I had a dream full of bad feelings and my sole condolence through all the terrible shit that was going on was this sloth-like animal that i found and had to take care of while aboard a party bus. The resident zoologist on the bus was doing some tests on it and told me that the breed name was "Baby Piglet" but it was nothing like a pig, it was more like a tree-dwelling mammal. Anyway it was the nicest cutest comfort and he had two tiny mini versions of himself who came with him at all times who were either his babies or some kind of adorable parasites that clung on for the ride. I had to make sure I had all three creatures with me, and I had to keep them safe from the rowdy kids on the party bus, which ended up in Santa Cruz where it was cruel and rainy. I miss the animal so much and I've been thinking about it all day.

if i send out my resume to prospective employers at 1 am will they think i'm irresponsible?

also, textsfromlastnight.com is funny, but more than anything it just makes me feel like everyone in the world is having way more casual sex than i am and getting way more shitfaced (but i guess the latter is a given)

on a completely unrelated note, i'm a little freaked out

so like fuck owls in general, but the sound of one hooting in the daytime is one of my favorite things.

also on my mom's computer i just tried to copy and paste something into a word document, but i guess i didn't copy the thing i wanted correctly, so this is what came from the clip board

"My family relationships are not free and easy; they're a lot of work, and right now I'm feeling a little eroded by them."

Oh this is probably the closest I've ever gotten to having a role model.

I just learned something really disgusting about myself: I really kind of love the sound of people eating. Like all the gross lip-smacking moist saliva sounds. Eugh.

Also I want to live in French in Action. Also where my bitches?

I'm actually having a great winter break thus far. I'm really happy to have a few good friends. I'm really proud of myself. I'm also really glad "Pay Jay" got kindasorta released.
PS, For anyone who reads this' viewing pleasure, here are a few images from the powerpoints from my late Issues in Materials Preservation class.

I haven't listened to music in like 3 deyzz

Anyway it's nice to know that Radiohead are avid listeners of Dabrye. They are slowly retracting the weenie-ness they've been emanating since In Rainbows came out. *dodges tomatoes and other assorted fruits* / *now uses netspeak action asterisks?*

Also, it just so turns out the October-released Department of Eagles' album In Ear Park WAS in fact named after the Westwood Rec, the park behind the Federal Building where I spent a large part of my childhood playing on the basketball team that my dad coached as well as eating hot dogs and getting ridiculed by persian girls. I also played on the said "ear", which is a (now fenced off) interactive sculpture on the Veteran Ave. side of the park.

my personal favorite: Department of Eagles - TEENAYJAHS

I also just did some internet lurking and found Amelia Bauer the person responsible for the cover art, and all her stuff is really tight! (note my arthistorymajor artist description skills)

Oh, also! This Sunday is the last chance you get to see Ryan Trecartin's I-Be Area in it's entirety at the Hammer Museum. Its.. ridiculous and fantastic. Better description here. Seriously, don't miss it

I basically sat in a cloud for 2 hours last night and now I'm sick, cool.

My first impression of the new Kanye album was really mediocre, but I really like how this one sounds like a straight Kate Bush song sprinkled with a little bit of Backstreet Boy's "Show Me The Meaning of Being Lonely" (I DONT KNOW).

I am not looking forward to winter break, at all.

I cant get over this picture of Tina Turner (Taken from Best Week Ever, aka heaven)

Last night Three 6 Mafia played a show at UCLA. They are 100% ridiculous but in the best way. In between asking the crowd if they liked eating pussy and doing coke off of buttcracks and titties (which I honestly suspect was for a legit study on sex and drug use among college students) they asked the crowd if they knew about "Adventures in Hollyhood" and I was basically the only person who screeched YeS??!?? and Juicy J laughed at me. But then later he grabbed me and pulled me up on stage during "Poppin My Collar" so I could join all the other hoes onstage. I got there just in time for the booty-shaking contest that was "Lolli Lolli (Pop That Body)". Emphasis on the "Lol".

In tribute to the triple six:

1. I want some motherfucking egg salad.

2. For being such a high-tech campus in every other respect, it's pretty silly that UCLA still uses blackboards in every classroom.

3. The other day I saw the most committed skate dad ever, but he looked exactly like Paul Mooney.

4. More cultured blog post coming in the near future.

So I heard this song on the radio today and while listening to it I was like, wait, this is really good. This sounds like the Beatles, but I kinda hope its not the Beatles. I'd love it if this were some new indie rock band, cause I've definitely lost faith in most new indie rock bands but I always get really excited when a really amazing one stands out of the crowd and surpasses my expectations and basically becomes my No. 1 Stunna. But still, this really sounds like the Beatles.

Turns out it wasn't the Beatles! But it was Paul McCartney's band that he formed after the B-boys broke up in 1970. They're called WINGS! Loveeee it. Way to like completely predict the mid-2000s trend in band-naming that is just a pluralized noun without a "The" preceding it. I'm looking at you Foals, Liars, Islands, Black Lips, and Nephews.

Wings - Let 'Em In

Oh and please note that the song is called "Let 'Em In" and it starts with the doorbell ring that my grandma had played on some kind of vibraphone. Can you say purrrfect?

So the bottom line is that I think its finally time to let the Beatles and their side and solo projects infiltrate my music collection. I've resisted my entire life (and my parents never showed me the light), but I think the time has come to man up to the fact that theres a reason that they're considered the greatest band of all time.

oh hey, i made a blog

first order of business:

When I was at a club in Montreal this Brenton Wood song came on and it was straight up magical. Jane and I were the only people on the dance floor, at least until these two suitors came on the scene and danced like zombies in order to win our affection.

Brenton Wood - The Oogum Boogum Song

By the way, this guy got his stage name from "Brentwood" as in Brentwood, CA, as in the part of LA where I went to elementary school. Oh and p.s. I secretly like to pretend my dream boy is singing this to me, because he appreciates me not only for my good looks and personality, but also for my amazingly effortless style. (Uh, yeah)

Wow, I'm probably making a really great first impression.

Hrmm, second order of business:

I found this community that is seriously perfect for Hanna (and im not putting any weight on the word "found" because I'm pretty sure the member count is somewhere in the four thousands). It definitely goes against my cause that I'm mentioning livejournal in my first ~blog post~ since the reason I made a blog in the first place is because it's a more current, socially accepted version of the same thing. But I suppose its nice to make that gradual transition, because I'll definitely miss my friends page (that is, if I ever do completely wean myself off the eljay)

Well thats it for now! Time for a 3-day weekend.
