denial isn't just a river in egypt… it's my favorite river in egypt.

About Me

basically, i feel like people should let themselves have a good time in the short term and long term and try and facilitate other people having a good time too and try to minimise the suffering, cause there's always gonna be some of it.

My Interests

classic men's fashion, libraries, feelings of closeness, snow, premature nostalgia, earthtones, hippie mom fashion from the late seventies and early eighties, buildings that respect their viewers, bedroom dance parties

I'd like to meet:

friendly, interesting people. forever.

Music:

led zeppelin, sleater-kinney, m.i.a., jib kidder, jeppe, i scream ice cream, the gossip, asteroids galaxy tour

Movies:

the squid and the whale, hairspray (the original), ann arbor film festival

Television:

project runway, the office, the sarah silverman program

Books:

stuff for school, but when i'm done with that i'll read the metro times, the atlantic monthly, and bitch magazine mostly

Heroes:

people who feel all the way

Next Semester

Yesterday I had to drive on my own to class. It was so lame. It's my fault, I know, that I'm taking a class that's so far away, in the evening. Next semester will be different. Next semester I'll take...

Its Just Music, Baby

Often I'm upset that I spend my younger twenties doing barbershop instead of having been into music stuff for people my age. But that wouldn't have happened anyway. Who did I know who was into stuff t...

Can’t Deal with it Anymore

I know I shouldn’t say this

But Washington Mutual is now gone. That's the first of these banks that's, I don't know, a totally normal bank, right? I know it's enormous and probably has investments and lines of credit and credit ...

Music

So when I finally got Mac OS X I needed to find a new music player because they didn't have MacAMP for Mac OS X. I eventually found a simple program called Cog but it couldn't read all my old playlist...
