Ben & Jerry really hit the mark with that one. I told Naima I wanted to be buried with a pint of it, it's that good. I still love Half Baked...but this is just...beyond.
I really fuckin wanted to see Dave in concert, but found out about his concert dates too late. Arggghhh. I still have yet to see him live, and it's killing me. Slowly but surely.
MUST. SEE. DAVE. LIVE.
He's just such a great reference when it comes to unique musicianship. I used to not be a fan, but I blame the radio stations for overplaying "Crash Into Me," because that's what really turned me off. But then I really listened, and he's just great. Brilliant.
Saw Naima today and previewed the new pieces for her; her enthusiasm did a good number on my confidence. And after a long chat about forked paths and such, I've decided that I'm really going to give this music thing a go (because in the end, I wasn't born a pragmatist, I was born a romantic idealist). When I get back from AK, it'll be hardcore recording and sending demos out to as many labels as I can find. And if I get absolutely no response from any of them...then I don't know.
I'll probably be very sad from the rejection and might give up for a while. So let's all cross our fingers and hope that someone out there likes my music.
Pow-wowed with my suitemate Kelsey while talking to Elena on the phone. After a long Q&A session, it seems like we should get along fairly well; they don't seem really anal or bitchy or dirty. In fact, they -- well, at least Kelsey -- seem nice. And Kelsey apparently is really into nail art and is willing to give me and Elena free manicures. She specializes in cheetah/zebra/flower patterns. And has special Halloween/Christmas patterns as well.
...Part of me is laughing, and part of me just doesn't know how to react. Well, whatever man, FREE MANICURES! (I hope she also specializes in normal, solid colors like mauve)
Oh and what began as a joke is turning into the real deal: Elena and I are going to bring Daisy (her 6 ft stuffed animal giraffe) to the dorm. I remember when she got it for her birthday a few years ago...some of the guys apparently ran around the city toting it around...sneaking it into her room behind her back was difficult; it's 6 ft tall, for chrissakes. Woot. We're planning on bringing it to the dorm via subway and walking around the village with it propped on our shoulders. Huzzah! That should be interesting, to say the least.
And yay for my Colette library, which Naima contributed to! I now have 5 different Colette books/collections in my possession. But I like to think that one can't have enough Colette. Or books in general, for that matter.
