righto, kids. so, goldfrapp last night was of course all the gorgeous and sexy things. however, as much as i love them i'm not really into the latest album, which is a bit meh considering that's most of the material they played last night:
Paper Bag
A&E
Utopia
Cologne Cerrone Houdini
You Never Know
Road To Somewhere
Clowns
Little Bird
Number 1
Happiness
Ooh La La
Caravan Girl
Monster Love
Train
Strict Machine
----
Eat Yourself
Some People
utopia was by far the best, man...those high notes, brilliant. also, during number 1 some baldy guy was literally the only one standing up- think about the bass hall folks. he was second row...everyone could see him shakin' his rump for two full songs all by himself. fucking genius. the ending was pretty anti-climatic, but still i'm pretty happy having seen them. oh yeah.
mega love. pity about the shirts being rubbish, but i still got one anyway.
i wish lovely head was played.

man, how excellent does thom yorke look in red pants? pretty swell. well, as far as i could see...which was pretty far away. 40,000 in a grass field with constant rain...not exactly ideal conditions to view radiohead, but it'll do. plus man...sometimes rain adds romance to radiohead songs.

01 15 Step
02 Airbag
03 There There
04 All I Need
05 Nude
06 Weird Fishes/Arpeggi
07 The Gloaming
08 The National Anthem with Hunting Bears outro
09 Faust Arp
10 No Surprises
11 Jigsaw Falling Into Place
12 Reckoner
13 Just
14 Bangers + Mash
15 Everything In Its Right Place
16 Fake Plastic Trees

20 Myxomatosis
21 Optimistic
22 Karma Police
Encore 2
23 Like Spinning Plates
24 2 + 2 = 5
25 Idioteque
mmm hm. plus a snazzy new shirt that says: you'll go to hell for what your dirty mind is thinking.
goldfrapp on monday, kids. i for one am very excited about this one.

it's almost been a year since i've posted in this ole baby.
what a riot. i think i might start it up again...not because i have anything interesting to say, but more because i'm bored.

who even reads things like this anymore? just ashley?
hello!

as good as it has been to be in san antonio and see family...this past week i've mostly been thinking too much, stressing out, and well, i suppose in a bad mood. apologies.
i'm currently getting tired and drinking water. i think all the rain is probably affecting my mood as well. la la la la. texts about fresh prince and an msn chat with sammy c has made the night end quite well, except for the fact that i'm dying to have my own little place, a place of my own. whee. after seeing courtney's apartment all cute...and man, she even has red kitchenware, the bitch...i want a little space just for me. i'll keep it nice and tidy. shame i'll have to wait for it, because i don't think glasgow will cater to me.
also, my cousins are looking/are so old. man. the memere and pepere are excellent as always.
what else? i don't know. who cares. x

i'm thinking today was quite a nice day and almost absolutely nothing happened, but words.
and that's fine.
as a bonus there was a random des meeting. ho yuss!
i'm still wishing i had a typewriter that worked. curse the valentine and its good lucks.
tomorrow morning i will write the conclusion and edit my last essay. i will then officially start my summer vacation. sometimes it's good to be me.
also, the new black rebel motorcycle club album is more than something sexually excellent. i love them. and...the manics soon.
double also, i hate ours and interpol, and potentially rufus wainwright for playing dallas while i won't be there. a big fuck you goes out to you guys.
it's late/early. i probably need sleep.

 quite alright. |

so, spring break is over and i officially had to return to class this morning. one class. two classes. one class. that's my week...for the next two weeks then i'm completely finished with school, minus a two thousand word essay that's due 'sometime before i leave.' so, living the lazy life, even more so than usual. although, with this month and a half of absolutely nothing i'm going to try and focus on mail output, gift shopping for the loves at home, and well, poetry writing (ha!) and free reading. coffee at wetherspoons and films at the gft. the manics and mark greaney.
it'll be good, and i'm already looking forward to going home...more so because of the fact that not only am i quite homesick lately, but i'll be returning in the fall for the entire school year. jeebus. i think most of you already know that anyway..so, that's good stuff. ho yuss. but yes, home. air conditioning, mexican food, birthdays, stella, and of course the family and pals. good stuff, as well.
um...spring break? yeah, quite nice despite no travels. edinburgh- they have a nice american sort of hamburger/milkshake place that is something like an upscale whataburger. i say that because the logo is in the same colors and they have good food...fun. chocolate easter eggs, plenty of wine, casablanca in the cinema and on dvd, black rebel motorcycle club. oooh, babeh. ah, and the lives of others is quite good. see it. please?
today i'm spending the hours tidying up the room a bit. i haven't done a good job. ashley is distracting me on msn and i'm thinking that i want a tattoo for my birthday. liz, come home and we can get tattoos together. in the meantime, i'll figure out what i really want...text or something other. i'd quite like a simple drawing of a cupcake outlined in thick black with a cherry on top and that cherry colored in. of course, it'd have to be drawn quite perfectly, and that's the hardest part in my mind...no wait, the pain is. ouch.
right, i don't really know what i'm saying, but i'm pretty sure i was going to add something else that's more than likely really unimportant. so, that's that...oh, the new manics album....it's quite alright. i'm happy.

these are my concerns as of now:
1. sunday night my memere was rushed to the hospital because of a blood clot; her whole bottom half was numb. she's had emergency surgery and is intensive care; she still has no feeling in her left leg. my parents are in san antonio waiting for the doctors to give them further information, as she's having kidney problems now, so they suspect, so more surgery might be on the way, plus we don't really have a current status on her other than that. so i just keep waiting for my phone to ring for updates. i don't like being far away for situations like this and i don't like that i have no one here to vent worry or frustration to. it's a horrible feeling. i want things to work right in this situation. also, my memere is apparently upset that my folks told me she's more than unwell. dearie me. sighs.
2. essays. one essay is finished and turned in- three more due at the end of the week. modernism on thursday and nabokov/scottish lit on friday. i'm about halfway done on all of the essays, maybe a little more on the scottish lit one. i want to complete them all by wednesday- edit thursday and turn them in on that day or something similar to that plan. that would be nice. i'm worried about finishing. i have nothing to say about my fake modernist poem, reading it makes me cringe and say swear words. i just want to be done with them, that would be nice. spring break ahoy.
3. i don't know if this is really a concern, but it's on my mind as well...and that's the idea of coming back to glasgow for another school year...unt fucked me over, none the less still an option to be considered. i wouldn't have to reapply to the school, so me being rejected by strathclyde isn't an option, especially if i'm going to pay them mega money just to complain about classes and essays. so, everything is all set for this, except for my folks approval and the issue of money/loans. apparently the fafsa needs to be filled out before my folks can get in touch with any sort of student loan info- which is what they want to see- however, to process that fafsa and get a result could take ages, and i should probably know for certain if i'm coming back, before i actually get back to texas. so, this is a problem...but i'm going through the motions of getting set to come back...because, well, i can always cancel, but let's hope not. although, at the moment, i'm quite homesick. family problems and when i'm alone i really am just alone, i miss popping into the kitchen and eating cheezits while talking to leslie, and all the additional stuff that i'm used to. stella/mexican food.
to change the tone a bit- things i'm overly excited about:
1. going to the doctor tomorrow and hopefully getting a prescription to help my sore eyes. not that exciting...but it'll be helpful...i hope.
2. MARK GREANEY IS PLAYING THE ORAN MOR IN MAY. RAJHBSLBDHADBHASDBSAHDBSAHDBAHSBDHSABDHAB! he's opening, but still....fuckin' mark greaney. one of the ultimate loves, i might die. i really might. i'm hoping he might marry me. that'd be perfect. anyway...mega excitement. mega.- edit: i probably will die, because i'm also seeing the manics twice that month. lordy.
3. spring break: probably not going anywhere, but if i do- it'll be ireland with tall american roomie and her two pals. more details when and if i get them. still- casablanca is showing at the cinema on april 8th and 10th. i'm there for one of them. oh yes, i really am. plus, brmc on the 14th- pure sex. probably plenty of wine and dvds. i'm hoping the weather is nice because i'd like to lie in the grass of a park on a blanket reading a book after i've just purchased and ate some ice cream. also, free reading and potential poems. i'm trying liz, it's all on my mind.
4. discovering that the sopranos is on monday nights at 11 on channel 4. the season i've missed out on. badda bing!

two updates in a twenty four hour time period? oh my.
i stole this from ashley, because it takes skill to steal something from a different continent while sitting on yer ass.
Name anything in my house, that I own, or nearby, or in my life that you are curious about, that you would like me to take a picture of, and I'll take a picture of it and post it!
also, it's an excuse to take photos. which i need to do. writing. a third done with scottish lit essay; mega letter to liz, and laundry. more tomorrow.
also, fried mars bars...whee! it doesn't matter, i'm fat anyway. it actually does taste like warm cookie dough. bliss.
oh, and proper peanut butter on ze way. i'm loved...a little bit.
mwah!
