Awww! Look at the cute little stomachache microbe that's making my life so miserable! I pulled a literal all-nighter since I was feeling so sick. However, all those hours did give me the chance to explore lesser known Hulu tv shows, such as Community and the Rotten Tomatoes review show. I still feel like I'm going to implode from the inside, so here's a list of my favorite chill out songs to get my mind off of, you know, vomiting.
Sigur Ros - All Alright
Sigur Ros - Hoppipolla
Sigur Ros - Untitled #4

Air France - No Way Down

Obviously I didn't keep my promise. It's been six months wooooo. In that period of time, I (suicidally) decided to re-apply to the colleges I never got to, as I applied to Swarthmore early decision. A giant pile of college essay bullshit later, I am transferring to Brown University next year and I'm really excited. Providence is beautiful.
Check out Brown's radio station BSR that I will be joining!
Alright, let's bring it all back home.

Wooo for Christmas cheer. Less "woo" for the torrent of tourists who have seemingly come to New York just to walk very, very slowly. What I really want for Christmas: a pop up blocker that actually blocks pop-ups. One sneaky little bastard of a window just tried to sell me a Clinton commemorative coin. WHAT?? Oh also, thank you Santa for the health care bill passing in the Senate even if its not perf.
I don't know if the Pipettes are that talented, but they're super cute.
The Pipettes - White Christmas
Makes me cry, makes me FEEEEL. so pretentious.
Sufjan Stevens - Star of Wonder

Such weirdos. Do NOT watch "Christmas on Mars" ever.

No one cares if I update (no one reads it) annnnd honestly, I don't care very much either (school, friends, real hobby-type commitments.) So here are my faves of the week. That's a good goal: an update every week!
Any song past ten minutes (this one is 10:40) earns the word "epic" regardless of how good it is. But this one is good, swearzies.

Thao Nguyen with the Get Down Stay Down - Cool Yourself
An oldie but a goodie.

That's my home! Still at swat, still dying from work. There has been one development pertinent to this blog: I got a radio show! Go to wsrnfm.org to access podcasts for "Mouichido," my "electronic" show that really just plays whatever the fuck I want that happens to have synthesizers in it. Here are some highlights from the last week:
This song goes out pizza hut, taco bell, and those who appreciate them.

Just finished reading Heart of Darkness by Conrad for the first time and its awesome shit. That is a smart man right there. Super stressed out at college; I've already missed two classes and I have a sinking suspicion that balancing five clubs may be statistically impossible. My main antidote for the weary day is just, well, aforementioned awesome shit.I wish bullshit "hip hop" radio stations played good hip hop.
KiD CuDi - Soundtrack 2 My Life

Prom weekend has come and gone. There were no cat fights (see above) over similar dresses, nor was there any serious prom-ah. After-prom getaway was awesome, due to gigantic speakers, a seven foot beach ball, and a lotta ruit. No one liked my CDs, since they were all indie and didn't include any Lil' Wayne songs. WhatEVER! Here are a few of those songs.
