This one time I stayed at a friend’s parents house in San Jose and they lived off of a Payne Ave. Not the same but I always think of those two days and the song Sweet Payne together.
oh gosh
I’m taking a cours in Modernism and Literature and we’re supposed to write a 3-4 page essay in response to every class and I’ve started writing about The Hold Steady and The Waste Land.
I’m gonna be really embarrassed unless I manage to do this well.
Ugh…

I got the highest (out of 2, so a b or a) on my essay and I’ve decided to celebrate by buying the new Nada Surf and Craig Finn records because I haven’t and I feel ashamed.
I’ve also set up my shitty lp player and actually used it for the first time in a year and a half. It feels good.
I'm a little bit proud of my friends, and myself,...
We had our peer reviews/discussions about our first postgrad essays today and everybody (but one) seems to have done exceptionally well. It felt like such a positive academic experience for us all and a little bit of a hint to a bright future despite all the problems this English department has.

i am looking forward to this record.
Yes, so am I. I listened to the new Craig Finn for the firs time today, I have no idea why it took me so long to do it. I haven’t listened to new music at all for a really long time but now I feel extremely excited about it. Like the new year has stated...
