Change in Every Little Desire, We Were Counting on Forces We Could Not Control

 Getting ready for the GRE's and just studying in general for school. Sunny Day Real Estate show tonight @ the Fonda Music Box. A lot of the shows i'm attending this year are @ venues i haven't been to before. The roxy for augustana for example was the first one for this year and it was a great little venue. Way smaller than i imagined but it made me love it even more. I was supposed to go to the Hollywood Palladium for Paramore about 10 days ago but the show got cancelled due to Hayley's laryngitis. Nonetheless tonight's show is @ the Fonda Music Box and i'm excited to go and see what it's like. Unlike most shows where i get there on time and all that jazz, i'm not in the mood to stand around for opening bands. What happened to the day when it was one opening band and then the main band? it wasn't that long ago, but more and more i'm seeing 2 usually but sometimes 3 opening acts. I love music and hearing new stuff, but sometimes i don't want to stand for 6 hours like i had to @ the Augustana concert. So i'll show up a little bit before SDRE goes on and have a good time in the back. Who says you need to be @ the front to have a good time anyway?

 But actually the main reason for this update is to share a few of my favorite things which i have recieved in the mail this week.

1. recieved a few things from New Zealand

best candy ever? possibly...if you exclude anything with chocolate of course

 2. If you're a movie lover, and if you're a friend of mine you had better have seen and atleast appreciate, if not LOVE , this movie...

Wes Anderson is one of the 4 or 5 directors i can never tire of. The other directors on this list are Alfred Hitchcock and Woody Allen. But i'm also leaving a little wiggle room in case i find another director i can feel the urge to rewatch again.

Okay, so off to more studying and eventual suicide. Want to eventually find the time to create a top 100 favorite songs list. Probably won't get done until my 5 1/2 hour flight to New Jersey, but we'll see.
