I can't believe I let this get behind, but I can honestly say I've had quite the busy and music filled week lately.



Saturday:
Today was the Kimya Dawson show I had been waiting weeks for. Being sold out and filled to the brim, I was surprised that they thought to have the show in the chapel of the First Unitarian Church. Lauren, her boyfriend Kyle, and I scored prime floor space to watch Kimya sing her stuff. The one problem I had with the show was the crowd. It was completely different than I expected, it seemingly being populated with "Juno" fans. So there were only a few of us singing along. We went to dinner with a few other people at a vegan chinese place. It was delicious.

Sunday:
Owen! He was simply marvelous and could crack quite a good joke.
"So there are three tampons walking down the street. A light, a regular, and a super. Which one says hello to you first?"
*Shoutings of either of the three*
"Well none. Because they're all stuck up bitches."
The music was fantastic, and I caught myself singing along to his damn brilliant lyrics.

Tuesday:
Hyphen Literary Magazine meeting. We went over some of the publishing problems and then saw on the screen how it would look in color. It's going to be fantastic, and I can't wait until it comes out.



Wednesday:
Day one of a two day Explosions In The Sky extravaganza. I took the subway down with Libby, Colleen, and Jackee and eventually met up with Lauren and Kyle there. Colleen's beau was also present, as well as a million people Jackee knows. It's so true, she knows everybody. The funny thing is that she's not even from Philadelphia. Long Island.
Getting on to the music, Explosions In The Sky were BRILLIANT. There is no other way I can put it. I felt reborn and rejuvenated. I kept myself flowing to the music and lost myself completely in it that night. I walked back to the subway station in utter amazement, laughing and almost crying. They were quite overwhelming.

Thursday:
Day two of the Explosions In The Sky extravaganza. I met Garet at the show and promptly tried to find a spot as close to the stage as possible. I had a received a call that my friend Erin from back home was going to be there, so I had to find her. I was so excited to see a familiar face from home, and we caught up on a lot of things. Lichens started up, so we somewhat watched and somewhat talked. For me, it was just really hard for me to concentrate on.
Soon enough though, Explosions got on stage and it just went from there. "Your Hand In Mine" began to play, and seeing no results after a minute into the song, I nudged Garet and grabbed his hand.


Now today is Friday. Just two classes, Intellectual Heritage and American History 1877-Present. After this, I get to make my way to 30th Street Station to spend my birthday weekend with Lauren and Libby back home. I am so excited to go home and see my family and some close friends. It's going to be quite good.
