October Song

I look forward to October every year so this can be my theme song. I remember the moment I fell in love with it, walking across University Yard at GW Freshman year and just thinking it described how I felt at that moment so well. I guess not so much lyrically, but as a whole package.

Well, I always thought it was by Bert Jansch, now I learn it's by the Incredible String Band, another Glasgow act, that Jansch used to dabble with in the 60s. Well, here are both versions. They're both amazing. Though I'm still partial to Jansch's ridiculously haunting voice:

weekend

I literally have NO plans this weekend. I managed to fill all of September with super busy weekends, thus distracting me from the fact that grad school was over and friends had dispersed. Now I'm left facing two days of having literally nothing to do. Oh wait, I told my boss I would make a design for our next company competition. I'll do that... tomorrow...

Usually when I'm busy I dream of weekends like this, where I can just hypothetically lay in bed the whole time and read books. Well, when actually faced with that, all I feel is ridiculous boredom. It just turned 9am and I'm already bored! Disaster!

I think I'm going to surf various music blogs and capture come sweet tunes to make my October fab. I already found a really great on, which shall follow immediately after this boring bored post.

i loved you the same way i do. i've got so much wickedness and sin.

My night tonight has been consumed with talking on the phone with a friend and then watching the It Gets Better Project videos on Youtube. Oh my god. Powerful. I pretty much sobbed at all of them. Dan Savage, what a wonderful man and him and his partner have such a beautiful story. Everyone should definitely check it out.

I hope Dustin Lance Black, the Milk screenwriter, makes one because his Oscar acceptance speech left me bawling.

I literally just spit all over my laptop from this clip.

I've been meaning to watch this for over a week. I finally got around to it and it did not disappoint. Amazing.

A friend sent me the link to Pictures of Walls yesterday. A blog that contains exactly what its name suggests. It's filled with a whole slew of random things written on walls, funny like the one above, or sad, or cute, or sentimental and so on. Definitely worth a look.
