Today is the next day
Apr. 30th, 2006 03:09 am( Yesterday I got up and went to a Japan trip briefing. )
( Then I saw a bunch of people for lunch! )
I gave Elise Young Miles to borrow and read, and she gave me a mix! I've only listened to it once, and, because I've made so many more mixes than I've received, my listening protocols in this situation are really clumsy; I haven't really managed to form an opinion of the thing as a whole, yet. I really like a lot of the songs, though (and am familiar with more of them than I'd realized; one was known to me by a different title, and one not by a title at all, and one is an honest to goodness hidden track, with two minutes of silence carefully prepended and everything! Awesome). The opener is good as an opener, and the end a good end.
After the lunch, we slowly dissolved; four of us bought a big slice of watermelon and went to eat it in the nearby park (did I mention that the weather was excellent yesterday? The sun is starting to get hot, but it's not yet unbearably so), and after that Andrew and I went to the library and then to start to see to my third important thing. This was last night's Franz Ferdinand/Death Cab For Cutie concert, which I was getting to go to, even though I'd long since decided that it would be too expensive, because Conor had won tickets, and I had successfully convinced him to take me. ( Transitions cut, plus asides. )
( This one has the concert in it. )
We left happy, and crowded onto separate buses, and I went home and fell almost immediately asleep.
And this morning I woke up around noon, which explains why I was able to stay up so late to post this. This entry took me a really long time to write.
