Children are really bizarre, fascinating creatures. We reminisced over dinner last night (FREE chicken fried chicken at Threadgills - many thanks to Frances for the heads up!) about the oddities and absurdities that somehow come to define childhood. Honest to god, we do some weird shit as kids.

If you're a fan of NPR on facebook, you've probably already seen this... What music should first grace your child's ears? What kind of impact, if any, might it have? I have no clue what I might've first heard - something at least acceptable in the 80s?

Got to be off to CLA for the afternoon. The festival begins next Wednesday!!! & the schedule is finally up on the site. Check it out :)

Fun discourse on taxation in America. Check it.

Just some food for thought.

What a nice surprise. I arrive home late from studying for my MKT exam (which is tomorrow)... and what to my wondering eyes should appear but the next Resident Advisor podcast! And mixed by Booka Shade at that :)

I'm giving it a go now - it's chill. Great background noise while studying.

Check it!

'Don't Lose Yourself' - Laura Veirs

It's that time of the week :) Sunday night song! I nearly threw another minimal track at you (I've been listening to some smooth shit all evening while studying), but instead decided to go with an old favorite. Suffice it to say, I love this song. Love the lyrics. Love Laura Veirs. She's fantastical, imaginative, brilliant, moving, deep, everything.

This vid occasionally edges up on pure corniness... but more than anything else, it's precious.

Good luck with your studies & have a great week! Mine is jam-packed & looks a little daunting. Send me your good vibes.

feliz pascua- -

painting by Kris Wlodarski

Happy bunny day :) I'm home for the weekend chilling with the fam. The padres threw an early birthday dinner for me. Good times despite the fact that I've fallen victim to a rather vicious head cold. All I can say is it better be over and done with by next weekend.

I find this work by Wlodarski... well... thought provoking. Enjoy it and interpret it for yourself. Gah I'm hoping that I won't be ushered off to mass tomorrow morning. I've heard it put this way before, but cannot recollect from who - 'I'm not fortunate enough to be a person of faith'... but I'm alright with this, really.

catch ya later-

btw, I'm 99.5% sure there will be a student discount of some sort. I'm waiting to hear back from the director on this, but I'll pass the info on to you guys as soon as I'm made aware ;)

Check this brief article from Variety on the flick. Opening night is guaranteed to be fun no matter what. We're expecting a crowd, members of the cast should be attending, and there will be an after party. And, of course, I'll be there - THE number one reason why you should be, too.

The official schedule will be released soon! We've had some difficulties fitting in all the films and sorting out things with the various theaters, but the schedule should be going to print by Monday! I'm planning to blog on movies that I'm particularly excited about seeing (including a Brazilian horror flick & an animated adults-only showcase). Cool stuff.

Let your friends know about the festival & drag them along to some screenings! It'll be blast.

much love <3

i got supplies, you got demands.

This has been out there for a while, but just in case you haven't tripped over it on the nets yet...

Supply & Demand - Fischerspooner

Their new album, 'Between Worlds', should be out May 5th. 'Odyssey', Fischerspooner's previous record was quite possibly my soundtrack to last July/August in Chile.

Wanted to share :)
