and you will move onto other rooms



i think this is probably my favorite why? song. i can't exactly explain it, but something about the first verse always makes me feel sad and happy and anxious and wonderful.
"Then the wedding, then the woman passed out in the driver's seat at the orderboard at White Castle. We woke her up and she went 'round to the pick-up window like she knew exactly where she was."
that's not really, like, a deep insight about anything, that's just something that happened. maybe that's why it seems so sweet to me? the video is really, really beautiful, too.

on a different sort of note, kazuki tomokawa. i guess that blogotheque website does these things called take away shows, where they get a band to play a song outside of a traditional concert setting. i really like throw me the statue's cover of guided by voice's "my valuable hunting knife", and man man's "skin tension", and of course they have the shins and stuff. but anyways... kazuki tomokawa. randy showed this video to me, and the intensity blows me away. it's so fragile and some fierce at the same time. really captivating, i think... i need to hear some studio stuff.

i saw an old buddhist tour guide on the travel channel say "i do this to make me more pure at heart". it was a nice thing to say.

summary

i had a really, really good month, and then a really, really hard month. maybe the hardest. then i had a pretty good month, but the end was kind of busy. ¡life!

there are people who i haven't seen in a while, and i wish i was still friends with those people. it'd be nice, you know? to talk again. maybe just an afternoon and then i'd be good for another five to ten years. maybe not?
