A late notice.

Dear dedicated readers of my blog (yes, all two of you),
Unfortunately my computer decided to die on me (what?! twice within a year and a half?! yeah, i know.) so I have not had a computer for almost a month. Or over a month. I'm not sure. Regardless, that is why I have stopped blogging.

However, in the interim, I have been journaling by hand. My initial plan was to eventually upload these handwritten entries to my blog, but the nature of writing by hand is so different from writing online that I fear my entries have become too weird/personal, so I don't know how many I'll actually post. But you've got that to look forward to, that is if you look forward to reading my posts (<3 Samuel <3).

At first when I lost my computer I would get really moody and weird at times... like technology withdrawal, or something. But now I don't even want my computer back. Computers are a barrier between people of our generation and reality, Facebook is super lame, email is for suckers. FUCK YOU, STUDENT TALK.

Well well well, can I update you on? I've decided to study abroad next semester at the University of Essex in Colchester, England. They've got a lot of film classes, so that should be neato! I still have to start the application though, which is due later this month... but I have the utmost confidence that I WILL GET THAT APPLICATION COMPLETED AND TURNED IN ON TIME!

(I should probably be working on that rather than blogging but... sacrifices must be made).

Also, I successfully dressed as Daria for Halloween.

Please watch Swimming to Cambodia.

I've seen some more bands recently as well... better keep up that list...
Octopus Project
Starfucker
Sufjan Stevens
Owen Pallett

and maybe Young the Giant tomorrow. But probably not.


I'm getting ready to pick my classes for next semester and I think I've decided on the following:
Special Topics in Music: Film Music
Rock and Roll Writing
Music in Western Civilization
Elementary Astronomy
Applied Keyboard Studies

NEAT.

Uhh... not too much else going on... Thanksgiving soon, that'll be exciting...

MMK I'll try to update more (or maybe get my computer fixed... maybe).



That is all.
