Look Now, Look Again

severe allergies
& finals

Like a kick in the head
only slower

I’m riding my bike today
because my legs like it and
nothing feels like riding forward
leaning over the front tire
to push yourself faster than you could
ever walk
The first half of today was relaxed and a bit spacey. I dressed up, got coffee with Hannah, went to work, ate a fancy lunch, and gave my presentation. Now I’ve had a bit of a break at home (guitar and books and sugar) and I feel like changing into a lot of denim and skipping my creative writing class to work on my resume and read more of Dandelion Wine. (Which is a strange book to be reading in a wet Oregon spring. Everything seems even more dreamlike than Bradbury meant it, I think.) Sometimes days just go like this and today I feel lucky that I can kind of say “fuck it” and just do what feels good.

things that are difficult:

  • weaning yourself off of using gradients in every single design you create
  • reading anything by Piers Anthony and not marking up the pages with a red pen
  • peeing with a boner
  • peeing with half a boner
  • owning a debit card and not going all psycho and buying something from amazon every single day
  • taking anyone wearing neon colors seriously

things that are not difficult:

  • forgetting about spanish homework until the hour before it is due
  • accidentally buying starbucks every day in a week
  • spending four hours on the internet
  • putting way too much siracha sauce on your food

“As Serious as Your Life” by Four Tet

Can’t stop listening to Rounds. Homework music, whenever music. Also, I don’t think Four Tet has ever made a bad remix.

Been thinking about this a lot in my MUS 447 class… Electronic music is about 300 times harder to make than I thought it was. If nothing else, this class is making me appreciate DJs and electronica musicians more.
