I hate Ann Coulter.
All she spouts out are lies and ad hominems of liberals and over-generalizes.
She misinforms so many people of so many things. Like evolution.
It is truly scary people actually listen to her.
Her and Rush Limbaugh.

Perfectly fitting right now. Great fucking song.
Today is Wednesday.
Which means that tonight is buff chick night at York. Oh how I have waited for this night.
Modern life is war.

The new Braid EP isn't nearly as bad as everyone says it is.
I’m finally getting around to hearing it for the first time now, and it’s really… not that bad. If you go into it understanding that there’s no way you could expect them to pick up exactly where they left off with Frame & Canvas, I’d say it’s actually pretty enjoyable. I wouldn’t say it’s life-changing or anything (like Braid’s earlier work absolutely is), but it sure is better than most of the stuff I’ve heard come out of 2011 so far.
It's all coming back to me now.
Last year had its ups and downs, but in retrospect I really was having the time of my life at school.
Now I haven’t even been back a full day yet and I’m already back to having that collegiate mindset - once again, I’m having the time of my life.
I might be away from tumblr and the internet in general for a while; I’ve got lots of unpacking left to do, first of all, and before we fall back into the our daily routines I’m going to make the most of this time while everything is still fresh and exciting.
I made my way to a party all the way across town… it was thrown by the friend of an ex-thing. I wasn’t sure if I should go, but when I got up in the place there were smiles all up and down. I grabbed my ex in the kitchen, I told her I was sorry I came, but she looked at me with a glazed smile and said: “you are invited by anyone to do anything.”
Moving back home to Orono tomorrow
If you could see how excited I am right now…
Dozen Roses
Braid
Braid - A Dozen Roses
a dozen roses in the car
and i don’t know where you are
maybe i don’t know what i’m doing
you’re moving like a movie
you still move me
among the other ones
and twos and threes and twenty-threes
got to keep my conscience clean
but that hurricane what’s-her-name
mentality was not for me
and never could be
cause it surely brings bitter things
and misery
and i say
heaven hits me hard
in with the new
heaven hits me hardly
in with the news
whatever gets me started
in with the noose
have you ever had a heaven here
and was it clear?
cause i just wrote a letter
a confession down the ladder
that things could be so much better
and through follow the leader
i met her and then another end
and usually a grudge
but i loved so much
the way we touched and psuedo-kissed
oh i already miss you singing like this
over the phone
every now and every then i tend to pretend
i’m not alone
i’m not alone
i’m not so alone
static made old radio
now i know
static made old radio
heaven hits me hard
in with the new
heaven hits me hardly
in with the news
whatever gets me started
in with the noose
have you ever had a heaven here
and was it clearly better?
Probably my favorite Braid song.

Speaking of petty problems…
This used to be my favorite album/band. Haven’t listened in forever but a few years ago this meant everything to me.
I've been locked out of playing Portal 2 for the time being
what a nightmare.

I’ve never been a big Sigur Rós fan but this song always hits me so hard.

Cap’n Jazz - ¡Que Suerte!
I get up at 5 AM, I so don’t need those dreams I used to have.
“And recognizing that our male dominated culture is fucked up doesn’t make you a self-hating man, either. When I first heard Bikini Kill, it was fucking thrilling. Hearing someone lash out against dominant sexist attitudes wasn’t exciting in some sort of “oh good for women, they’re standing up for themselves,” type of way. It was liberating to hear someone take on those traditional expressions of masculinity, because I hated the ways I was expected to act as a man. I hated the toughness and numbness that was expected from men, because I wanted to be able to express my emotions without fear of ridicule. I hated the predatory way that men acted towards women, because I wanted to be free to have meaningful relationships with women. Likewise, I hated the homophobia, because I wanted to have meaningful relationships with the men in my life. I see men around me all the time who refuse to show any signs of vulnerability for fear of appearing feminine, and they tend to cut themselves off emotionally from the world. It’s fucking sad. I see men all the time who only view their relationships in terms of conquest, and I can’t think of one of them who has a healthy emotional life. Breaking down ideas around male superiority and masculinity is absolutely in mens’ best interests. In a punk context, I can say with certainty that the scenes I’ve visited that were the most gender inclusive have always been the most exciting and thriving music communities. There’s nothing to be gained for men in maintaining the boy’s club.”
