we trick the train to stay on track
I'm not dead, just busy.
My uber-partner-in-crime Riese just posted our joint reviews of the Tegan and Sara / Northern State show last night, it's a great read (if you like vapid-sounding run on sentences from two alcoholics). It's here, and it's great.
Lots of awesome things on the horizon, I'm excited just thinking about them.

back from the dead
Well. It's been a while. Told you I'm bad at keeping up on this. Lots has happened, I've been wicked busy, etc. I have ideas for some new posts and hopefully I'll have time to write them.
Tonight was Made For You, where DJ Carlytron (hey, that's me!) made her debut. The event was awesome and successful and I had a blast, and here's what I played!
Oh, before I get to the setlist, I have an UPDATE (6:50 pm): Upon closer inspection of my super-cute swag bag, I have come to a startling revelation. My mom put her business cards in the bags (she does jewelry designs and repair, lemme know if anyone needs some pearls restrung or whatever! She's fab), and since I was so busy working the past few weeks she made them herself, I didn't get to design them for her. Um ... I don't know how to say this, but she used Comic Sans. ::shudder:: Anyone who knows me knows how I feel about Comic Sans. I'm going to have to have a talk with her about this. Ok anyway, setlist!

I need those glasses
Kanye West's new video "Stronger" is awesome and in the video (also awesome) he is wearing glasses seen here. They are amazing and part of his own clothing line, apparently. I was just discussing this with my sister:
Bailey: they are spectacular...spectacles?
Me: NICE
Me: ocular eccentricities
Bailey: whoa..just whoa that was such a great phrase
Me: i am so proud of that.
Bailey: coin that. now. please
Me: i will.
Me: i'll PUT IT ON MY BLOGGG
Bailey: YES
Bailey: ill put that you coined it on my blog. just so its in two places, that you coined it
Me: good. then it's official.
Bailey: completely

today was a good day
That is just so I remember, today was a really good day. Downloaded some Dragonette tracks, I really like them. Additionally, I need this. That is all. I said I'd post, I didn't say it would be good.
Oh! And I updated my links page. I don't have a blogroll on the blog, I have that links page instead. Do check it out if you haven't yet.

i will create my own fun
a few things, then bed, then more excitement:
- i hung out in central park all day and it was a blast. we flew kites and i played with a yo-yo. i was absolutely not in a good mood this morning, overcome with crazy anxiety all morning, but finally loosened up and had a great day with my friends. amazing photos coming soon.
- went to superfine and cattyshack tonight. superfine was rad. is sunday night a bad night for cattyshack? cause it was totally dead.
- i made my myspace un-friends-only. which was probably a bad idea and i will probably change it back soon, so enjoy it while it lasts.
- the cinematics are a great band, check them out.
- michael cera, formerly of the best show ever (arrested development, like you had to ask) has a web series and it is amazing. see for yourelf.

What you don't know won't hurt you
Bummer of all bummers ... 80s/90s supergroup Exposé was scheduled to play at Madison Square Garden roughly 1 week after my birthday, but due to the NBA playoffs it has been cancelled. LAME. The worst part is that they are playing in May at the UCF Arena, my alma mater and 20 minutes from where I have been living for the past few years. But now I'm up north, so for now ... no Exposé for me. Boo hoo.
