I gotta get a bike and gotta paint it red

I’m really bad at managing my addictions. Last week I was browsing Barsuk Records (Death Cab For Cutie’s label) and saw they had the new DCFC EP available (The John Byrd EP), as well as You Can Play These Songs With Chords at pretty good prices, so I ordered them. They were waiting in my mailbox when I arrived back on campus today. The John Byrd EP definitely kicks ass.
And when I was finishing up some birthday shopping for my mom the other day I came across Ladder 49 and The Incredibles, which were probably two of the best movies I’ve seen in the last year, so of course I was obligated to buy them. But now that I’m back in Potsdam, I think the spree has officially concluded.
Didn’t do a whole lot today. Skipped both of my classes and ended up wrestling with Prof. Fulton’s laptop for a few hours this afternoon trying to get the wireless to work in Linux or Windows.
This evening I went to Cinema 10, even though I wasn’t all that interested in the movie showing tonight, Big Animal, a black and white film from Poland. There have been plenty of Cinema 10 movies I haven’t been interested by, but I usually go anyway because it’s a good way to unwind before coming back to campus and doing work. It’s also nice because more often than not the movie selections force me to look at something I wouldn’t normally look at or to think about an old issue in a new way.
