I don't think I have too much to say about her, partially bc I can't hold a conversation with people even behind anonymity.

I'm studying Law. Where I live it's a subject in law school. Basic stuff: Trigonometry, Mensuration, Arithmetic Progressions, etc.

Favorite book: Infinite Jest

Favorite album:
>listening to music in album form, buying albums, paying for music in general
>2007+10

How I feel: pretty good overall. used to have tons of existential unease but i've defeated it, i'm in pure bliss, kinda like Siddhartha at the end of Siddhartha

I'm listening to the whole piece and that's true that he's really good.
The audio quality isn't great though but I can't blame him.
The obvious difference is of course the instrument they're playing, which make the comparison difficult.(I'm a huge Gould fanboy but I must admit that his organ recordings aren't great.)

Their objectives with the piece also seem really different. Hantaï seems more impersonal but I don't mean this as a negative critique. I never minded that Gould took liberties with the piece but I can understand that one can prefer this more prosaic interpretation.

Favorite is a difficult term

I just aced a test that had been a dark stain on my soul for the last few months so I feel really relieved and cautiously happy. Also, I've been daydrinking with fiends in the sun.

Sickness Unto Death.

The warm notes of her voice were a world within; where night and day shared sky so there will always be a light... and even here I stand without dimension, waiting in frantic suspense to be scorched by the central flame again.

And, very surprisingly, I'm delighted with life as of now. It really is absurd, I've been having the worst month of my life and I can't help but smile.

weird choice for an album, i can dig it though

ulysses

destroyer - kaputt

im doing ok i guess. pretty content with life.

>Kaputt
For a summer, that album stuck with me through the day and came with me to bed. That album conjures up emotions that maybe five other albums can. Never could get into any of their other works though

lol i didnt like rubies for a few months when i was first getting into kaputt but now its in my top 10. i agree with you on kaputt though, no album makes me feel the way it does.

>Ulysses
>Blonde on Blonde
>I am not so sure how I feel. I am in the final stretch of an employment/living situation that I have been in for a while. My life will radically change in a few months, and I am not so sure whether or not for the better or the worse. I am trying to make the most of the time I have with my friends/time, but I feel like I hit a brick wall anytime I try to attempt anything that would be memorable like organizing social events.
Also the girl I love will be attending NYU in a few weeks, meaning that her and I will be on opposite sides of the country. That will be difficult, but the sooner I let go the better because there is more pussy to be had elsewhere, thought of the same quality I am not so sure of.

>How I Feel

Somewhere between Anxiety and Relief. On one hand, I've finished two of my exams for the term, but since they were on the same day, I only half-studied for each of them. I did find out that one of my essays for the mythology course I took is up for one of the department's year-end prizes, so that's nice, but it's for an essay I didn't put much effort into - I'm only getting the prize because no one else taking the course (it's a breadth requirement) knows how to write a damn essay. I'd much rather get a strong mark on one of the two Alice Munro essays I wrote, or win the short story prize that my local paper is putting on (one week until I hear back).

Favorite book is pictured.
My favorite album is probably In The Aeroplane Over The Sea.
Acid Rap and Pink Moon are up there too though.
About an hour ago I was about to write, spilled a glass of water all over myself and laptop, cleaned that up, went to the bathroom and then froze staring at the ceiling, wondering if the support beam could support my weight... Felt depressed for a while, jerked off, showered, wrote an essay on DFW for fun, drank a bottle of champagne, and I feel pretty good considering.

-It's spring break and i'm enjoying my week off from school. Smoking and drinking too much though so I kinda feel like shit. Gotta get back on track before next term starts, but for today i'm just gonna get stoned, enjoy the sun and
