Cover
I got Phil Colins and Peter Gabriel confused for about 2 days. probably the dislexia. I like this cover a lot of Vampire Weekends Cape Cod kwassa Kwassa with Hot Chip and Peter Gabriel who is also mentioned in the song.

What were you for Halloween? I was an old school tennis wasp, not my intentional costume but it truly came together from inspiration from the costume I truly wanted to be blog...irony right? I know! Original costume idea a captain planeteer, or Price is Right Contestant Row Contestant.

Thoughts about my last day of work
I think I can safely say this was the most bomb summer job to date. It made me want to work for the money I was making.
Some things I learned:
1. Everyone thinks and acts like the own the place, which rightfully so, they all do own a small portion and pay equally for everything.
2. Behind the kitchen doors are grounds for all profanity, racism, drugs and alcoholics, just don't let the patrons know about your after work activities.
3. People love anything with a Burgee on it.
4. When intoxicated Ship Store sale sky rocket.
5. They call the snacks in the bar kibble.
6. Brunch is worth working for the food you receive in payment for getting up early on a Sunday.
7. Staff food is equal to camp food which is equal to getting fat from fried consumption. Remember to take the stairs more and don't drink to much soda.
8. There's a secret hierarchy.
9. Anchors always make a splash.
10. Don't take the bars juice, they get mad.
11. Its fun to go to work when you work at the CYC!

Southland Tales
I love when movies about the future take place in the not so distance future.
From the same writer and director as Donnie Darko, Richard Kelly, had come out with 6 part graphic novel that went along with the release of Southland Tales in 2007 limited release. He also designed the most interactive and extensive website for a film ever.
The apocolyspe is about to happen over Southern California also referred to as Southland by natives. Featuring an ensemble cast, which I LOVE! this movie really takes a look at the near future in a different history but closely resembling current events of our present day. This future includes porking cars, guerrilla underground gangs in Venice Beach, Zeppelin travel, and time travel, Richard Kelly loves themes of time travel, the fourth dimension, and one soul to save the world idea. This certain someone happens to be The Rock. Saving the world by sacrificing himself.
Another Kelly theme that came up was the antagonist with one eye shot out,(played by Sean William Scott whos twin from the future a UPU2 agent must die) who like in Donnie Darko did something in the past to change the events of future and must erase his mistake to fix the past/present.
Narrated by Justin Timberlake an ex-military survivor or Iraq where experiments were done on soldiers as part of an operation called Liquid Karma by a mad scientist who assistant is Bai Ling.
Watch close for Kevin Smith and Janeane Garofalo and Donnie Darko cast members all over the place. Including a homage to the Sparkle Motion dance troop recital.
Its dark and gloomy and shiny and bright.
Moby also does the whole sound track, its very epic.

Transplants
I realize being from Boston is a privilege and people who are blessed enough to come here for an education have no idea what they have. I have been around a lot of transplants around this city in the past couple weeks of summer. Mostly students who seem to be "stranded" here over the summer when the majority of the other students are at there designated homes. Well this is my home and when you come into my territory and dish it like your home is better its annoying. Home is Home nuff said about that, but seriously, so what if this place shuts down at 3am. If you want 24/7 go to NYC, when you came to Boston you get what you get. History never sleeps and thats what we got. I love California but Californians here are annoying! Open your eyes to what this city has for you. Maybe I have a better affinity for it because I grew up here and lived and breathed here. I saw death here, and Life. This place is amazing and if you don't think so then theres bound to be something wrong with you.

Steve Miller
So I saw the Steve Miller Band a few hours ago. It was a tribute to my mother and it was her birthday. Some interesting things about the show with some videos soon to come: first off Joe Cocker opened and I had no idea he sang so many songs we all knew so well. Mostly the one that came to mind the most was the Wonder Years theme song, "I get high from a little help from my friends" Steve Miller fucking rocked. He had two encores of course with last of the Joker. Something I found interesting was his recent recording at the Lucas ranch for his new album and songs for the new Star Wars movie. is there a conspircacy between classic rock and Star Wars?

Terminal Preppy
You can take the girl out of prep school but I guess not the prep out of the girl.
Lets go to the gym and tanning.
I go to college
That makes me so cool
I live in a dorm
And show off by the pool
I join the right clubs
Just to build an impression
I block out thinking
It won't get me ahead
My ambition in life
Is to look good on paper
All I want is a slot
In some big corporation
John Belushi's my hero
I lampoon and I ape him
My news of the world
Comes from Sports Illustrated
I'm proud of my trophies
Like my empty beer cans
Stacked in rows up the wall
To impress all my friends
No, I'm not here to learn
I just want to get drunk
And major in business
And be taught how to fuck
Win! Win!
I always play to win
Wanna fit in like a cog
In the faceless machine
[Chorus]
I'm a terminal terminal terminal preppie
terminal terminal terminal preppie
terminal terminal terminal terminal
terminal terminal terminal terminal
I want a wife with tits
Who just smiles all the time
In my centerfold world
Filled with Springsteen and wine
Some day I'll have power
Some day I'll have boats
A tract in some suburb
With Thanksgivings to host
[Chorus]
I'm a terminal terminal terminal preppie
terminal terminal terminal preppie
terminal terminal terminal preppie
Lets go to the gym and tanning.
I go to college
That makes me so cool
I live in a dorm
And show off by the pool
I join the right clubs
Just to build an impression
I block out thinking

All I want is a slot
