so much too much

i have no time to breathe. i can't even find time to pick up my paycheck :(. this is terrible. on the bright side, at least i HAVE a paycheck. the economy is really shitty, as i experienced first hand over the summer, but working on campus helps to shield me from that sad sad fact. 

soooo i went to street scene. for free with press passes. such a good weekend. i went with amazing people that like to have fun and drink and dance as much as i do. first night is a leettle hazy, but i definitely remember Justice. ohhhh my. they were amazing. absolutely amazing. the pulsating bass put to the flashing cross in the center of the stage was serotonin upping. the next night i enjoyed the beats of ghostland observatory. as i said that night, experiencing their music made me feel like i was having sex. period. and god bless devo! how many people in my generation can say that they saw devo live? not very many. and they kicked ASS. 

my second day of street scene got a little dimmer when i heard the sad news that DJ AM and Travis Barker were in a fatal plane crash. they were the only survivors. someone said to me that if that had happened to them they would believe in god 100%. what must that mean to be one of two survivors? that's some heavy shit. but i am deeply glad that they are okay.

i am very much enjoying working on the vista. i've had some amazing opportunities given to me because of this little newspaper, including an interview with Michael Cera and Kat Dennings and all access passes to the upcoming San Diego Film Festival. check out my shit at The Vista.

another sad thing that i heard is that TRL has been cancelled! that show was my favorite thing to watch when i was...younger...and i think it helped to define my generation. remember eminem? britney v. christina v. jessica simpson (who didn't really count)? i loved all that drama! it was so exciting! but thankfully MTV has introduced FNMTV. that show kicks ass. Pete Wentz is the host and he's surprisingly not annoying. i've only seen it a few times since i don't really have time to enjoy anything on tv anymore, but one episode that really stood out was one that featured She & Him and their music video for "Why Do You Let Me Stay Here?", and they had some rapper give his opinion on it. and he said that he liked the fake blood. it was so cool! i love the mixing of genres and the acknowledgment of music outside of pop. check it.

some final thoughts since i feel as though i am rambling:

i hate keira knightley. can she do anything besides a period piece?

getting a new Nylon in the mail is the most exciting way to pre-start a month.
