Currently, I am in the process of taking pictures of all the funny stuff around my office, and all the artsy stuff around my house that is hard to realize apart from feeling artistically inspired to notice (whew. trying saying that five times fast). I will finally update my photojournal this week, I promise.
I'm also in the process of disliking myself because I spend too much money. I do so because a lot of my life depends on being artistically inspired, and this involves the purchasing of spectacular films and music- such as Darjeeling Limited, Xavier Rudd's White Moth album, and Waking Ned Devine, none of which I could find on sale yesterday.
In reality, all I bought this weekend was a fantastic book called "Jamie at Home". Its a book about a chef who grows food in his backyard and cooks a lot, with a lot of beautiful photography and artwork. Buying this was not a poor choice, necessarily.
To make a long story short, I am not being honest with myself. I feel bad about money because I do not keep myself organized. That is the truth.
In other news, I really like the new Sarah Mclachlan record, but I am too cheap to actually pick it up. The initial concensus regarding the new Death Cab for Cutie album, that my friends and I share, is that it kind of sucks. But I think it is one of those albums you dislike for a long time, then all of a sudden love like crazy- like every album that Wilco and the Arcade Fire have put out. "Narrow Stairs" reminds of of Death Cab's older stuff- more rocky, less overtly artsy... i could be wrong. Please argue with me.
I am still a huge fan of Xavier Rudd, although I can't find his stuff anywhere. And I am loving everything by The Album Leaf right now, but the same problem presents itself. alas.
In other other news, the new Coldplay comes out next month. Really excited to hear this one, I won't lie. Violet Hill, I think, is one of their best songs to date... or to listen to on a date. But I have no idea what that is like.
Case in point: I still have yet to hold hands with a girl, since publishing this entry. Alas alas. One of these days.
I have a lot of music to catch up on. Later.

I hear you about the money situation adam. I find the I overly spend on things like coffee, beer, and trips to victoria... but I also find these things quite enjoyable. I think it espically sucks right now because I'm worried about making enough money to pay rent, let alone save for school in the fall, and then I beat myself up when I go out for coffee.
Anyways, in other news... I also can not get into Narrow Stairs... it lacks anything that would make me enjoy it I find. It's not that it's bad... it's just kind of bland. And too pop-y.
Whatev...
Let's hang out when I get back. Sunday?
