an artist you cannot miss
I know that there’s already a link to Anthony Goicolea's website on this blog, but I still feel that I need to express my feelings on Goicolea’s work. I cannot stress how amazing his photographs are: they are mysterious, erotic, and playful. I’m absolutely in love with his work! Please go check out his website, it’ll change your life!The photograph on the left is entitled Midnight Kiss, one of many breathtaking pieces from Goicolea's Kidnap Series.
the weather man lied to me
So yea, I was expecting it to be -7 today because Pulse 24 said so. Well, I just got back from school and it was so gorgeous out!! WTF, I wore like six goddamn layers of clothing for nothing... it was so uncomfortable! Plus, my body looked so puffy because of all those extra layers, I felt like Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man from Ghostbusters! I looked ridiculous!!
lyrics of the moment... Feb 7, 2006, aka it looks really cold out and i don't want to go to school!
This harbour town
I listen to its wind as a choir
The shipping forecast
Is crackling
Like wet wood upon a fire
And time slows and slips away
The tourists come around in May
'Till August when the clouds roll in
The pier cracks, the awnings fade
The Ferris wheel spins slowly in the rain,
The day is gone.
Under this weather
Under this weather
Such shadows are blossoming
Out at sea
I am not going to set myself free here
I am following some dark fortune
Some circle in me
Hold back the wind
Hold back the rain
I want to live
To see good weather
Hold back the years
Hold back the hours
I want to live
To see the sun break through
These days
Under this weather
Under this weather
Such shadows are blossoming
In me

i love this... probably the best answer ever!
Owen Pallett of Final Fantasy describes his music:
Q: How would you describe your music?
Owen Pallett: Well... I'd describe my music as being like the feeling you get when you meet your boyfriend's parents for the first time. And you're white and they're Asian. So you're really happy to be meeting the parents of the boy you love. But you're also on your best behaviour, you don't want to seem like a racist "white devil" or anything. So you're doing your best to not say anything insensitive or presumptuous. Then you realize that your caution is itself pretty presumptuous, and you're probably looking really distant and disinterested. So you're super happy, but also delicately trying to walk that line between being too comfortable and being too detached. That's how I'd best describe what I do.
