THE KIDS

In fairness, this should be a dual post, w. two contributors

Two blips convened in the midatlantic state of NJ last night, where Courtney and I found the Jersey version of us kids.

We met these kids from the College of NJ through her high school peeps. These kids, they were clever and funny just like us.

I was kind of glad to see us, in a different kind of context, and to realize that there are usses all across the country.

Cos dude, we're pretty fucking awesome.

SPRING

Spring is one of my favorite concepts.

Right now it is based on my love for a few things (LIST VERSION AVEC BULLETS):

- Girlier new haircut
- Looking at my green hi top Chucks
- Peter Bjorn and John's "Young Folks"
- Running around in fields
- Catch
- Geneseo in top form
- Brunch w. mimosas, poached eggs, and COURTNEY

In spite of Nor'easters, I am excited. In anticipation of, I've already revved up a mix. I still enjoy mixes, or PLAYLISTS as we the ipod generation will now call them. I think this one has a good swell to it.

Brian Jonestown Massacre - "Whoever you are"
Albert Hammond Jr - "In Transit"
Peter, Bjorn, and John- "Young Folks"
Belle and Sebastian - "Women's Realm"
Sufjan Stevens - "Chicago"
Ted Leo Rx - "Me and Mia"
The Thermals - "Pillar of Salt"
Neutral Milk Hotel - "Holland 1945"
Ambulance LTD - "Heavy Lifting"
The Cure - "Friday I'm in love"

Now here's one. Justifiably, I've played out Pillar of Salt and Me and Mia. I'm not sure they fit my SPRING vibe. If you can find a decent substition, I will cement it into the mixlist.

THANKS

s'pose i should start practicing saying "y'all" now

So I got an internship in Mobile, Alabama and will be moving there for the summer. It'll be nice to be up an' moving again, and to go South for the first time in about 6 years or so. The planning for this thing was a lil' spontaneous (e.g. the last-second decision to catch a bus from ohio and make a several-stop trip out of the deal rather than flying or driving straigiht down) but only a lil'. I've got a long way to go before i'm hopping around the country lone ranger style, all unpredictable and mysterious-like. Anyway, I'll get to see some of the family for a few days, then spend 2 weeks in New Orleans, before getting settled in Mobile. Hopefully it'll be a good trip.
Looks like I'll be making a stop in Rochester (maybe Geneseo, depending on time constraints) eithier Wednesday thru Friday or just Friday right before 'Stine and I blow out of town. I won't have a car of my own so a) mobility will be limited (i.e. visits may have to be very planned and may include lots of other-people-coming-to-me!) and b) poor 'Stine is gonna be stuck with me for a loooooong time! I'll try to make it up to her-bake her some bread or something. I dunno.
That's all that's new with me right now, but updates to come. Hope to see you all sometime.

Take a Letter!

Dear Geneseo,

I think it might be time for one last go around, while kids still live in town. Let me know when you are habitable (read: when winter has calmed down enough so that it doesn't blow angry in my face) so that i can come visit again.

Unfortunately, and in an unfortunately adult way, i will have to negotiate this trip around workin' on the weekend, which has been happening too often lately. And Dear Geneseo, let me know if you want me back.


Love,

Angela
