last week i went to visit some relations in queens along with my mam (who was also visiting nyc) and i took the 7 train out. passed by my old apartment and all the things i remembered from when i lived there. i found an essay this morning all about ones mans impressions of the trainline - “monday musing: 7 train“. really nicely written.
this made me laugh… overwriting a file today didnt. ive got one of those annoying dry coughs at the moment and tomorrow i have to spend 8 hours in a room that is the epitome of “sick building room syndrome” - 30 computers and hardly any airconditioning. then im leaving college just after class starts so i can go to uiah to check out the casey reas and marius watz talk. (update: boo, cant make it to the talk - too much work to do)
“special” by mew is a really good song. mtv yet again provides me with good music. cheers!
the first season of the finnish travel show, madventures, which involves cannibals, self mutilation and eating bizarre things went on sale yesterday on dvd. but no english subtitles! booo!
i just set up another blog, this is no 23 i think. its a listing of recently released sigur rós concerts - ones that we put on our dc++/ftp/bit torrent sites and are spotted on other sites. drrnwbb.com/bt/log/
i got back this morning after a fantastic week. got to see three great concerts, got into a taping of conan o brien on tuesday (it was broadcast here in finland last friday), met up with lots of friends, got very little sleep, enjoyed the hot hot hot weather, drank lots of poland spring, didnt spend too much money, got an sas frequent flyer card, watched “madagascar”, got charged 25€ for receiving text messages (i think), saw the cats again, ate some fancy noodles and i sat in two amazing venues and wished for a proper camera.
just remembered: bought lots of magazines in that place on broadway, got season 1 of samurai jack on dvd and we got interviewed for the new york times whilst waiting for conan!
update: some pictures on flickr [2005.09 nyc + boston].
