2010 So Far.
saw the Drive-By Truckers
and Jonathan Richman
Mardi Gras was AMAAAZING!
my listening habits have been very boring. soley consisting of lots & lots of Elvis Costello (shocker), Tom Petty's Full Moon Fever, Magnetic Fields (the new one Realism and old stuff), Outrageous Cherry, & The Go-Betweens.
one interesting discovery- the 1980's Irish band Stars of Heaven.
and i've just started obsessing over Lou Reed & John Cale's Songs For Drella...
i've seen lots of movies:
Human Nature (I LOVE Patricia Arquette)
and The Lover
and Happy Go Lucky, An Education, & Water Lillies. apparently Netflix thinks i am into "Foreign Sexual Awakening" films.
i keep seeing James Urbaniak in every tv show i watch. hottest guy ever?

Old Year/New Year
2008 was pretty sweet. the last day of it & the first day of 2009 were spent in Athens, Ga. we saw Of Montreal. they rubbed blood on us & played a full set of covers, highlights being "Smells Like Teen Spirit," "American Girl" by Tom Petty, and the Buzzcocks' "Ever Fallen In Love With Someone You Shouldn't've Fallen In Love With." it ruled, a lot.
E & i post-champagne, pre-Of Montreal:
broken glass: new year's eve aftermath
playing guitar with an extra hand
so anyway, that was 2008. goodbye, year.
now i have some predictions for 2009. what you can look forward to:
COOL PLACES- Savannah, Ga; Memphis, Tn; Oxford, Ms; Gainesville, Fl
COOL VENUE- The Bottle Tree in Birmingham, Al
LEGENDARY BANDS THAT WILL BE COOL TO BE INFLUENCED BY- Tall Dwarfs (and all other New Zealand/Flying Nun people like The Clean, The Chills, The 3Ds, The Bats, etc.), Pavement, Guided By Voices, original Elephant 6 stuff, R.E.M.'s first two albums
FOOD PEOPLE ARE GOING TO LIKE TO EAT- french fries (humble, yet easy to personalize & make more fancy; also, cool in a kitschy and also ironic, these-are-bad-for-me-but-i-don't-care kind of way)
COOL ART TO DO- Bookbinding
COOL ACTIVITY- categorizing all your favorite things in life into structured lists
DRUGS THAT WILL BE IN VOGUE- over the counter medications and the trusty, always readily available alcohol (especial hard liquor and cheap champagne)
COOL THINGS TO WEAR- glasses (preferably ones that make you look like Woody Allen), 80's-ish lace up ankle boots, sunglasses indoors, cropped t-shirts, t-shirts that are too big for you, things that are grey
SOCIAL-Y WEBSITE PEOPLE WILL GET EXCITED ABOUT- Yelp (see mine here! camillaaa.yelp.com)
COOL JOB- not actually having a job but finding creative ways to have enough money to live (i.e. selling cd's & lp's to your local independent record store, selling any items really on Ebay, getting your tax return back, spending your savings, having a birthday/graduating from high school or college or grad school/celebrating a holiday, making bets with people you know you'll win, etc.)
PHILOSOPHY/OUTLOOK FOR THE YEAR- no nostalgia; being more excited about right now & the future than the past, not romanticising the past, not basing new experiences on old ones, making new friends, doing new things, memory loss.
