except I'm not quite home yet. I'm sure you've heard about the big snowstorm on the East Coast. I came here Friday morning thinking "YES. I am finally going to see my cat, mom, dad, and sister and have my own room again and eat good food and just not be stressed out. AT ALL." Boy, was I wrong. I learn upon checking in my connecting flight from Denver to Baltimore has been canceled. There goes my $32 shuttle fare! Ugh. So I hitch a bus back to Tacoma and go back home to my house on campus. I'm rescheduled for a flight from here to LAX, and from LAX to D.C. the following night, so I figure I better leave it or take it.
Well, here I am at the airport again, and that LAX to D.C. flight has been canceled. Oh man. The weather is baad. There goes my $15 taxi fare... again. I basically spent an entire shift at work at the alumni calling place on fare to the airport.
Sorry. I'm frustrated, if you can't tell. But anyhow! I've happened upon some lovely music that I couldn't help but share-- you may have heard of Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeroes. Pretty rad.
This is the kind of music I'd expect Eli Cash from "The Royal Tenenbaums" to listen to while he was hopped up on mescaline.
Well... wildcat was written in a kind of obsolete vernacular... [long pause] ...wildcat... wild... cat... [he stares into space] ... pow... wildcat... I'm going to go.
Enjoy. And check out Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zero's newest album, "Up From Below." Some of my favorite tracks (notice I said favorite, not good-- they're all good!): Home, Carries On, Jade, Simplest Love.
I'm off to a friend's house in Olympia for tonight, then hopefully I'll be catching an early flight (as in, I have to be here at 5:30 AM) direct to D.C. Cross your fingers for me!
