buckets of sleep, buckets of backaches

i've been having shitloads of fun up here in kent for the last few days. however, we started off with a marathon frisbee session the first night (more on that later) and my legs and spine haven't really recovered yet (as a result, most likely, of sleeping on a couch smaller than i am). i'm trying to work up some urban exploration story for the second half of my BB prompt way back when (though you'll see i've caught myself up on the other ones), and hopefully i'll post that tonight.

still having a hell of a time picking anything good out of that music video thing i made.

also would like to write a bit about what i've been up to lately, but i'm headed out shortly for dinner with some people.

i think i blew out my blog engine the other day with that 11-post day. also, it's harder to blog when you actually have real people to hang out with instead.

i'm really, really diggin' regina spektor's "soviet kitsch" and "begin to hope". been listening to some shins too, but it hasn't really grabbed me yet. mason's and trey's new albums are both excellent. i'll try to do proper reviews on them later this week.

saw prince caspian last night with andrea and bowes. it was a decent sequel. maybe more thoughts on that later, too. the internet gets crazy when you haven't been on it for awhile.

has anyone ever been to the wamu theatre in seattle? i'm thinking of seeing either the raconteurs or the cardinals/oasis there in the fall and i'm wondering if it's a shitty venue (the fact that it's called the wamu theatre already partially answers this question). i'm just a little worried by the idea of driving 5 hours each way and paying at least 50 bucks for a ticket to see the cardinals play for (likely) 45 minutes or so and then have oasis totally suck (which they have appeared to do since about 1996). at the same time, ryan on stage with oasis would be awesome. but probably not worth it. i'm more amenable to seeing the raconteurs, but they usually also play pretty short shows (a little over an hour) and though the kills are opening for them, i don't know how i feel about the kills. anybody have any kills-input?

OH MY GOD MY LIFE IS SO HARD!!
