Today, I moved some stuff back home.  I'm now without a chair or table, but I have a guitar, bass and keyboard still so it's all good.  I'll try to record something new tomorrow, because jeez, I need to.  I'm also hosting a few friends from RI, as well as possibly seeing Reefer Madness for the first time, so that should be interesting.

Today's song:  Here's another one that I'd like to capture the sound/energy of in my work.

The Pillows - Sleepy Head

Today's thing:  If you guessed "lyrics," you guessed right.

I saw Scott Pilgrim for the fifth time tonight with my parents.  There were about 30 people in the theater, despite it having just been released.  It's a shame that it's not making more money, but I have to say, I'd rather have directed something that brilliant and made a disappointing amount of money than have made just another average-yet-successful blockbuster.

Today's song:  Yet another awesome song from the Scott Pilgrim soundtrack.

Blood Red Shoes - It's Getting Boring By the Sea

Today's thing:  A line or two of lyrics, an idea or two for summer project footage, dinner and a movie with my parents and a bonfire with old friends.

With each day lived in the city, I feel more and more like the world is my oyster.  Yet, with each day closer to leaving, I feel more and more like I'm missing out on all the things I haven't gotten the opportunity to do.  Not much to write today aside from that.

Today's song:  I ran across this today, as I'd been thinking about the movie that it's from.  While watching it, it occurred to me that I want to play music this raw and energetic.

Billy Nayer Show - Love Smiles

Today's thing:  Some more lyrics.

With the end of the summer coming up, I'm forced to rethink all my goals and figure out which ones I can complete before I leave Boston.  Yikes.

Today's song:  I'm seeing these guys tomorrow.  Again, a friend has a spare ticket.

Tears for Fears - Everybody Wants to Rule the World

Today's thing:  I taught my class, as usual.  We edited the music video we shot in class last week.  Sadly, we had to use Windows Movie Maker, which is a terrible program, but we at least have a finished product.

Class Music Video 2010

Tonight, I rode around the city on a bicycle.  It was amazing, and made me wonder why the hell I didn't bring MY bike with me this summer.

Today's song:  Someone told me I should get some The Cure, so I did.

 The Cure - Friday I'm In Love

Today's thing:  Took a couple of shots for the summer project, worked on Anime Boston costume stuff and practiced the guitar.

So, I'm outside the movie theater after seeing Scott Pilgrim.  It's 2:30 AM or so and I'm talking to some friends when this dude comes up, tries the locked doors and asks if we work at the theater.  We say "no," and he explains that there's supposed to be a meteor shower that night, but he can't see it.

"So... why are you trying to get into the theater?"  I ask, kind of stupidly.

"Well, I'm on shrooms," he explains,"so I want to watch SOMETHING."

Which makes sense.  My friends and I nod and decide to move on.  As we leave, I say "Well, I wish you the best of luck finding something cool to watch."  The guy apparently takes it as some kind of insult.

Accusingly, he asks "You haven't ever done shrooms, have you?"

Walking away, I try to respond in as un-judging a manner as I can.  "No," I say, "But who knows what the future holds."

"YOU'LL NEVER DO SHROOMS!"  He yells after my friends and I as we round the nearest corner and proceed to crack up.

"Shit, dude, I think you made him mad..."  One of my friends says.  Sure enough, as we continue to get the hell out, the guy comes to the corner and stands there yelling after us.

"HEY!  HEY, WHAT IF I GET A SHIRT... THAT SAYS... 'HIPSTERS ARE PUSSIES,' WHAT ABOUT THAT, HUH?"

The friend keeps yelling "Hamsters?" back at him as we get further and further away.  Finally, Senor Shrooms gets fed up at our feigned confusion and walks off down another street, grumbling about hipsters and pussies as he fades off into the night.

Today's song:  Here's to you, Senor Shrooms.

The Lonely Island - Shrooms (Interlude)

Today's thing:  Played some music, wrote a few more lyrics, hope to record vocals for Stage Fright City soon, wrote a bit of unrelated script.

Tonight at midnight, Scott Pilgrim vs. The World officially comes out.  Despite having seen it three times already, it looks like I'm seeing it again with some friends.  While I don't remember the last time I saw a movie even twice in theaters, I'm looking forward to seeing this a fourth time.  It's THAT good.

Like I talked about yesterday, though, I'm taking a long walk first.  My goal is to see something new today.

Today's song:  I'm a fan of Bowie and I'm in the mood for this song.

David Bowie - Sound and Vision

Today's thing:  Some more lyrics for that Stage Fright City song I'm working on.  I'm getting sort of close to finishing it up - I aim to ponder/polish it more while on my walk.
