Wow so much has changed on xanga.  i don't think i like the requirement of having a theme. but oh well. here's a little blog about one of the best nights ever!

My first Matthew Good concert!! (finally!)  Friday, March 7th at Tractor Tavern.  With opener Courtney Jones.  But here's an excerpt from his blog:

Last night was fun though, despite my whining above. For those interested in the set list, it was as follows:

I Am Not Safer Than A Bank
Champions Of Nothing
Avalanche
Born Losers
A Silent Army In The Trees
Black Helicopter
She’s In It For The Money
Load Me Up
Strange Days
Metal Airplanes
I’m A Window
99% Of Us Is Failure
Tripoli
Apparitions

Encore
Suburbia
Pledge Of Allegiance
True Love Will Find You In The End

Somewhere in there was also an impromptu version of The Future Is X-Rated, the chorus of which the crowd gladly sung for me.

To be honest, given the type of venue, the show was a little long. It’s a lot different than playing theatres so I’ll probably cut it back a bit.

college is almost over. it's a very scary fact that i haven't quite realized yet. but i still have one more paper and a few more tests before it's done with. undergrad at least... but i'm excited and scared. i'll just wait and see what happens.

nothing really exciting to report. lots of new music news that's super exciting in terms of new cds coming out this summer and new songs streaming and stuff. haha. yup. i'm going to a concert next week if anyone has heard of the audition, my american heart, new atlantic, 1997 or bobby darling. just let me know.

oh, i remember. my computer died. my laptop. it has issues where it'll start up and then it'll load and such but then the windows bar on the bottom freezes up a little while after. so i switched computer use. but actually it's doing better. i'm scared to make it do too much at a time, but i've been burning off songs and files. but now one big file is stuck on the "to burn" list when i have cds as a folder and i'm not sure what to do now. it won't delete off the "to burn" cue (queue??). anyway, that's been a bummer, but oh well.

the weather has been so nice. i want to go to the beach sometime. maybe after finals. anyone up for it? :D

i'm sick :( just a cough that's gotten worse. i am now coughing like every 2 minutes or so, but it gets this frequent more towards the end of the day. yeah. not so fun. but it's like a dry cough so not too bad. hopefully it passes soon. today was much better than yesterday though! i haven't been really sick for quite some time, so i'm ok with it. hehe.

my TFA interview went ok last week. not as great as i would have hoped, but i'm really ok with whatever the decision is going to be. life will go on. it's scary though, that i could potentially be packing up and moving in less than 2 months...

i went to a couple concerts since i wrote last. anberlin and mew. both times, someone backed out and i had an extra ticket. kinda frustrating, but i've decided to never buy a ticket for someone else ever again. ever. sorry, but as much as i love supporting the bands, i don't have that kind of money. i just bought used copies of most of the collection of one of my favorite singers. he streamed a new song online and i seriously sat there and put it on replay for the whole night. then the next day it was taken off. it was up for less than 24 hours, and it is still stuck in my head! sooo good. i'm going to go see one of his shows even if i have to fly/drive to canada to do so...!

ok, well this quarter is going all right. nothing too exciting. it'll be pretty fun on the whole i think, though. it's interesting in a very different way than my past classes have been.

that's all for now. i need to get some sleep and try to fight this cough.
