Isa just telling Alon that it currently feels like Wednesday night - not Tuesday morning. Midnights! Screwy!
I’ve talked about last fm up and down the wall a million and thrice times - it tracks the music you listen to each week and then suggests artists you might like based on what you listen to - and compares your taste with friends. My charts this week:
So. Apparently. I LOVE sufjan. …I don’t know how anyone can listen to over 650 songs by one artist in one week. It’s ridiculous. But really, last.fm also takes what I listen to on my iPod onto account - and I listen to Sufjan to and from work everyday, and usually fall asleep listening to him, and my alarm (which is an iPod clock, so my alarm = my iPod) is Chicago, by him… So… I guess I sort of see how it can add up pretty quickly. But I am confused as to why the rest of the artists are so low. Usually my top 10 are all up in 30s or 40s. I guess this was just a very thick Sufjan week.
Also - I was going to get a tattoo as a birthday present to myself - but I really want to get it done with a particular artist, and she’s booked up for months and months and months. So I’ve got an appointment with her to design the tat but it won’t get done for a long while. …Instead, I’ve decided that when I go to get it designed I’m going to get a new piercing.
The anti-eyebrow. Now. There is a *very* good chance that this could look really silly on me, but it’s a chance I’m willing to take - because I’ve liked it for soooo long. Really the only thing that stopped me was the thought of my mom ripping it out of my face. But. That’s also a chance I’m willing to take at this point in life.
And in other totally unrelated an irrelevant news…. yesterday my friend D.QT* came over because he needed to borrow my camera and give me a hug and he told me that my other friend Spizzle* joined the army. … WTF?! Joined the army! He was in the Netherlands or some shit for like 8 months and then came back and right away joined the army. SO WEIRD. (*obviously not their real names…) I guess there is too much damage to be done being in the Canadian Army, but really - it’s still fucked up.
Also - sort of related… I was sort of unaware of this until a little while ago - but Americans think that all our police are mounties. …I just want to clear this up - they are. And they all ride horses. And there’s only about 400 of them for all of Canada.
Happy Tuesday Everyone!






Question: how can I get a Mountie for my ipod?
Ok, so I joined last.fm and all the “recently listened” tracks are…Sufjan. It was an accident! But it feels so creepy.
Nadine: just call up canada - they give a mountie to anyone who asks for one. even if you’re not in canada… with the vast number of them (400) most of them sit around and do nothing so there should be a one or four available for you.
I think having all sufjan songs is nothing to be feeling creepy over. its something to stand tall and proud about.
Well, I happened upon your blog, and once I saw this lovely last.fm screen shot, I feel that it would be a crime not to subscribe. You have the best taste in music ever. And in political issues. The end.
Mountie’s are also exactly like Paul Gross in Due South.
