I just finished reading After Dark by Haruki Murakami. It got better toward the end but I was honestly a little bit disappointed. It might be wrong/incongruous to compare it to Sputnik Sweetheart, but between the two, I definitely love Sputnik Sweetheart so much more—I feel like it was more well-written and personally poignant. Anyway.
Now I am going to eat tuna with crackers while reading 1984.
I am tempted to rip out a page from my library book: After Dark by Haruki Murakami. It’s a page that’s not actually part of the story. It’s a page called, “A Note About The Type,” which is exactly what is sounds like—a note about what type/font the book was set in. I am really, really tempted to rip out this little inconsequential page. Nobody would be missing anything from the storyline.
I should go to bed. But I really don’t feel like it.

Give this a listen if you’re a fan of acoustics/quiet vibes. I saw and photographed the making of this song when it was in the studio, NBD.
Anna Calvi- Love Won’t Be Leaving
I will be seeing her at Laneway in Sydney and can’t wait. She is so awesome. She is an amazing guitarist who could probably blow some of the guitarists around today out of the water.With an awesome voice which is hauntingly beautiful showing much more emotion than a lot of singers these days. Not to mention she is absolutely gorgeous and cool. Her eyes are absolutely piercing!
What would have happened to me if my blue-collar, immigrant parents had balked when I said I wanted to go to Northwestern University, a hugely expensive school, to study journalism? Even then, it was a poor-paying dinosaur of an industry.
By the Georgetown calculus, my parents made a bad decision. When my first job out of school paid me less than what a year’s tuition cost, that calculus seemed all but confirmed.
I am now 25 years into my career, working at one of the leading media companies in the country and making more money that I ever would have imagined I would. To what do I attribute that success? I love what I do.
"“College majors and their income potential” by Tracy Grant for The Washington Post
I’m considering e-mailing this to my dad or printing it out or even buying the freaking paper just to show my mom, but I don’t know if they would understand what I’m trying to say.

Nylon’s Extra Strong spread in the February 2012 issue.
Why the fuck does it seem that every time my Nylon subscription expires (and I decide not to renew it), an appealing editorial gets published?
The Maccabees - Pelican
I love the cinematography/concept of the music video. It’s very fascinating.
