Terrible/Fine

| No Comments
So tomorrow is the start of the (theoretical) whirlwind two-day shoot for my final video project. I'm sure I'll have a good time doing it, but as usual thinking about it is making me jumpy and tense. Today I've been swinging back and forth between feeling terrible, headachey, nauseous, tired, etc. and feeling perfectly fine and cheerful. This is probably the last major stress hurdle of the year for me, though. Unless, of course, I have some sort of unforeseeable internship- or housing-related ordeal.

ANYWAY.

The Gargoyle Centennial issue is done and printed and looks nice. I secretly believe it's a terrible issue, but that's what I thought about all the other ones this year, and people seem to like them well enough. It's about as dirty as the previous issue was clean, which makes for an interesting contrast.

I've been starting to listen to The Decemberists over the past week, a band I've been aware of for a while, but whose music I was never really compelled to investigate. I guess I expected them to be kind of whiny and generic, but I was pleasantly surprised. Their recently released rock opera, "The Hazards of Love" is really interesting, varied, and unique. I'm now working my way backward through their discography and having a lot of fun. If you haven't listened to them yet, go for it.
