Hey internet, I’m going on a cruise. My ma booked it for my 21st/my brother’s graduation/Dad and her needing a holiday (they totally deserve it, they both work super hard, plus it’s been a rough year for all of us), and although I’ve never expressed any interest in visiting any of these locations, it should be pretty sweet. Holidays is holidays. Also, fun fact, I’ve never been overseas. I only just got my passport this week. So that’s cool.
Anyway, we’re leaving in about an hour to drive for eight hours then hop on that big boat and hang out for a week. Should be fun. See you in a week I guess.
LCD Soundsystem - Home
When you’re particularly miserable, it feels like every song was written about you.
I can’t listen to This Is Happening anymore. I’m okay with that because Sound of Silver is my favourite, and because I know I’ll be able to listen to it again one day and when that time comes it’ll sound better than ever, but for now it’s too painful. It brings Toy Story 3 tears.
Let’s pretend for a moment that there are two LCD Soundsystem albums: Sound of Silver and This Is Happening (sorry LCD Soundsystem, you know I love you). One of them was recorded in New York, the other was recorded in LA. One of them was written when James Murphy was comfortable and out to prove a point, the other was written when he was weary and ready to settle down. One of them is about being at home, the other is about longing for home.
I’ve been pretty hung up on “home” for a while now. I feel like it’s the most important thing in the world, and I feel like I just can’t find it. The place of my birth doesn’t feel like home. The town I grew up in, the place where my parents live, hasn’t felt like home in a very long time. I guess Brisbane is the closest place to home, but I was only there for three years, so I don’t know if it’s valid.
But at the same time, home isn’t a physical location. I mean, that’s a big part of it, but sometimes it’s other things as well. Sometimes it’s a particular person.
I just want to go home.
SO CUTE.
- Anthony: What size shoe are you?
- Chris: Ten.
- Anthony: Pussy, I'm a twelve. Don't worry though, it's not proportional. My feet are a size twelve, but elsewhere I'm more of a six.
- Chris: A three?
- Anthony: It doesn't even have shoes.
Oh Tumblr.
I cannot wait until Machete. (via doubleyoudoubleyoudoubleyou)
Neither. I need a box set/limited edition/something fancy version of Grindhouse. I love it. My Grindhouse poster is taking pride of place on the wall when I move, along with Feist and Cut Copy signs. They might even get a wall each, as my wallspace will be doubling.
I left this next to her door when she was out.
I have a giant Cut Copy sign and Blair and Carmen don’t.
Nicole's on fire.
- Anthony: Anyway, it was only for two minutes, but fuck, it was annoying.
- Nicole: You just said buttfuck!
- LATER
- Anthony: So yeah, she wants to move back in.
- Sam: I will stand out the front of the house and beat her off with a cricket bat if she tries to move in.
- Nicole: Did you just say 'beat her off'?
