In the land of ash...

Music: Yesterday- The Beatles, Idiotheque- Calico Horse (cover), When you love somebody- Fruit Bats...I'm listening to nearly everything on my new playlist above, check it out.

I decided to take this Saturday night to spend time alone with The O.C. re-runs, Hagen Daaz coffee ice cream (my vice), and my keyboard. I actually find it quite nice to be doing nothing tonight, as I have been running low on sleep the past week. After returning from an overnight trip to Ashland, I'm looking forward to 12 hours of sleep, which I haven't had in weeks. This summer weather is helping me make believe that it's nearly summer. It's about that time of the year where the closeness of summer is the only thing keeping me from an outburst of rage in that claustrophobic portable during algebra. However, the weeks are getting slimmer and I have nice little distractions along the way such as, my trip to Ashland. During the trip we saw three plays, found some rad dinosaur t-shirts, ate...too much, and layed by the creek soaking up the sun. One play that really stuck with me was Tennessee William's Cat On A Hot Tin Roof, it was a captivating play about sex, lies, and a dysfunctional family. I was really enticed by the theme of old southern money in the 1950's and the luxurious characters that fit into the story, especially the character Maggie. Above you can see an image from an older film version and below are a few photos from Ashland.

With Love,
