it's a new day

the Punch Brothers have recently taken over my music. all of it.
at least that's what it feels like.
i got a few of their albums a few weeks ago and it's pretty much all i've listened to.
i love the virtuosity of it, the intentionality of every note and every phrase Chris spits at the microphone.
and the layers and layers and layers.

here's a sample:

it's not everyone's cup of tea, but give it a try.

my life has been long recently.
a lot of reading. a lot of staying up unnecessarily late.
this past week of school felt like forever. not for any particular reason, just cause it felt like dragging out till next november.
i found out that i have been accepted for LA Term next fall which means that i'll be attending school downtown and living in a home stay and taking the subway to class. in my brain i keep picturing an extended version of the exploring we did in the cities of Europe which is enormously romanticized, but there is something exciting and adventuresome about having a new city to learn and make your own.
