Yet another long interim, though I've been doing lots of fun things! Saw D'Angelo and Gary Clark Jr. for free with Dan, James, Bella, Thuto and more. Great show, it rained during Gary Clark Jr.'s set but it made his whirlwind music even more spectacular. I've bee doing more museum trips with Anna, hanging out with Abby, and watching the Women's World Cup. England just lost to Japan in the semifinal on an own goal, it was a heartbreaker. I watched it in a bar around the corner with young black people and an old black man. A Japanese guy walked in during the second half as well. I watched the USA-Germany semifinal's second half there last night, watched the first half in a bar called Tyre? in the lower East Side near Fulton St. It was an old bar my grandpa would like, the kind of bar you'd get stabbed by an old stock broker in. It's been an eye opener and I don't want to spend too much time in bars. Or at least those kinds of bars. More job applications, some interviews, hopefully I hear back from WNYC tomorrow. I've been playing lots of bass, I'm trying to buy a piano, I bought guitar strings for the old beat up acoustic I got for free in Brooklyn at 285 Kent.
Air conditioners are splendid. I finally paid off the one I had on lending from the girl who previously lived here. I'll try not to use it to much.
I'm most of the way through Modern Romance by Aziz Ansari, I finished The Coloring Book by Colin Quinn a few weeks back. I'm reading full books more often than I did in college, it's a nice feeling. It's also easier to read comedy book than metaphysics papers.
Secret Wars #4 came out today, it was cool! It's been a great run so far, I wish it came out more regularly, which means it's a good book.
Off to listen to some new James Blake and other recommendations from Zack, who has been staying here and visiting NY for the week. Good times all around.
Moonlight Feels Right, Starbuck.

I think I've posted that already, so here also is the OST to Whiplash.
