Why get on a plane for ten hours to go to Portland when a little chunk of it is just a ten minute walk away? For some random reason, the Decembrists are playing a show next month not just in Southampton, but on campus in the student union. Needless to say, I've gotten tickets and convinced a couple locals that its a good idea as well, because only good things come out of good ol' P-town. Or something along those lines.
Speaking of next month, there is quite a bit of excitement around here for its arrival. The general expectation is that, as it will be the first month of the new semester, there will be a nice grace period before the coursework starts to flow like water, so February is going to be a fun month. There are technically two assignements due the first week of the 2nd semester, but once those are in, its Decembrists, then first visitors (Kelly!!! MA!!!) for a weekend, and the weekend after that will be my first European style mini-break to Amsterdam for a weekend. After that I will most likely have some sort of minor freakout about homework and lock myself back into the library, but only for a couple weeks because then its Easter break and more travels and more visitors.
Facebook count is up to 15, but there have been no more man capris (although there was a close call with some board shorts yesterday), and no more cracks (but numerous close calls there as well).

what do we think of that newest decemberists cd? the jury is still out for me.
its so lame that i just made a jury reference.
I haven't been to a concert or America for ages. I'm killing two birds with one stone...
i think the decemberists get better with multiple listenings - it is now one of those cds i must listen to once a day. but at first i was a little disappointed. have fun at the concert!
