Pink Emergency!
Oh man, I almost herniated with glee today when A Probable Gang member drove me home, and we passed Mingus Tourette's Pink Ambulance! And he was driving it! I wanted to ask PGM if we could turn around, but sadly, things to do (both of us) and people to see, and overlords to satiate. In retrospect though, it was sort of embarrassing because I was very excitable: "..so I was thinking about how we could do some installation--OH MY GOD, DID YOU SEE THAT??!!" And it was right by my house too. But yeah, when my mom does her little apprehensive gasps when I'm driving, it drives me crazy, so I'm glad that PGM handled the outburst well and my flustering didn't get us killed.
In other news, I finished the gawping paper of doom this morning at around five-thirty to sixish. I was actually quite impressed, because I usually don't have time for sleep or (even more disgustingly) a shower. But two and a half glorious hours of sleep later...I still feel like a human being at three thirty. Even more fucked up-- I enjoyed writing the paper. A lot. And to top it off, we had to give a little spiel of what our papers were about in class, and though mine sucked because I was a little less then alert, one of my more intelligent classmates told about his, and he wrote on the exact same stuff as I did, which of course was a mild injection of comfort to know I was afterall on the right track.
On a whim, I've been unearthing any suggestions for music that I've stumbled across lately. "A Cautionary Song" by the Decemberists is one of them, and a highly disturbing song on top of that. But good moral and sort of hard to not listen to. I've also gotten some Tech n9ne on a recommendation, as well as Andre Nickatina- so...I'll let you know how that goes. Word to the wise though: Arcade Fire is not to be underestimated in awesomeness. I should probably link this or something, but I'm too lazy.
