Roughin' It (Not Really Though)

   Hi! So I've been far too lazy and far too CHEAP to get internet all set-up in my new little place. That shit's expensive.. the price of modern living ain't cheap. The original game plan was to hold out as long as possible and just bum internet from various coffee shops for as long as I possibly could, but upon attending all my lectures, the majority of my profs have chosen to just post online readings for the course as opposed to assigning a textbook to purchase. Which rules because textbooks are significantly more costly than monthly internet, but it also stinks because I kind of hate reading off of a screen for long amounts of time.. I like the feeling of physically holding the book in my hands and being able to highlight and scratch notes here and there. Aw welly. I should have internet up & running within the next week or two.

   But in the meantime, here's what I've been up to; I've been socializing more in the past week than I did all summer combined (four whole months). Which is awesome but it's left me a little bit on the sleepy side - what else is new. Last night I went to Folk Fest with my good ol' pals Brent and Sabine and that was a lovely time, it's nice having people around who are from the same hometown and who I know from back in high school. But yes, we saw Vampire Weekend who is a band I've been dreaming of seeing since the ninth grade when my dear friend Nick introduced me to them (the first song I heard was Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa and every time I hear it it brings me back to the time I was waiting for my bus and he came up behind me with big earphones and snuck them on my noggin and it was heaven and sunshine). Bada bada bababadada bada bada da babumbum. They played mainly new stuff off Modern Vampires of the City (which makes sense wanting to promote a new album) but I wished it was more (or at least equally) focused on the old jams too! But I wasn't disappointed, I got to hear some of my favourite tunes like Walcott, Blake, Campus, Cousins, and s'more..
