currently spinning: travis: good feeling

tired! sleepy! stressed! whee!!

since recovering from my debilitating illness last week, I’ve been out and about much more than I should or really wish to be.. but I’ve certainly had a lot of fun. I’ll put them down in list form before I forget!

– Saturday: Cal-UCLA game. we crushed them by a crazy amount. met up with a friend of my best friend from junior high. very surreal. more thoughts on this later!
– Monday: Saw Bush in concert at the Roxy, this tiny little club on Sunset. My friend Julie won tix on KROQ, and I was the lucky person she picked to tag along! We were close enough to have Gavin sweat drip on us. Julie was in the front row. She ended up on stage by the end of the night. She got Gwen Stefani’s autograph. Dave Matthews, Mark McGrath, and a bunch of other people were there too. More on this later! I have a setlist up if you want to see it.
– Tuesday: Travis at Universal Amphitheater. Another awesome awesome concert. I love Fran Healy. For a setlist, see here.

It’s amazing how social I can be when I need to study. Last night, I was supposed to be studying for a midterm today, but I ended up mostly chatting with my study buddies, both of whom were trying (although not very hard) to absorb the course material. I learned so much last night, and it wasn’t just about medieval history, oh no!

So we ended up talking about old friends, and the topic of one person came up somehow. (don’t ask me how! that’s why I said “somehow!”) This person was a good friend of mine freshman year, but for reasons good and bad, we don’t really talk to each other anymore. Anyhow, I discovered last night that there’s a whole bit of, how do you say, “dorm lore” surrounding this girl. She’d somehow picked up the nickname “Foot” — not just from one or two people, but I think her whole floor! More on this later…

… and now today is Thursday, and I have a midterm in a few hours. More updates later. Going to study now. Wish me luck!
