I'm very pleased with the Oscars this year. My Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor, and Best Adapted Screenplay choices all took the prize. Harrison Ford presented an award. Cormac McCarthy was actually in the audience. Jon Stewart made me laugh. And it was a VERY cool, classy, and memorable move to invite Markéta Irglová back out to have her moment (did you realize she isn't even 20 years old yet? Crazy). I've also decided I have an elementary-like crush on Amy Adams. I think I might write her a note to see if she'll be my girlfriend. If anyone could pass her the note for me, that would be appreciated.

Not too much going on right now... just the school thing. I should have a pretty busy couple months coming up though, thankfully.

What I'm looking forward to:
1) March 8 -16: Spring Break (TBD still)
2) April 7: Going to see Spoon with The Walkmen and White Rabbits... 6 rows from the stage
3) April 12: Finally going skydiving
4) April 25-26: Whitewater rafting?
5) Early April: Making money again
6) May: Getting the semester over with
7) May 22, 2008 (henceforth known as Indiana Jones Day)
8) Summer: Taking it a little more easy than usual
9) Leaving the country this summer for a week or two to put that passport to use (TBD where)

What I'm not looking forward to:
1) Having to actually go back to work to make that money

Alright, so here's the mix of the moment. Again, not really much of a theme here other than it being music that I've been listening to lately and most of it being new music as I continue to seek out new bands that I know little to nothing about. You can listen to them in your browser or just 'Right Click, Save Link As' them.

1. Wheat - Don't I Hold You
2. Keane - The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine (Anymore)
3. Beirut - Nantes
4. Keane - Fly to Me
5. Band of Horses - The Funeral
6. Straylight Run - It's For the Best
7. The Kooks - Ooh La
8. Spoon - Chicago at Night
9. Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová - Falling Slowly
10. The Decemberists - O Valencia
11. Frank Capello - For You
12. The Beatles - For No One
13. Bruce Springsteen - Gypsy Biker
14. Radiohead - All I Need
15. John Mayer - Find Another You

Now stop being lazy. Leave a comment.
