I'm finally going through and listening to a shitload of albums I've picked up over the past 6 months or so and found a bunch of them are pretty damn good. That, and I've discovered the brilliance of Tom Waits, after passing up the 14 albums of his I've had shoved in my iTunes collection for probably over a year.

Break be spent reading, recording, seeing a few people, hanging at Chris' over all hours of the night, actually getting a new phone, combing through used records at the 2 used record shops I think still exist, and quite possibly just throwing my feet up and relaxing without any semblance of school or work looming over my head, which seems absurd.

Life is great.

Watch Heroes.
