TRIPLE OVERTIME

Stanley cup playoffs are going to give me an ulcer. Nerve-wrecking, especially the Blackhawks-Ducks series but I'm not complaining because this is a pretty damn good starting point for my hockey interest. Also I have no one to send all-capslock texts to but thank god for reddit, for being amusing and bitchy and having all-caps feelings and teaching me about hockey.

I DON'T REALLY HAVE A TEAM YET??? I am mostly rooting for individual players. Okay I lied I am emotionally invested in the Blackhawks. And Toews. On the Lightning-Rangers end of things I am just rooting for Lundqvist. Respect for goalies.

THESE CONFERENCE FINALS HAVE BEEN GREAT THOUGH.

Me: [link to article about how pretty one of the women being charged in the City Harvest misuse of funds case is]
        I don't think she's very pretty

W: She's the city harvest person right?
      She looks guilty
      SERINA WEE
      YOU HAVE FAILED THIS CITY
      Shooooooooop

YESSSSSSSSSS

I am done with Vicky and Nandhini's farewell cards. Srsly, look at the time.

Happy-making things:

Let's Dance to Joy Division, Strange Overtones, Mumford & Sons, KEXP podcasts, Black River Killer, Jospeh Arthur, Lykke Li, FINISHING THE CARDS.

Also-

The History Boys

Yes.

It's got lots of bits of poetry/music/films thrown in, none of which I understand, and I have to keep replaying scenes because I can't figure out their accents, but it is brilliant. Watching it for the second time now. (And I do mean after I finished it the first time, I pressed play again.)

It's got some really witty dialogue and the boys are so full of shit and they're having fun. They wear blazers and ties and coats! Scripps and Irwin have coats with high collars! Their accents! ('Fuck' comes out like 'fook', for some of them.) Scripps's accent is the most difficult to decipher, but I love his voice. And I keep going back to watch the bit where Posner re-enacts the scene from Brief Encounter. Also where they're sitting a circle during their shared lesson and arguing about history.

The characters are wonderful, especially the teachers. And I am falling asleep. So in summary:

IRWIN OH MY HEART.

HONEY LOVING YOU IS THE GREATEST THING

I GET TO BE MYSELF, AND I GET TO SING.

BELLE AND SEBASTIAN AHHHHHHHHHH. ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

That is all.

All the pictures I took are terrible, there is maybe one photo that turned out well.

BUT I DON'T CAREEEEEEEE B&S B&S B&S!

Pretty things

My friends. ♥

Sorry, but

DYING DYING JASMINE I AM DYING LOOK AT THEM.

There is a light that never goes out,

And if a double-decker bus, crashes into us.
To die by your side, is such a heavenly way to die. ♥

I love you so much it hurts

Cut out all the ropes and let me fall,

Some things for anyone who might be seeing this:

Bon Iver playing Skinny Love for a Take Away Show. It's so gorgeous and makes me happy in ways I can't describe. (You have to actually watch it, because half of why it's so good is because you can see how happy everyone is.)

Paradise Circus (Breakage's Tight Rope Remix)- Massive Attack. I heard it while playing Tap Tap this afternoon, and it is damn good. And if you like your music a little less electronic, there is always the original.

Jónsi and Alex (I'm referring to them-as-people, not them-as-artists) strike me as adorable and they make me happy, but in a wistful why-can't-my-life-be-like-theirs sort of way. I know it's odd, but that's the closest I can get to describing it.

I'm a deep sea diver

Things that made me happy today:

Mistaken for Strangers- The National

Someone said in the comments 'This is a video of The National just being cool'. Yes!

It made me insanely happy this morning, you have no idea how hard I was grinning. See 0:45 when the chorus starts, I love that shot of Matt Berninger and the ceiling. The shadow! The tilt of his head! The angle of the camera! ♥ I would screenshot that if the video quality was better.

Grizzly Bear walking down the streets of Paris, singing Knife.

Ed!!!!!!!!!1 Hahaha he's so embarrassed, he keeps covering his head with the jacket. I love his voice and this song.

Zach Condon walks down the streets of Paris (possibly drunk), singing Knife.

Look they're having so much fun! They're totally fudging the lyrics! And Zach Condon is kind of really adorable. And has a great voice. I wish I could walk down the street and see something like this.

Nantes- Beirut

If people did things like this more often, the world would be a happier place.
