despite the fact that i am making this the most productive summer ever (see: doing awesome things every day), my evenings are very lacking. well, lacking isn't the best word. empty. my evenings are too empty.
a lot of people don't answer their phones. i've been told by more than one person that, though they do not answer their phones, they are very prompt when answering text messages. i see this as a huge slap in the face. if we're friends, and we're planning to hang out and exchange words in person, why would you be unwilling to hear my voice ahead of time? i still technically have to pay for texts, so i'd love to keep my text talks to a minimum. folks need to get away from these "technological advances."

Sarah Fogle has the most photogenic room i've ever seen. so many colors. funny that the only picture i shot in it has such a small amount of light. i'll take more shots next time we hang out.

time to start telling everyone to see Bike Maker. i've been going to their shows every now and then all this year, but this past show at art space... they found their sound. if you aren't doing anything and you pass up on going to one of their shows, it's your mistake.
i've been listening to The Sounds (see: myspace profile song). apparently swedish power pop is amazing. the music reminds me of New Order and their singer, Maja, has the best female singing voice/accent combination. if they come to Baltimore, despite the sea of douchebags that would attend that show, i'm definitely seeing them live.
i need a hair cut.
looking back at high school photos, it's crazy how my clothes have completely reversed. baggy jeans have been traded for tight jeans and crazy tight shirts have been traded for comfy, roomy ones. i used to jack youth large shirts from Target and think i was at the height of fashion. now, i fill out a large t-shirt nicely and my armpits are never hurt by a shirt that's just too damn small.
i copped another polaroid camera at Amy's dad's yard sale. my two most recent polaroids are my favorite i own, and i'll never find film for them. one is just too old but is in perfect shape. the other (the yard sale one) is kodak's polaroid rip-off. i have a feeling my collection is going to get gigantic over the coarse of this summer.

i've been glancing at leather jackets in thrift stores. i just can't bring myself to buy one, though. it doesn't seem right. leave it to Altamont to come through with an all cotton jacket that's made to look exactly like a motorcycle jacket. it's onsale for $42 on a random site. i asked my folks to get it and hide it away until christmas.
i really want to go swimming. let's get it on.
