my dancing smilies were keeping time!

I counted 28.

count seconded.

COULDN'T THEY HAVE SPARED THE BREATH FOR THREE MORE????

*sigh*

Is anyone else's connection not playing constantly anymore or is it just mine?

I missed the entire last verse.

Mine has cut out 4 times. = [

31 nothings.

I like the sort of slow groove "Was I..." has going on right now. Definitely one of my faves as of right now.

This song ROCKS!

I'm afraid to admit that I used to skip Hotel Arizona a lot...

XRT should've hired Jim Nantz for this job.

The guys talking feels like sports commentating or a PBS pledge drive...or something.

It's kind of lame.

This song makes me want to fall asleep instead of doing my homework or reading my stupid paper...

= / I think it would've been more effective at the end of the night.

Lol, now you're pushing it! Diamond Claw would be amazing though.

second that, and very much want it as well!

edit: who else is going to notice the dancing smilies?

I'm pretty sure that my boyfriend is ready to rip his ears off after how much I've talked at him about Wilco over the past few weeks, but he oughtta know that he should get that out of his system rrrrreal quick.

Here, you see, I'm being rather unproductive.

I intently listen to the radio feed as I read an old paper...

...as all of these textbooks sit, waiting to be read and homework beckons for my attention.

Oh well!

That bridge in In A Future Age is soo good.

I never thought I'd say anything related to "blistering" about that song, but Nels' solo was quite powerful indeed. I can't wait to get the bootleg for that song.

My connection cut out for the first part of summerteeth. Man, was I bummed...but it sounds frickin' awesome...the interlude sounded like magic! I wish I was there... = [

Hear the woos after the duh-duh-duh's?

Ha!

hope we get "someday soon" tonight

OMFG, me too!

I've been on a "Someday Soon" bender for weeks. That song makes me smile every time I hear it.

Ooohhh...sounds like Happeningstone just got some love from the crowd!

I saw the censored pics at perezhilton.com, and I can't help but to abhor the entire concept of her trying to emulate Marilyn. She can't work the image--I thought she looked kind of awkward in her Marilyn-esque getup [or lack thereof].

She should just stop trying.

Google rolled out street view footage of Milwaukee today...

Holy shit.

My house looks so cool!

Peel,

You're completely right. I need a sense of urgency about my education, and your suggestion to change schools may be what I need.

Thanks for making me think.

I can't imagine losing anyone, much less my mother, like how you lost yours. It's probably hard to find solace in the fact that she's gone, but her pain is over--which, I bet, she'd been waiting for for a long time. I hope her memory will help you cope.

My sympathies...

Not very well traveled compared to the rest of you...

Wilco: 4 times

perhaps once more this weekend if things REALLY don't work out with my trip to Madison...

Glenn/Nels: 7/30?/06 Milwaukee

Autumn Defense: 2/28/07 Milwaukee

I think I'm gonna go to bed now.

i wish i could find a pair of red high-waters like the ones nels wears.

those. are. kick. ass.

I had this idea a few days ago. Perhaps it isn't a new idea, but I thought it would be quite enjoyable for us fans that have forayed into the works of Wilco side-projects.

The idea is this: instead of a show involving strictly Wilco, make the concert somewhat of a variety show, involving Wilco, the Autumn Defense, Loose Fur [hopefully Jim O'Rourke would hang around stateside for a bit], the Glenn/Nels solo-duo [which I would LOOOOOOVE to experience again], maybe even the Blisters or [long shot] Golden Smog--each playing 2 or 3 songs, then rotating out to the next ensemble [in a semi-random fashion] for the duration of the show. It would be an exhibition of a small breadth of what these guys do.

The idea is far easier perceived in my own mind than it is to explain, but this is the gist of it, I suppose.

Fun, no?

[i know I'm missing a few of the projects, like the one John has with his sister, etc...]

Due tomorrow is an essay that I'm supposed to be writing for my Spanish class, but I am easily distracted and can't bring myself to do it. I'm soon to face doom. = [

I'm a first-semester sophomore [just came started again after a semester break], and I can't tell you how incredibly difficult it is for me to see myself getting the meteorology degree I've set out for.

I think it would've been different if I had been accepted at the first school I applied at. I know that I would have been challenged, that I would have changed; having to settle for a lesser institution hasn't done much for my motivation or work ethic. That's why I continue to stay up into the wee hours of the morning to write papers at the last minute--just like I did in high school. It's so easy to skate by with such little effort, especially when I still get As for mediocre work. Not having to spend time studying, or having to dedicate time to finding a good study system really worries me, because I don't know if there's another way to develop those skills--aside from hunkering down and just doing it.

I can't understand how some kids fail the same classes twice or three times in a row, when little is expected of their work [from the Professors and TAs]. I got a B+ in a class last year just for going to class 90% of the time, finishing most of the homework, and writing 9 pages of a 15 page paper. The class was instructed by the chairman of the economics department. You would think that he, of all people--editor of renowned economic journal [or so he said], researcher, intuitive analyst--would expect more effort and better work. [i think universities should offer classes on reverse logic, just so that the students that pay so much for their poor education can understand why such squalor runs rampant on campus.]

That professor isn't unlike the others I've had so far...however, the atmosci professor that I had my first semester seemed to have his head on straight. He told us a few times that he has a black belt in karate, and once claimed that he could "still kick this kid's ass" in his slightly old age.

[His hair looked like a cloud on his head. Definitely fit for a career in weather.]

That said, miss Katie, I'm sure you'd be welcome at my school. You'd have to move to Milwaukee [not cool like Canada], but they let almost everyone in. I'm sure they'd accept a Canadian for diversity purposes...
