a creature is a creature, though you wish you were the wind.

Amp Energy started off today.  I've never tried it before because I usually just have coffee or if any energy drink, Red Bull, but it was actually pretty good.  
Other good news:
I found my cellphone.  
Fleetwood Mac is touring in March (and Stevie Nicks will be there)!  Must must must go.
Back to the city within the next few days.

Had my last class today, Poetry Workshop.  
Talked about the books of poetry that we chose to read and brought in a poem from an author that we admire.  I brought in Friend of the Darkness by Charles Bukowski, yeah, you know the guy Modest Mouse sang that song about.  He's a really awesome dude, the kind you could picture sitting in a seedy dive bar writing poems about bullshit and preying on beautiful women, imported beer in hand.  I've read two of his collections, "Love is a Dog from Hell" and "What Matters Most is How Well You Walk Through the Fire."  

I have wanted to hear the new TV on the Radio album for
 awhile because I have heard good things about it (if I'm not
 mistaken, I think it was voted best new album by Rolling Stone) and last night, I got the chance.  It hardly resembles their other album which I really really like, but this one is also really good if you don't get hung up on the fact that it is very different from what they normally sound like.

II est amer et doux, pendant les nuits d'hiver.

I hate that I always forget how cold winter gets here.  I've been wearing a lot more pants than I normally would because I don't really have any warm coats at school other than fur ones and it's not everyday that I feel like wearing them.  I guess leather isn't bad, at least it blocks the wind, though it is definitely not thick enough unless you wear a sweater too.  I want this version of my everyday I don't know/I have nothing to wear outfit:

Just found your blog. I guess I'm a creeper, but I love that Bukowski poem.

Oh and if you haven't read his fiction, I have a few books you need to borrow.

juste un autre fils de pute said...

Thank god someone else under the age of 50 knows who Bukowski is...
I've never read any of his fiction, mais oui, I would love to borrow a book from you.
