Music: I recently went to a free concert and saw Ra Ra Riot, Passion Pit and Metric. I now really need to buy Ra Ra Riot's album. To do that I have to go the the "genius bar" and fix my itunes. I'd rather gargle anti-freeze. Metric's set was wonderful because they went acoustic so it sounded much more like Emily Haines' solo project, Emily Haines and the Soft Skeleton. 

I also need Deerhunter's new CD, and his side project, Atlas Sound. This song, Walkabout, features Panda Bear.

Books: I read a large part of Eugenides' collection of love stories. It has so many great names in it and I would love to own a copy. I liked Jon by George Saunders the best.

I also read Self-Help by Loorie Moore and adored it.

Now I am reading The Yellow House by Martin Gayford. It is about the last year of Vincent van Gogh's life in southern France when he lived with Paul Gauguin. I took a contemporary art course and I think my teacher read this exact book. I am still waiting to read about when Vincent would jump all over Paul hoping for cuddles and tickles fights.
