oh, I actually do have some of those songs, the “year” field just wasn’t filled in
so, cool… I have at least one song from every year since 1968

I was procrastinating again and discovered that I have at least one song in my iTunes library from each year since 1968, except for 1985. What’s a good song that came out in 1985? I need to fill that gap now.

hmm

do you think I can take 652 pictures in the next 30 days before I fly back to the US?

that’s how many more I need before the file numbering on my camera is back to what it was when I acquired my camera 2 years ago… which means I’ll have taken 10,000 pictures with this camera 

where did the time go

Here’s the end of the concert, with Skrillex disappearing into a cloud of steam like some magician.

Overall I had a way better time last night than in Chicago, but here’s a breakdown:

Pros

  • Lax security (only people with bags were checked)
  • Free water
  • Less underage girls dressed like skanks
  • Ellie Goulding secretly in attendance (my friend saw her, but unfortunately I didn’t)
  • He played for almost 2 hours, instead of just one hour like in Chicago
  • Better setlist, including:
    - All but one of his songs from Bangarang (Summit was the best)
    - Remix of Bassnectar’s “The Matrix” (first time they’ve remixed each other?)
    - “Levels” remix, of course
    - “Promises” wasn’t awkwardly mixed with “My Name Is Skrillex” like last time 

Cons

  • Didn’t have the Skrillex Cell, just a giant LED screen and a lot of lasers/lights
    - although he did have steam and confetti, which I don’t think he had in Chicago
  • Rowdy teenage boys moshing at the drops
  • Warmer than Congress Theater (but not as warm as Myth)
  • Didn’t play:
    - In for the Kill
    - Scatta
    - With You Friends (Long Drive)
    - Hey Sexy Lady

A million tomorrows for one yesterday, that’s what I’d gladly pay. A mountain of sorrows now stands in my way, a mountain I foolishly made.

To go here in May, or not to go here in May… hmm

I love my mom

Last week I had accidentally overdrawn my bank account, because of a combination of things including trying to do USD->GBP conversion in my head and just not paying close enough attention to my balance. I knew I would get a charged a fee if I didn’t get money in my account ASAP, but it takes 3-4 days to transfer money from my one bank account to the other online. I sent my mom a message asking if she could run to the bank quick and deposit some into my account immediately. I only needed about $33, but she put in $50. A few days later after my own money transferred over, I asked her if there was a way I could send her the $50 back since I had no need of it anymore. She said no, just consider it a gift towards a night out in Portugal (which is where I’m going next month for a weekend). This is the same mom that was very strongly opposed to me even coming here this semester.
