Crazy Indian restaurant we ate at with a ceiling covered with lights and shit

for more pictures and hilarity, go check out Whitey's Blog, because he loves to take cell phone pics so his is a bit more extensive.

NYC playlist: Dodewaard, Brume Retina, Hiro, Amalthea, Gantz, June Paik, Tristan Tzara.

I guess I've been on this big Euro Skramz kick recently. If you are a fan of the genre at all, i strongly urge you to check out the aforementioned bands.

I also read Watership Down, the Watchmen graphic novel, and Diary by Chuck Palanuck all over break, which is a big deal for me.

And i finally have a functional record player thanks to my mom and dad!

So now that break is over, its back to stress, classes, trying to get a decent GPA to get into the teaching field and this:
