a strange day; finals, coachella

im in class right now, but classes are a little out of order for me because of finals. its strange that i finish everything so fast that i have fifty minutes to utilize this computers internet for devious, coachella conspiring and blog writings. perhaps i didnt do as hot on my photo final as i expected (this is a joke of course.)

I decided im not going to read house of leaves anymore. its fucking me up. really. i dont have an addictive personality and it was really hard not to read it. That makes me really uncomfortable. i will finish it when im with joshua, when he lives here so im not so scared. i have it with me today, but i have no desire to read it. I havent read it since school on friday.

Today is one of the coldest days of the year. seriously. i woke up this morning and the sun was bright. im only wearing a tshirt and my light weight coachella sweater. the coldness is eating my bones. Im miserable, to make matters worse, I happened to forget my chapstick today my lips are so sad so so so sad. its so hard to imagine a weekend of shedding nearly all close sweaty dancing bodies, frozen lemonade and squirt guns (im totally going to bring something crazy/fun to coachella this year)

speaking of Coachella, im not going to rant like the people on the message board. The shitty headliners only mean people will not be coming for the popular bands (i.e. Rage against The Machine, Bjork, Red Hot Chilli Pepers) no one, i mean NO NO should travel out of state to see jack johnson. and people in California already get the chance to see him all the time. This means tickets will not be selling out. Sure Sunday will be filled with people who MAY only be there to see Roger Waters but oh well. The festival is going to be for those of us who are there for the festival experience and the smaller opening acts.
