come on baby, play me something/like ‘Here Comes the Sun’

I am so so so excited to start learning how to play the guitar. My lab mate has lent me his for the time being (I figure I’ll eventually buy it off him) and I can’t stop fiddling with it. I even like tuning it! (He lent me his digital tuner as well :D) Hopefully this is a hobby I can stick with 😀

Also, been listening to Metric’s Fantasies over and over again. Such a good album, how did I ignore it the first time I heard it?

Also, research blah blah blah.

I don’t know what it is about Explosions in the Sky—how do they manage to provoke such an emotional reaction in me without words? I teared up during one of the earlier songs (“First Breath After Coma,” perhaps “The Only Moment We Were Alone”) and definitely had damp eyes for most of “Your Hand in Mine.”

No encore, though, that was a little disappointing. 🙁 Apparently they played right up to curfew! Can’t ask for more than that.
